Strength potions prior to 1.6 added 1.5 hearts of attack damage per level.
In versions 1.6+, strength potions add 130% hearts of attack damage per level. This was not stated in the change-logs, therefore being unintentional. This new buff causes enchanted weapons to be extremely overpowered, and ruins Minecraft PvP for anyone who can brew strength potions.

MC-18661 was a bug before Minecraft 1.6 was released.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.7.2 / Launcher version 1.3.4 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
