I have altered which address is used for your transaction's change address.

Previously change always went to the first address in your wallet. (It is not a very sophisticated algorithm admittedly).

Recently there have been a number of people importing their blockchain.info backups into MultiBit. I think this is a combination that it is now doable (it takes about 30 minutes on wifi) and the recent blockchain.info DDOS attacks.

With change going to the first address in a wallet change was always going to the initially created address, not one of the blockchain.info imported keys. This is a bit confusing.

With the change address the second address (where it exists) the change will go into one of the imported key addresses. You will see your bitcoin in both MultiBit and blockchain.info.

For regular transactions it should not make much difference.
It will appear in the next live release.
