Problems with Symbols, High Severity (2)

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 3rd parameter gpsnan has been changed from INT4 (4 bytes) to INT8 (8 bytes).	Layout of parameter's stack has been changed and therefore parameters at higher positions in the stack may be incorrectly initialized by applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of return value has been changed from int (4 bytes) to void.	1) Applications will not obtain a return value and execution may change. 2) Layout of parameter's stack has been shifted by 4 bytes because the hidden first parameter (return value) has been removed. All the parameters will be incorrectly initialized by applications.

Problems with Symbols, Medium Severity (1)

	Change	Effect
1	The pointer level of 1st parameter list has been decreased from 2 to 1.	The library function will treat the parameter as the lower-dimension array and will not read all elements. This may change the behavior of applications. NOTE: if this is out-parameter then this change may cause a crash of applications.

Problems with Constants (4)

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant LAL_VCS_ID has been changed from "34d73389ee7baffbf076311d443fd8a02daea76a" to "711028f35c53197b1241956fdbba9a43113b8dc0".	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.
