Here it is, the much anticipated, long awaited, parted release for 2019! This is currently alpha, I'd appreciate it if distribution users could give it a thorough testing and give me some feedback. I'll be releasing this in Fedora Rawhide this afternoon.
Note that the NEWS file is not completely updated. There are just too many commits since the last release. Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/parted-3.2.153.tar.xz http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/parted-3.2.153.tar.xz.sig Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: https://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify parted-3.2.153.tar.xz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 117E8C168EFE3A7F and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command. This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.69 Automake 1.16.1 Gettext 0.19.8.1 Gnulib v0.1-2799-g6430babe4 Gperf 3.1 NEWS * Noteworthy changes in release 3.2.153 (2019-08-12) [alpha] Parted now recognizes NVMe devices, NVDIMM, and RAM drives. ** Bug Fixes Fix atari disklabel false positives by probing other labels first. Fix resizepart to adjust the end to be -1 sector when using iec power of 2 units so that the next partition can start immediately following the new end, just like mkpart does. Fix set and disk_set to not crash when there are no flags to set. Fix a udev cookie leak when using resizepart on device-mapper devices. Fix a gettext crash/error sometimes when using localized languages. Fix fat resize to preverve boot code, and thus not render the filesystem unreconized by Windows. Fix rescue command: the rescue command often failed to find filesystems due to leaving on cylinder alignment. libparted-fs-resize: Prevent crash resizing FAT file systems with very deep directories with path names over 512 bytes long. Use 512b sector size when communicating with device-mapper. Fixes problems with partitions being created too small on dm devices with sector sizes > 5121b Don't crash in the disk_set command when a disk label is not found libparted-fs-resize: Prevent crash resizing FAT16 file systems. libparted-fs-resize: Prevent crash resizing FAT16 file systems. If the user specifies start/end of the partition as cylinders and a cylinder has a size which is power of 2, then such address does not trigger exact placement. mkpart: Allow negative start value when FS-TYPE is not given -- Brian C.
