+GParted 0.15.0  (2013-03-19)
+============================
+
+Release Notes
+-------------
+  The big news with this release is the ability to track live updates
+  of command execution progress.  This should help with determining
+  the status of long running commands by enabling users to see the
+  live command output in the details section of the apply operations
+  window.  This new ability is implemented by a fundamental code
+  change that spawns commands to run asynchronously.  Also included in
+  this release are bug fixes and language translation updates.
+
+### Key changes include:
+
+  * Live tracking of command progress output in the details log
+  * Move operations are twice as fast as prior versions
+  * Proper cancel support added
+  * Volume label length now based on file system type
+  * Unallocated space is selected by default
+  * New key bindings added:
+    - Insert     --> New Partition
+    - Ctrl+Enter --> Apply All Operations
+
+Bug Fixes

+  * Refactor to use asynchronous command execution (#685740) which includes:

+    - Increase width of details log display to include status icons (#662722)
+    - Select unallocated space by default (#667365)
+  * Make partition label length dependent on the file system type (#689318)
+  * Avoid reading trailing junk for a reiser4 label
+  * Improve argument vector usage (#689689)
+  * Prevent crash when using an unknown locale (#692049)
