Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):
* The iconv utility no longer returns exit status 1 after a successful //TRANSLIT transliteration
* A counter overflow in __wcsmbs_clone_conv that occurred when setlocale was called has been fixed
* A fcntl.h header conflict when compiling on Rocky Linux 10 has been resolved
* Minor documentation improvements have been picked up from upstream
