Problems with Symbols, High Severity (2)

	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 cfgdata 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 Symbols, Low Severity (1)

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 1st parameter cfgdata has been changed from LALParsedDataFile** to LALParsedDataFile*.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

Problems with Constants (4)

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant LAL_VCS_ID has been changed from "5de7951cb4c0d9ab4c6a9c4b8f36e16d2cc2b4ed" to "cba4e9f38c56cba4d07a365bfc7a20fa6a7607e3".	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 "$" "LALId: 5de7951cb4c0d9ab4c6a9c4b8f36e16d2cc2b4ed " "$" to "$" "LALId: cba4e9f38c56cba4d07a365bfc7a20fa6a7607e3 " "$".	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 "$" "LALTag: lal-v6.7.1 " "$" to "$" "LALTag: lal-v6.7.2 " "$".	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.
