+From f450770ea81682323a3c1704b6eafcb88d44a175 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Pieter Hintjens <ph@imatix.com>
+Date: Sat, 2 May 2015 14:54:11 +0200
+Subject: [PATCH] Problem: inconsistent use of 'const' on some methods
+
+Solution: any method that returns a managed string (i.e. not a fresh
+string that the caller must free) should return 'const char *'.
+
+Fixes #319
+
