The changes in latin3.def are trivial:
* Removal of \makeatletter/\makeatother, because it is now handled
  in \inputencoding with restoring the previous catcode of `@'.
  Seems irrelevant here.
* Copyright years/version number, also irrelevant.

However inputenc.sty has changed, e.g.:

  % \changes{v1.2a}{2014/04/20}{add \cs{protect} so undefined characters
are robust (pr/4182)}%

Therefore undefined slots now generates such lines in latin3.idx:

  \indexentry{\@inpenc at undefined@ {latin3}--80}{1}
  \indexentry{\@inpenc at undefined@ {latin3}--81}{1}
  \indexentry{\@inpenc at undefined@ {latin3}--82}{1}

Previously:

  \indexentry{\GenericError  {(inputenc)                }{Package
inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined\MessageBreak in
inputencoding }{See the inputenc package documentation for
explanation.}{You need to provide a definition with \def {o}\def {}\edef
{}\@inpenc at test \bgroup \uccode `\~\MessageBreak \uppercase {\egroup
\def \nobreakspace  {}}{o}r \@inpenc at test \bgroup \uccode `\~b\uppercase
{\egroup \def \nobreakspace  {}}efore using this key.}--80}{1}


And make-inp-rules.pl filters out lines with "inputenc Error":

    if (!($1 =~ /inputenc Error/)) {

Refinement for the "robust" error messages, e.g.:

    if (!($1 =~ /inputenc Error|\@inpenc\@undefined/)) {

Then I get the same latin3.xdy file as before.

The Makefile wants also to remove the error lines for %.raw
files. Another `grep -v' for the new text helps.
