I'm not sure if your scenario is the same? An addition of a new field in a JSON response generally shouldn't cause breakage. Though doing it without bumping a version should be rare, especially without a big documentation notice.

"Services MUST increment their version number in response to any breaking API change. See the following section for a detailed discussion of what constitutes a breaking change. Services MAY increment their version number for nonbreaking changes as well, if desired.” Of course you want to mention that a new field was added and what it is for, but why do you need a big notice? Your clients should just continue to work.
