Problems with Symbols, High Severity (5)

	Change	Effect
1	Method became const.	The name of the appropriate symbol for this function on binary level has been changed from _ZN10ClipperLib8PolyNode10ChildCountEv to _ZNK10ClipperLib8PolyNode10ChildCountEv. This may cause "undefined reference" linker error in old client applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Method became const.	The name of the appropriate symbol for this function on binary level has been changed from _ZN10ClipperLib8PolyNode7GetNextEv to _ZNK10ClipperLib8PolyNode7GetNextEv. This may cause "undefined reference" linker error in old client applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Method became const.	The name of the appropriate symbol for this function on binary level has been changed from _ZN10ClipperLib8PolyNode6IsHoleEv to _ZNK10ClipperLib8PolyNode6IsHoleEv. This may cause "undefined reference" linker error in old client applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Method became const.	The name of the appropriate symbol for this function on binary level has been changed from _ZN10ClipperLib8PolyTree8GetFirstEv to _ZNK10ClipperLib8PolyTree8GetFirstEv. This may cause "undefined reference" linker error in old client applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Method became const.	The name of the appropriate symbol for this function on binary level has been changed from _ZN10ClipperLib8PolyTree5TotalEv to _ZNK10ClipperLib8PolyTree5TotalEv. This may cause "undefined reference" linker error in old client applications.

Problems with Symbols, Low Severity (3)

	Change	Effect
1	5th parameter MiterLimit has been renamed to limit.	Renaming of a parameter may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.
2	6th parameter AutoFix has been renamed to autoFix.	Renaming of a parameter may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.
3	The default argument of 5th parameter MiterLimit has been changed from 2 to 0.	Applications will pass an old default (compile-time) argument that may not be properly handled anymore. This may result in crash or incorrect behavior of applications.
