You can switch back to 98.1 now.
The easy workaround is to use:

\begin{changebar} .... \end{changebar}

rather than  \cbstart ... \cbend  or  \chgbarbegin ... \chgbarend .

Alternatively, you can hack 5 small edits to  changebar.perl
so that *all* of these commands work properly:


To &cbstart  and  &cbend  and  &cbdelete  
simply add a few characters to the last line of their code:

sub cbstart{
        ...
    join ('', &put_cb_icon('begin',2, $cb_string), @_[0]);
                                                     ^^^
                                    add this --------|||

sub cbend{
        ...
    join ('', &put_cb_icon('begin',2, $cb_string), @_[0]);
                                                     ^^^
                                    add this --------|||

sub do_cmd_cbdelete{
        ...
    join ('', &put_cb_icon('delete',2, $cb_string), @_[0]);

                                                      ^^^
                                    add this --------_|||


Then edit the definitions of  &chgbarbegin  and  &chgbarend
to read:

sub do_cmd_chgbarbegin { &do_cmd_cbstart(@_) }
sub do_cmd_chgbarend { &do_cmd_cbend(@_) }


That fixed the problem for me.

Thanks for the bug-report.

        All the best,
