	Change	Effect
1	Type of 2nd parameter inbuf has been changed from unsigned short constconst to unsigned short const.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.
2	Type of 1st parameter trantab has been changed from char constconst to char const.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

Problems with Constants (1)

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant PACKAGE_BUGREPORT has been changed from "" to "john.boyer@jjb-software.com".	Applications will pass an old value of this constant as the parameter to the new-version library functions, that expect a new one. This may result in crash of incorrect behavior of applications.
