user74: I have been using blockchain.info's my wallet to perform transactions, one of the reason I liked it was because I could choose to not pay a transaction fee. But recently I noticed blockchain.info's interface has changed, there's no way to not include a transaction fee now? (or am I wrong about that?). 
Was there a change in the Bitcoin protocol to require transaction fee? or are there still clients available that has the function of not paying a transaction fee?

user1382: Use the Frugal option.  That way only the minimum (recommended) fee is included and only if the protocol rules require that you pay a fee. 

user153: Use Send Custom for full control over fees.
Click Send Money tab, then on the left menu under Transaction Type click Custom.
