The JEP mention improvements such as:
Enhancements to the API to support operations on characters, such as for UTF-8 character decoding. Specifically, we add methods for copying characters between short vectors and char arrays, and new vector comparison operators for unsigned comparisons with integral vectors.
I have no idea whether this is directly useful or not for this lib :)
