If I'm understanding the shitty change log exactly, was the solution to add an extra bit?

I guess thats a joke. Adding a single extra bit would usually be more complex then going to 64bit or going to 32bit unsigned.

Well, I say that, but actually, "adding an extra bit" is basically what going from signed to unsigned would do. So maybe they just added an extra (32nd) bit?
