There shouldn't be any intentional changes to timer handling, but bugs can
always creep in, of course. Without knowing what regressions you see, it
is a bit moot to discuss.

Well, which changes specifically? I only get one warning with current
versions of gcc, so you probably use another compiler with its own
warnings or enable extra warnings tailored to your specific coding style
or needs.

You can read a bit more about this in the documentation:
