One behavior change is that after calling `setParameter()`, one can call `init()` again with a key using different parameters. I think this should be allowed since we are reusing the signature object with a brand new key.

Do the behavioral changes you've cited in the PR description warrant a CSR, or do you feel this behavioral change is still consistent with the current Signature API documentation?
