Announcing GNU parted-1.8.7. 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: - Prevent compilation of DASD code on GNU Hurd systems. - Integrate new unit testing framework for parted and libparted. - Fix primary partition cylinder alignment error for DOS disk labels. - Use PED_PARTITION_NORMAL in place of PED_PARTITION_PRIMARY. - Avoid segfault due to a double free on reiserfs support. parted: - Fix script mode (-s) for mkfs command in parted. - Suppress "you are not superuser..." warning in script mode. - Fix off-by-one bug in parted when displaying information about the disk. - Do not translate partition names in the 'parted print' command. This causes problems for non-Latin-based character sets. - Send errors to stderr rather than stdout. - Handle command line options independent of the order. - Abort on any invalid option and handle -v and -h first. - Only display the update /etc/fstab message when there has been a change to the disk (a shorter and more direct message too). You can download GNU parted 1.8.7 from ftp.gnu.org in the /gnu/parted directory. Archives are available as tar+gzip or tar+bz2 files. ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/parted-1.8.7.tar.gz ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/parted-1.8.7.tar.bz2 The SHA-1 digest of the archives are available in <filename>.sha1 files in the same directory.
