I'm not seeing a change in behavior. In a quick test, keywords entered in the Description panel for a JPG are being saved, and are being used in the album build.

But that panel really needs to be reworked. For non-JPG objects, it lets the user "edit" the entries, but then loses them once the project is closed. That should never happen. Either save the entries, or make the fields "display only."

I was going to suggest ditching the panel entirely, and using only the Details view. But then I discovered that entering things like copyright information in the Details view also fails to save the entries for non-JPG objects. Oddly, in that mode, it actually does save keywords.

This is all a bit of a mess.

I tried the keywords again and it didn't work, but it does on other images. So I copied the 'bad' image to another project (copy outside of jAlbum) and it works in that project. So it looks like a problem with the project files and not with the function itself. Though the other concerns stilll stand.

Yes, that's an improvement. At least it doesn't let users enter information that's going to vanish in a puff of smoke. I'm sure it will generate some support requests - "Why is this always dimmed out?" We just need to remember to steer them to the Details view, and also to the preferences setting to include copyright and keyword fields in that Explore view.
