Problems with Data Types, Medium Severity (1)

	Change	Effect
1	Field rootURL 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.

Problems with Symbols, Medium Severity (8)

	Change	Effect
1	Type of return value became const (has been changed from char* to char const*).	The return value will be treated as non-const by old client applications. This may result in crash or incorrect behavior of applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of return value became const (has been changed from char* to char const*).	The return value will be treated as non-const by old client applications. This may result in crash or incorrect behavior of applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of return value became const (has been changed from char const* to char const*const).	The return value will be treated as non-const by old client applications. This may result in crash or incorrect behavior of applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of return value became const (has been changed from char* to char const*).	The return value will be treated as non-const by old client applications. This may result in crash or incorrect behavior of applications.

	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.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of return value became const (has been changed from char const* to char const*const).	The return value will be treated as non-const by old client applications. This may result in crash or incorrect behavior of applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of return value became const (has been changed from char const* to char const*const).	The return value will be treated as non-const by old client applications. This may result in crash or incorrect behavior of applications.

	Change	Effect
1	The pointer level of 2nd parameter u 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.

1	Base type has been changed from _FD* to _FD_s*.	Possible incorrect initialization of parameters by applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Field str1 became const.	The value of this field expected to be const in new library version, but can be modified by old applications.
2	Type of field str1 has been changed from char* to char const*.	Replacement of the field data type may indicate a change in the semantic meaning of the field.

	Change	Effect
1	Field file has been renamed to fd.	Renaming of a field in data type may indicate a change in the semantic meaning of the field.

	Change	Effect
1	Field fileFile became const.	The value of this field expected to be const in new library version, but can be modified by old applications.
2	Type of field fileFile has been changed from char* to char const*.	Replacement of the field data type may indicate a change in the semantic meaning of the field.

	Change	Effect
1	Size of this type has been changed from 8316 bytes to 8320 bytes.	The fields or parameters of such data type may be incorrectly initialized or accessed by old client applications.
2	Field buildArchitectures became const.	The value of this field expected to be const in new library version, but can be modified by old applications.
3	Type of field buildArchitectures has been changed from char to char const.	Replacement of the field data type may indicate a change in the semantic meaning of the field.
4	Field buildRoot has been renamed to buildRootURL.	Renaming of a field in data type may indicate a change in the semantic meaning of the field.
5	Field gotBuildRoot has been renamed to gotBuildRootURL.	Renaming of a field in data type may indicate a change in the semantic meaning of the field.
