Problems with Data Types, Medium Severity (5)

	Change	Effect
1	Size of field u has been changed from 20 bytes to 24 bytes.	1) Size of the inclusive type has changed. 2) Previous accesses of applications and library functions to this field and fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be broken.

	Change	Effect
1	Field icons 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.

	Change	Effect
1	Size of field list has been changed from 20 bytes to 24 bytes.	1) Size of the inclusive type has changed. 2) Previous accesses of applications and library functions to this field and fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be broken.

	Change	Effect
1	Value of member PURPLE_NUM_SOUNDS has been changed from 11 to 12.	Applications may execute a wrong branch of code in the library and therefore change the behavior.

	Change	Effect
1	Value of member PURPLE_STATUS_NUM_PRIMITIVES has been changed from 9 to 10.	Applications may execute a wrong branch of code in the library and therefore change the behavior.
