Problems with Data Types, Low Severity (2)

	Change	Effect
1	Field llval has been added to this type.	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 bval has been removed from this union.	Applications may access incorrect memory when attempting to access this field.

Problems with Constants (5)

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant CONFIG_TYPE_ARRAY has been changed from 6 to 7.	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 CONFIG_TYPE_BOOL has been changed from 5 to 6.	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 CONFIG_TYPE_FLOAT has been changed from 3 to 4.	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 CONFIG_TYPE_LIST has been changed from 7 to 8.	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 CONFIG_TYPE_STRING has been changed from 4 to 5.	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.
