Yes, this style of returning strings has been changed.
In most of the places the new release returns a malloced C-string which is
declared as `:malloc-free' so that c-lisp can garbage collect (or free it)
when no-longer in use. 
This doesn't causes any memory leaks as the reference variable is not being
copied.
