Please in the future post reports and questions about pretest Emacs
versions to emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org or emacs-devel@gnu.org; if you
use "M-x report-emacs-bug", Emacs will do that for you.  This list is
for reports about released Emacs versions.

Yes, this change in behavior is intended.

Please make sure to read the file NEWS, if not before you start using
the new version, then at least when you have some problem with the new
and changed features.  In this case, NEWS has the following
information for you:

    ** Emacs now displays a splash screen by default even if command-line
    arguments were given.  The new command-line option --no-splash
    disables the splash screen; see also the variable
    `inhibit-startup-message' (which is also aliased as
    `inhibit-splash-screen').
