The original post on this subject on the Community forum also identified that the interface to WinApi.Polygon was also changed in a way that broke backward compatibility.

As far as I see the situation is different in WinApi.Polygon. Here, the change serves to align
the BB definition with the Microsoft definition, where it is defined that there is an array of POINT and not a single POINT.
There are multiple changes of this kind.

The change in 'RegisterHotKey' is may be another case for discussion.
It now uses SET instead of INTEGER.

We have kept this change (WinApi.Polygon) even though we knew it broke back compatibility. Did we do this deliberately, or accidently? I can't remember if we clearly decided that this change was a good idea.

It may have advantages, but it also causes problems.

It was changed deliberately.
Incompatibilities are detected by the compiler.
Fixes in client modules are trivial and simplify the code.
