Announcing GNU parted-1.8.3. Many thanks to everyone who helped make this release possible!
This release continues our plan with the 1.8.x branch as only minor feature improvements and bug fixes are present. A summary of the changes in this release: libparted: * Header file clean ups. * Sync the linux-swap header according to the Linux kernel sources. * Enable support for swsusp partitions and the ability to differentiate between old and new versions of linux-swap partitions. * Renaming PARTITION_EXT to PARTITION_DOS_EXT in the DOS disklabel code (consitency with Linux kernel source). * Added libparted.pc pkg-config file. * Remove unused functions, ifdefs, and other code. * Deprecate ped_[register|unregister]_disk_type in favor of ped_disk_type_[register|unregister]. * Small test program fixes (in label.c and common.c). * Make functions const-correct. * Handle systems where libreadline is not available. * Preserve starting sector for primary NTFS 3.1 partitions on DOS disklabel. * Handle 2048-byte logical sectors in linux_read(). * Use PED_SECTOR_SIZE_DEFAULT macro in place of 512. * Don't assume logical sector size is <= 512B on AIX. * Detect HFS write failure. * Use mkstemp() in place of mktemp(). * Added HFS+ resize support. * Don't build DASD support on non-zSeries hardware. parted/partprobe: * Use fputs() and putchar() in place for printf(), when possible. * Detect/report stdout write errors. * Accept the --version and --help options. * Fix memory leaks in parted(8). general: * Synchronize the manual page and --help documentation. * GNU autoconf and automake updates. * 'gcc -Wall -Wshadow' warning cleanups. * Don't define _GNU_SOURCE manually. * Documentation updates and cleanups (AUTHORS, copyright notices, etc). * Use gnulib (http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/).
