Problems with Symbols, High Severity 1

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 2nd parameter methods has been changed from uint16_t (2 bytes) to uint32_t (4 bytes).	Layout of parameter's stack has been changed and therefore parameters at higher positions in the stack may be incorrectly initialized by applications.

Problems with Data Types, Medium Severity 11

	Change	Effect
1	Field max_read 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 ev_read has been changed from 128 bytes to 120 bytes.	Previous accesses of applications and library functions to this field may be broken.
2	Size of field ev_write has been changed from 128 bytes to 120 bytes.	1) Size of the inclusive type has been 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	Size of field sig has been changed from 160 bytes to 672 bytes.	1) Size of the inclusive type has been changed. 2) Previous accesses of applications and library functions to this field and fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be broken.
2	Size of field th_notify has been changed from 128 bytes to 120 bytes.	1) Size of the inclusive type has been changed. 2) Previous accesses of applications and library functions to this field and fields at higher positions of the structure definition may be broken.
3	Size of field timeheap has been changed from 16 bytes to 24 bytes.	1) Size of the inclusive type has been 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	The relative position of field ev_ has been changed from 4 to 6.	1) Applications will access incorrect memory when attempting to access this field. 2) Size of the inclusive type has been changed.
2	The relative position of field ev_base has been changed from 3 to 5.	1) Applications will access incorrect memory when attempting to access this field. 2) Size of the inclusive type has been changed.
3	The relative position of field ev_events has been changed from 5 to 3.	1) Applications will access incorrect memory when attempting to access this field. 2) Size of the inclusive type has been changed.
4	The relative position of field ev_res has been changed from 6 to 4.	1) Applications will access incorrect memory when attempting to access this field. 2) Size of the inclusive type has been changed.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of field min_heap_idx has been changed from int (4 bytes) to size_t (8 bytes).	This field may be incorrectly initialized or accessed by applications.

Problems with Data Types, Low Severity 5

	Change	Effect
1	Size of this type has been changed from 136 bytes to 144 bytes.	The fields or parameters of such data type may be incorrectly initialized or accessed by old client applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Size of this type has been changed from 392 bytes to 376 bytes.	The fields or parameters of such data type may be incorrectly initialized or accessed by old client applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Field watchers has been added to this type.	1) This field will not be initialized by old clients. 2) Size of the inclusive type has been changed. NOTE: this field should be accessed only from the new library functions, otherwise it may result in crash or incorrect behavior of applications.
2	Size of this type has been changed from 664 bytes to 1208 bytes.	The fields or parameters of such data type may be incorrectly initialized or accessed by old client applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Size of this type has been changed from 128 bytes to 120 bytes.	The fields or parameters of such data type may be incorrectly initialized or accessed by old client applications.

Problems with Symbols, Low Severity 4

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 5th parameter port has been changed from uint16_t to unsigned short.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 2nd parameter address has been changed from char to char const.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

	Change	Effect
1	2nd parameter timeout_in_secs has been renamed to timeout.	Renaming of a parameter may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.
