Problems with Data Types, Medium Severity (1)

	Change	Effect
1	Field parent_object has been added at the middle position of this structural type.	1) Size of the inclusive type has been changed. 2) Layout of structure fields has been changed and therefore fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be incorrectly accessed by applications.

indicator-object.h
[+] struct _IndicatorObjectEntry (1)

Problems with Symbols, Medium Severity (1)

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 2nd parameter env has been changed from GStrv const to GStrv (became non-const).	This function may change parameter env, but it will be treated as const by old client applications. This may result in crash or incorrect behavior of applications.

indicator-object.h, libindicator3.so.6.0.0
[+] indicator_object_set_environment ( IndicatorObject* io, GStrv const env ) (1)

to the top

Problems with Data Types, Low Severity (1)

	Change	Effect
1	Size of this type has been changed from 36 bytes to 40 bytes.	The fields or parameters of such data type may be incorrectly initialized or accessed by old client applications.

indicator-object.h
[+] struct _IndicatorObjectEntry (1)

to the top

Problems with Symbols, Low Severity (3)

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

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