Problems with Data Types, Medium Severity (3)

	Change	Effect
1	Type of field tags has been changed from *flickcurl_tag[20] (80 bytes) to flickcurl_tag (4 bytes).	1) Size of the inclusive type has been changed. 2) Previous accesses of applications and library functions to this field and fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be broken.
2	The pointer level of field tags has been increased from 1 to 2.	The library functions may try to access unallocated memory by the dereferencing of old field value and therefore cause a crash of applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Field authorname has been added at the middle position of this structural type.	1) Size of the inclusive type has been changed. 2) Layout of structure fields has been changed and therefore fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be incorrectly accessed by applications.

Problems with Symbols, Medium Severity (1)

	Change	Effect
1	Type of parameter field has been changed from enum flickcurl_person_field to enum flickcurl_person_field_type of different format.	This parameter may be incorrectly initialized by applications.

Problems with Data Types, Low Severity (7)

	Change	Effect
1	Size of this type has been changed from 184 bytes to 196 bytes.	The fields or parameters of such data type may be incorrectly initialized or accessed by old client applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of field integer has been changed from int to enum flickcurl_person_field_type.	Replacement of the field data type may indicate a change in the semantic meaning of the field.

	Change	Effect
1	Size of this type has been changed from 476 bytes to 400 bytes.	The fields or parameters of such data type may be incorrectly initialized or accessed by old client applications.
2	The pointer level of field tags has been decreased from 1 to 0.	The library functions will treat the value of this field as the lower-dimension array and will not read all elements. This may change the behavior of applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of field integer has been changed from int to enum flickcurl_photo_field_type.	Replacement of the field data type may indicate a change in the semantic meaning of the field.

	Change	Effect
1	Field count has been added to this type.	1) This field will not be initialized by old clients. 2) Size of the inclusive type has been changed. NOTE: this field should be accessed only from the new library functions, otherwise it may result in crash or incorrect behavior of applications.
2	Size of this type has been changed from 24 bytes to 32 bytes.	The fields or parameters of such data type may be incorrectly initialized or accessed by old client applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Base type of 1st parameter context has been changed from struct flickcurl_context_s to struct flickcurl_context.	Replacement of parameter base type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

	Change	Effect
1	Base type of 1st parameter contexts has been changed from struct flickcurl_context_s to struct flickcurl_context.	Replacement of parameter base type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.
