If user code encountered errors, this +was indicated via integer return codes -- a zero return value +indicating success. + +This is not in line with how C++ typically operates; in C++ errors are +typically indicated via exceptions. The interfaces to the libraries +above have been changed to now use exceptions instead, and this +convention has been documented in a glossary entry on +@ref GlossUserProvidedCallBack "user provided callback". +
