The codex says that taxonomy names "should only contain lowercase letters and the underscore character", but that's not enforced. It's too late to enforce it, since some plugins haven't been following it and the official phpdoc doesn't mention this restriction.

When querying for terms in hierarchical taxonomies, `get_terms()` initially
queries for all matching terms, and then trims the located results based on the
`$number` and `$offset` arguments passed to the function. See #8832. However,
a flaw in the original logic meant that results were failing to be trimmed
properly in cases where `$offset` exceeds the total number of matching terms;
in these cases, we should force an empty array.

`get_terms()` has historically required that a taxonomy be specified when
querying terms. This requirement is related to the fact that terms could
formerly be shared between taxonomies, making `$taxonomies` critical for
disambiguation. Since terms can no longer be shared as of 4.4, it'
s desirable to be able to query for terms regardless of what taxonomy they're in.
Because it's now optional to pass taxonomies, it's no longer necessary to have
`$taxonomies` as the first (and required) parameter for `get_terms()`. The new
function signature is `get_terms( $args )`, where 'taxonomy' can (optionally) be
passed as part of the `$args` array. This syntax is more consistent with
functions like `get_users()` and `get_posts()`.
We've maintained backward compatibility by always giving precedence to the old
argument format. If a second parameter is detected, or if it's detected that
the first parameter is a list of taxonomy names rather than an `$args` array,
`get_terms()` will parse the function arguments in the legacy fashion.

The `$orderby` parameter of `get_terms()` now accepts the following values,
related to term meta:
* 'meta_value'
* 'meta_value_num'
* the value of the `$meta_key` parameter
* any key from the `$meta_query` array
This brings order-by-meta support for terms in line with post, comment, and
user queries.
As a byproduct of these improvements, `$meta_key` and `$meta_value` parameters
have been introduced to `get_terms()`. They interact with `$meta_query` in the
same way as in `WP_Query` and other query classes.

[32353] changed the way the 'name' param in `get_terms()` is sanitized, by
running it through `sanitize_term_field( 'name' )` before performing the SQL
query. An unintentional side effect of this change was that the string is
double-escaped: once by `wp_filter_kses()`, and once by `esc_sql()`. The
double-escaping was causing 'name' queries to fail when the param contained
apostrophes or other escaped characters.

[34999] modified the cache strategy for terms in the context of
`wp_get_object_terms()`. As part of these changes, the `object_id` property of
term objects had to be unset before being cached. To avoid modifying passed-by-
reference terms, `update_term_cache()` attempted to make a copy of the terms
passed to the function; however, it failed to use the `clone` keyword, and thus
only created a reference instead of a copy.

Passing `'description' => null` when creating a term can cause MySQL notices,
as the description column in the terms table does not allow for null values.
We correct this by intepreting a `null` description as an empty string.

[35333] implemented `public=false` for taxonomies. The implementation prevented
non-public taxonomies from having their archives accessed via query_var during
a normal request. But it didn't prevent non-public taxonomies from registering
their query vars in the `$wp_taxonomies` global. The latter implementation
details causes problems specifically when a taxonomy is registered with
`query_var=true`; for public taxonomies, `register_taxonomy()` translates this
into a query_var equivalent to the taxonomy name, but in the case of non-public
taxonomies, the query_var was set to the boolean itself. The boolean then
causes problems when using non-strict comparison to filter taxonomy objects by
query_var, as when using `get_taxonomies()`.
This changeset addresses the issue by forcing the query_var property of
non-public taxonomies to `false`.

[34217] removed the `ORDER BY` clause from `update_object_term_cache()`, for
improved performance. But this proved to cause problems in cases where users
were expecting the results of `get_the_terms()` to be ordered by 'name'. Let's
revert the change for the time being, and look into more disciplined ordering
in a future release.

The introduction of 'meta_query' to `get_terms()` in 4.4 made it possible for
`get_terms()` to erroneously return duplicate results. To address the issue,
we add the `DISTINCT` keyword to the SQL query when a 'meta_query' parameter
has been provided.

`get_term()` now returns a `WP_Term` object, instead of a `stdClass` object.
Cache support and sanitization filters for individual terms are now more
centralized. For example, `get_term_by()` is able to cast results of its query
to a `WP_Term` object by passing it through `get_term()`.
The `$taxonomy` parameter for `get_term()` is now optional, as terms ought to
be unique to a taxonomy (ie, shared terms no longer exist). In cases where
`get_term()` detects that the term matching the specified term_id is from the
wrong taxonomy, it checks to see if you've requested a shared term, and if so,
it splits the term. This is used only for fallback purposes.
The elimination of shared terms allows the caching strategy for terms to be
simplified. Individual terms are now cached in a single 'terms' bucket.

`wp_suspend_cache_invalidation()` was originally added to increase performance,

[32814] introduced a routine to split shared terms, which was run during the
regular WP database upgrade. This turned out to be problematic because plugins
are not loaded during the db upgrade (due to `WP_INSTALLING`), with the result
that plugins were not able to hook into the 'split_shared_term' action during
the bulk split. We work around this limitation by moving the term splitting
routine to a separate process, triggered by a wp-cron hook.
