+	* Source-level incompatibility: rename QUtil::strcasecmp to
+	QUtil::str_compare_nocase. This is a non-compatible change, but
+	QUtil::strcasecmp is hardly the most important part of qpdf's API.
+	The reason for this change is that strcasecmp is a macro on some
+	systems, and that was causing problems when QUtil.hh was included
+	in certain circumstances. Fixes #242.

 Next ABI
 ========
 
- * Rename QUtil::strcasecmp since strcasecmp is a macro on some
-   platforms. See #242.
-
  * Get rid of the version of QPDF::copyForeignObject with the bool
    unused parameter.
