No, I really mean changed.

Here’s an interesting, though by no means exhaustive, chart:

Merely using different texts, namely Alexandrian/Sinai (RSV type)instead of Byzantine Majority texts (KJV type).

Personally I prefer the Majority texts.

No changes in doctrines in either.

Therefore, don't take our word for it, listen to how Mormon scholors explain away changes to the BoM while maintaining that it is the most correct book ever written:
 
 
 

 

1. "Born of a Virgin" Change - as told by FAIR

"In 1837 Joseph Smith made several editorial changes in the Book of Mormon. Many are relatively innocuous, but one of them is much more substantial. In the 1830 edition of the Book of Mormon, the verse we know as 1 Nephi 11:18 reads:

And he said unto me: Behold, the virgin whom thou seest is the mother of God, after the manner of the flesh.

For the 1837 edition, Joseph inserted "the Son of," so that the verse has read ever since:

And he said unto me: Behold, the virgin whom thou seest is the mother of the Son of God, after the manner of the flesh.

There is no way to know just what was on Joseph Smith's mind when he made that change, but that hasn't stopped a lot of people from trying.
