I see order.tag = "tfc". Is this a new/permanent change?

I see the webHook for `OnOrderUpdate` is now receiving order.tag = "tfc", perhaps for orders placed not using the API.
Previously order.tag was `null`.

I ask:
Is this a new/permanent behaviour?
Is there other enums used? What do they mean?

I comment: Why make breaking changes without informing the users?

If you send a tag you will see a value or else you will get null. This has been like this.

Previously:
- Place an order via kite desktop (not API), OnOrderUpdate receives the update & tag was `null`

Now:
- Place an order via kite desktop (not API), OnOrderUpdate receives the update & tag = `"tfc"`

Place an order via kite desktop (not API), OnOrderUpdate receives the update & tag = `"tfc"`

We just placed a couple of different types of orders from the Kite web and check Postback data. , 'tag': None, is still showing None i.e NULL for all KiteWeb placed Order.

I had the implementation something like:

        if(order.tag == null)
            printErr("TAG MISSING FROM KITE_ORDER!!"+"\nKO_ID:"+order.orderId);
        else 
            int id = Integer.parseInt(order.tag);

This started breaking and I added a scrappy check if(order.tag == null || order.tag.equals("tfc")) to handle it.

I can add logs to see if this happens again. Would be good to be certain of the behaviour.
