Problems with Symbols, High Severity (2)

	Change	Effect
1	5th middle parameter nearest_points has been removed from the calling stack.	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	The pointer level of 4th parameter buffer has been increased from 1 to 2.	The library function may try to access unallocated memory by the dereferencing of old parameter value and therefore cause a crash of applications.

Problems with Symbols, Medium Severity (1)

	Change	Effect
1	The pointer level of return value has been decreased from 1 to 0.	Applications may try to access unallocated memory by the dereferencing of new return value and therefore cause a crash.

Problems with Data Types, Low Severity (12)

	Change	Effect

Possible incorrect initialization of parameters by applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Field ttype 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 184 bytes to 188 bytes.	The fields or parameters of such data type may be incorrectly initialized or accessed by old client applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Field derot 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	Field droemer 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.
3	Field dshapiro 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.
4	Field erot 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.
5	Field roemer 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.
6	Field shapiro 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.
7	Size of this type has been changed from 72 bytes to 120 bytes.	The fields or parameters of such data type may be incorrectly initialized or accessed by old client applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Field etype 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 40 bytes to 44 bytes.	The fields or parameters of such data type may be incorrectly initialized or accessed by old client applications.

Problems with Symbols, Low Severity (3)

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

	Change	Effect
1	Type of return value has been changed from gsl_vector* to int.	Replacement of return type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 4th parameter buffer has been changed from BarycenterBuffer* to BarycenterBuffer**.	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 "ef41578736fd6b181dcf6157f632a2fd88f099b5" to "6373bfb922f5e31768c47af4cb901b7d745f7957".	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 "$" "LALId: ef41578736fd6b181dcf6157f632a2fd88f099b5 " "$" to "$" "LALId: 6373bfb922f5e31768c47af4cb901b7d745f7957 " "$".	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 "$" "LALTag: lal-v6.8.0 " "$" to "$" "LALTag: lal-v6.9.0 " "$".	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-v6.8.0" to "lal-v6.9.0".	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.
