the number or the order of their arguments to be in accordance with the API function
argument passing conventions.

The function MATCH(int set_id, int prtn_set_id) replaced the function MATCH(int
prtn_set_id, int set_id). The order of the argument changed.

get_matched(int prtn_set_id, int obj_set_id). The order of the argument changed.

set_put_pri(int set_id, cm_value *cmval). The name of the function changed.
The function return_prm(int set_id, cm_value *cmval) replaced the function
return_prs(int set_id, cm_value *cmval). The name of the function changed.
Some new functions have been added to the API: (a) all the functions that handle
tuples e.g. tuple_join() (described in section 6.6, (b) functions to compare time
