Not sure what they've just messed up but my diamond armor seems like a leather armor now and doesn't seem to protect more than a leather armor even with all the enchants I have on them.

Which development version was this implemented in? I was unable to find the change on the wiki or the Mojang changelogs.
Just testing right now, it seems that it only affect the armor I was wearing prior to update from 15w33c to 15w34b, the rest of them and even some of my old armors seems to work fine.
If its intended, please tell me its not the same for swords and such, that would be insanely bad and mean we would need to carry 3-4 swords and 2 full sets of armors when exploring new caves. I understand its not final and theses changes need to be adjusted but it makes it much more harder right now especially against witche and skeletons.
Sonicwave, its on the 15w34b wiki page.
Armor points now depend on armor durability
When armor reaches half durability, armor points will go to 1 (half an armor bar)
Sonicwave: 15w34b. See my changelog:

and a related @jeb_ tweet:
Intended: Armor durability affects armor value now.
