As a matter of interest, are there any official release notes for
Android versions? The closest I can find is this:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/11/27/changelog-whats-new-in-android-4-2-1-jop40d/

which confirms the December bug was fixed but also states "Note: There
could be other changes in closed-source components."

All I know is that I could not get any combination of settings in
4.2.0 to allow the Japanese IME working if the system language was not
set to Japanese; following the upgrade to 4.2.1 it started working
without problems.
