Problems with Constants (1)

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant PED_PARTITION_LAST_FLAG has been changed from PED_PARTITION_MSFT_RESERVED to PED_PARTITION_BIOS_GRUB.	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.
