Add the ability to set a new random UUID on file systems that provide
the appropriate tools to perform this action.
Update the help manual to include this new functionality. Also add
reference links to "setting a partition label" and "changing a
partition UUID" in the "copying and pasting a partition" section.
This patch does not include setting the UUID on an NTFS file system.
Bug #667278 - Add support for setting UUID
Bug #608308 - fix documentation - Copying and Pasting a Partition
Requires libparted 2.4 or higher, or blkid from utils-linux 2.20 or
higher for nilfs2 file system detection.
Requires nilfs-utils for nilfs2 file system support.
Closes Bug #642842 - nilfs is not detected
This reason for refactoring is to simplify the large GParted_Core
class, to help minimize disk reads, and to group the logic for
processing the file /proc/partitions into a single logical class.
This adds initial handlers for Btrfs; only .create, .check and
.read_label are done for now, via external btrfs-tools.
Other methods are still only stubs.
Auto detection of Linux software RAID devices was lost in GParted
0.3.8. This was because device scanning by the libparted device
call ped_device_probe_all() was replaced with custom code within
GParted to scan /proc/partitions for devices.
The reason the libparted call was replaced was due to a long
scanning problem with ped_device_probe_all(), a non-existent
physical floppy device, and a BIOS setting indicating a floppy
drive existed. See bug #351753:

functionality was already there, but it was not possible yet to
activate it from the gui.

src/Win_GParted.cc: removed the frame from the visualdiskwidget and
changed some visual details. Also changed visual representation of
selected partition. The latter might be considered as a work in
progress.

our own AboutDialog. Also use Gtk::Stock items instead of hardcoded
paths to images (about and harddisk).
* removed INSTALL
