_array.... function in BETA - script breaking changes

[mLipok]

I started to study changes in the BETA version and more specifically in the functions contained in the Array.au3 .
Thus, some entries in the Track

But seriously, Continuing this thread , initially looked HelpFile version 3.3.10.2 and 3.3.11.5 .
I did a comparison.
I have some of my own conclusions , and now I ask for their verification.

Conclusion # 1 :
In fact, the importance of the parameters for one-dimensional arrays EDIT:can not be changed .

Conclusion # 2:
For some functions have changed Return Values ​​I am thinking of a change in the meaning of @ error

Conclusion # 3:
For some functions, supplemented functionality with support for two-dimensional arrays .

Conclusion # 4:
Added quite a few new functions .

 

QUESTIONS:

Taking this into account the only real changes are relevant to the meaning of " SCRIPT BREAKING CHANGES " is only Conclusion # 2 ?

Am I right or missed something ?

 

btw .
Aside from the fact that such a short summarized it changes , I appreciate the effort that has been brought in to make these changes.

Conclusion #5:

based on _ArrayUnique () I noticed that some functions changed the way of references to arrays,

old example

_ArrayUnique ( $aArray .......

new example

_ArrayUnique ( Const ByRef $aArray .....

I understand this is about so much importance that it reduces memory usage and speeds up the execution of a function.

Are there are any other effects of this change?
