This is to announce parted-1.9.0, a release we're calling "stable", because we think it's solid enough for general use.
For a summary of changes and contributors, see: http://git.debian.org/?p=parted/parted.git;a=shortlog Thanks to all people who have been testing pre-release, reporting bugs, contributing code, suggesting enhancements, and answering user questions on the mailing lists! --------- Here are the compressed sources: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/parted-1.9.0.tar.gz (2.6MB) ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/parted-1.9.0.tar.xz (1.2MB) Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/parted-1.9.0.tar.gz.sig ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/parted-1.9.0.tar.xz.sig [*] You can use either of the above signature files 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-1.9.0.tar.gz.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 B9AB9A16 and rerun the `gpg --verify' command. This release was bootstrapped with the following tools: Autoconf 2.63 Automake 1.11 Gnulib v0.0-2287-gfeb2268 NEWS * Noteworthy changes in release 1.9.0 (2009-07-23) [stable] ** Bug fixes parted now preserves the protective MBR (PMBR) in GPT type labels. http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/2008-December/\ 002473.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2008-12/msg00015.html gpt_read now uses SizeOfPartitionEntry instead of the size of GuidPartitionEntry_t. This ensures that *all* of the partition entries are correctly read. http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/2008-December/\ 002465.html http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/attachments/\ 20081202/b7c0528d/attachment.txt mklabel (interactive mode) now correctly asks for confirmation, when replacing an existent label, without outputting an error message. http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/2009-January/\ 002739.html resize now handles FAT16 file systems with a 64k cluster. This configuration is not common, but it is possible. http://parted.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/ticket/207 parted now ignores devices of the type /dev/md* when probing. These types of devices should be handled by the device-mapper capabilities of parted. http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/2009-April/\ 002781.html The parted documentation now describes the differences in the options passed to mkpart for the label types. http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/2009-April/\ 002782.html ** Changes in behavior include/parted/beos.h, include/parted/gnu.h and include/parted/linux.h have been removed. The symbols contained in these files (GNUSpecific, ped_device_new_from_store, BEOSSpecific, LinuxSpecific, LINUX_SPECIFIC) were moved to the individual files that need them. In libparted, the linux-swap "filesystem" types are now called "linux-swap(v0)" and "linux-swap(v1)" rather than "linux-swap(old)" and "linux-swap(new)" as in parted 1.8, or "linux-swap" as in older versions; "old" and "new" generally make poor names, and v1 is the only format supported by current Linux kernels. Aliases for all previous names are available. Regards. -- Joel Andres Granados Brno, Czech Republic, Red Hat.
