-    tests: fix false failure in nohup.sh in non tty builds
-    
-    * tests/misc/nohup.sh: When running tests without a controlling tty,
-    an exec failure is triggered in a subshell, which causes POSIX
-    shells to immediately exit the subshell.  This was brought
-    to notice by the newly conforming bash 4.3.
-    Fixes http:/bugs.gnu.org/16940

+Remove support for loadable gconv transliteration modules.
+The support for transliteration modules has been non-functional for

+with //TRANSLIT is still possible, and the //IGNORE specifier
+continues to be  supported. (CVE-2014-5119)
