 Indeed and that's an upstream decision since the 3.0 release[1]. Quoting:
"Flip and rotation (keys "<", ">", "|", and "_") no longer change the
underlying file. This leaves delete ("Ctrl+Delete") as the only
destructive action which is enabled by default.
Add option --edit, which makes flip and rotation change the underlying
file as well as the displayed image. This was the default behaviour in
feh 1.x and 2.x".
You have three options to circumvent this. Use the 's' key to save the
modified image with the 'feh_' filename prefix, use 'feh --edit' to
view and be able to change your pictures (please close the bug in
these cases if you agree with it) or as a package uploader you can
restore the previous behavior with patching src/options.c to set
opt.edit unconditionally (close this bug from the changelog then).

Kind regards,
