- * Interface changes relative to the 1.0.3 release:
+ * A new gpgme_free() function solves the problem of using different
+   allocators in a single program.  This function should now be used
+   instead calling free() to release the buffer returned by
+   gpgme_data_release_and_get_mem.  It is recommended that you always
+   do this, but it is only necessary on certain platforms, so backwards
+   compatibility is provided.  In other words: If free() worked for
+   you before, it will keep working.
