Composer 9.72-Makes Hidden Partitions Visible

When launching Composer 9.72, all of my hidden partitions (Recovery HD, etc) become visible on my desktop. Once I quit Composer, they are hidden again. Tested on 10.10.3 and 10.9.5. Can anybody confirm this is happening to them as well? Here is the log:

Does not happen on my machine (10.9.5) or a test machine (10.10.3)

Just checked and yes, I'm seeing it too.

Thanks to your avatar I'm going to now open a Samuel Smith's.

It's by design. It because you can now create recovery partition dmgs from composer so it mounts it so you have that option.

Thanks @pblake. I vaguely recall reading that in the release notes but not strongly enough to prevent my boneheaded post.
