It apparently is different from 2.14.2, but I would not call this a
regression.

In 3/4, I would like to have 6 eights beamed together, but if any
rests are involved, the beaming should be per quarter in order to
preserve the 3-beat character. In:

\relative c'' {
   \time 3/4
    r4 r8 c c c
 }

the default beaming in 2.14.2 gives an impression of a 2-beat, which should
be avoided.
