I guess you are talking about NEWS, not ChangeLog.

Yup. That's what I gathered Damien to mean, considering we do mention this change in the generated ChangeLog.

It's tru we don't
describe bug-fixes in NEWS, but we do describe incompatible changes.
So I think it would be good to document this change there.  Could you
suggest some simple description of that?

Something like "url-request-data is not allowed to be bound to a multibyte value; if your request body is multibyte (which is the usual case, by the way), convert it with encode-coding-string".

Hmm... by the way, we could also mention that json-encode now keeps most multibyte characters as-is. Which is the reason we had to scramble to fix this problem with the URL package.

(I don't understand the
details of the use case well enough to do that myself -- how is the
value of url-request-data related to the change we made in
url-http-create-request?)

The related change is for the previous bug report (23750), and the commit a98aa02a that added the "Multibyte text in HTTP request" error.
