The change was in not providing an updated version of SpeedGrade to work via the process Adobe called "Direct Link", where SpeedGrade essentially used part of the PrPro program code (an engineer said) to run the actual PrPro project file from "within " SpeedGrade.
Technically.
Yes, a user created that spiffy little program that auto-converts one digit in a current PrPro project file so it can be opened with the last SpeedGrade version, 2015.1. I've tested it and purchased it.
After you've finished grading, you save the file from SpeedGrade before exiting and "open" that saved PrPro project file in the converter again and it auto-converts that one character back so the current PrPro can read it again.
You can manually do this from instructions in other threads in the SpeedGrade forum ... after a Mac user posted the steps, I worked the same procedure through in a Windows OS and posted a thread with both OS versions.
I'd rather pay the very small fee for that tool than spend the time required to do it manually ... or to do the round trip via EDL to SpeedGrade or XML to Resolve along with all the conform hassles.
One caveat ... AfterEffects comps don't normally work with this so for those you need to render a full digital intermediate codec file out of AE and replace the company with it.
I don't have the link on my phone but you're most welcome to go to the Overview page of this forum and use the bug/features request form ... which is the main way to get a tabulated result of user requests up the "chain".
