Problems with Data Types, Medium Severity (2)

	Change	Effect
1	Base type has been changed from std::complex<double> to gsl_complex of different format.	The fields or parameters of such data type may be incorrectly initialized or accessed by old client applications.

Problems with Data Types, Low Severity (2)

	Change	Effect
1	Field pDetector became const.	The value of this field is expected to be const in new library version, but can be modified by old applications.
2	Type of field pDetector has been changed from LALDetector* to LALDetector const*.	Replacement of the field data type may indicate a change in the semantic meaning of the field.

Problems with Symbols, Low Severity (6)

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 2nd parameter input has been changed from *COMPLEX16Vectorrestrict** to COMPLEX16Vector const*restrict.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 2nd parameter input has been changed from *COMPLEX8Vectorrestrict** to COMPLEX8Vector const*restrict.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 3rd parameter D has been changed from REAL4[3]* to float[3] const*.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 7th parameter D has been changed from REAL4[3]* to float[3] const*.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

Problems with Constants, Low Severity (5)

	Change	Effect
1	The constant LAL_PRINTF_BUFSIZE with value 4096 has been removed.	The value of this constant may no longer be properly handled by new-version library functions.

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant LAL_VCS_ID has been changed from "93c2cc4647065f8954108d6fdb68b3497c5ee798" to "8140347ea6fa4167d17e64e1fe0c0d3d151cf229".	Applications will pass an old value of this constant as the parameter to the new-version library functions, that expect a new one. This may result in crash of incorrect behavior of applications.

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant LAL_VCS_IDENT_ID has been changed from "$" "LALId: 93c2cc4647065f8954108d6fdb68b3497c5ee798 " "$" to "$" "LALId: 8140347ea6fa4167d17e64e1fe0c0d3d151cf229 " "$".	Applications will pass an old value of this constant as the parameter to the new-version library functions, that expect a new one. This may result in crash of incorrect behavior of applications.

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant LAL_VCS_IDENT_TAG has been changed from "$" "LALTag: lal-v6.11.0 " "$" to "$" "LALTag: lal-v6.12.0 " "$".	Applications will pass an old value of this constant as the parameter to the new-version library functions, that expect a new one. This may result in crash of incorrect behavior of applications.

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant LAL_VCS_TAG has been changed from "lal-v6.11.0" to "lal-v6.12.0".	Applications will pass an old value of this constant as the parameter to the new-version library functions, that expect a new one. This may result in crash of incorrect behavior of applications.
