    It'd be useful if you shared an example. If you're talking about lines that have changed, show us the
    old version and the new version.

    In any event, the changelog for text.dat is here:

    http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ctrl/text.dat

    Many of the commit messages explain what was changed, and why.

    You may be noticing a pattern of each of your questions being responded to with a question asking for
    clarification or more detail. You might consider sharing more detail at the outset.

    You'll have to cite specific examples for explanations. I'm sure it's a different answer for each case.
