	* emulation/cua-base.el (cua-use-hyper-key): Doc fix.
	(cua--init-keymaps): Bind C-return instead of S-return to set
	rectangle mark.

	* emulation/cua-rect.el (cua--init-rectangles): Bind C-return
	instead of S-return to toggle/clear rectangle mark.

.. so I wouldn't say "recently".

Two reasons:

To align it with C-SPC which toggles the region mark.

Typing RET after entering an upper-case word would often resulted in
hitting S-RET with pretty confusing results (huh, no newline? - and then
you have to enter another S-RET to get back to normal editing state once
you realize what really happened).  Must have done that 1000 times myself!

Nothing prevents you from making your own bindings...
