Problems with Data Types, Medium Severity (7)

	Change	Effect
1	Field env_list 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.
2	Field group_final 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.
3	Field mode_final 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.
4	Field name_set 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.
5	Field owner_final 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.
6	Field run_final 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.
7	Field symlink_final 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 (1)

	Change	Effect
1	Parameter sysfs_device of type struct sysfs_device* has been added to the calling stack.	This parameter will not be initialized by old clients.

Problems with Data Types, Low Severity (1)

	Change	Effect
1	Size of this type has been changed from 2292 bytes to 2324 bytes.	The fields or parameters of such data type may be incorrectly initialized or accessed by old client applications.

Problems with Constants, Low Severity (11)

	Change	Effect
1	The constant DEVD_SUFFIX with value ".dev" has been removed.	The value of this constant may no longer be properly handled by new-version library functions.

	Change	Effect
1	The constant HOTPLUG_SUFFIX with value ".hotplug" has been removed.	The value of this constant may no longer be properly handled by new-version library functions.

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant WAIT_MAX_SECONDS has been changed from 5 to 3.	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 constant EVENT_INIT_TIMEOUT_SEC with value 2 has been removed.	The value of this constant may no longer be properly handled by new-version library functions.

	Change	Effect
1	The constant EVENT_TIMEOUT_SEC with value 10 has been removed.	The value of this constant may no longer be properly handled by new-version library functions.

	Change	Effect
1	The constant HOTPLUG_BUFFER_SIZE with value 1024 has been removed.	The value of this constant may no longer be properly handled by new-version library functions.

	Change	Effect
1	The constant HOTPLUG_NUM_ENVP with value 32 has been removed.	The value of this constant may no longer be properly handled by new-version library functions.

	Change	Effect
1	The constant INIT_TIME_SEC with value 5 has been removed.	The value of this constant may no longer be properly handled by new-version library functions.

	Change	Effect
1	The constant SEND_WAIT_LOOP_PER_SECOND with value 10 has been removed.	The value of this constant may no longer be properly handled by new-version library functions.

	Change	Effect
1	The constant SEND_WAIT_MAX_SECONDS with value 3 has been removed.	The value of this constant may no longer be properly handled by new-version library functions.

	Change	Effect
1	The constant THROTTLE_MAX_RUNNING_CHILDS with value 10 has been removed.	The value of this constant may no longer be properly handled by new-version library functions.
