Problems with Symbols, Low Severity (1)

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 1st parameter type has been changed from PedDiskType* to PedDiskType const*.	Replacement of parameter data type may indicate a change in its semantic meaning.

Problems with Constants (1)

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