==================== 0.4.2 (2009-02-05) ==================== NOTES This big news for this GParted release is support for ext4 file systems, and the addition of an application help manual. Key changes include: - Added support for ext4 file system - Support for ext4 is built into version 2.6.28 of the Linux kernel - e2fsprogs version 1.41.0 or higher required - Created application help manual - Updated gparted manual page - Made text beside field labels selectable (i.e., copy/paste UUID) - Added lvm2 physical volume detection - Reduced file system information disk reads to improve performance - Fixed application crash when saving details and locale not set - Enhanced copy/paste checks when MBR/EBR involved BUG FIXES * Added additional category to desktop file (#568937) * Created application help manual (#329584) * Reworded caution message when applying operations (#564952) * Recognized linux-swap(new)/(old) as linux-swap (#419515) * Improved text for libparted not found error message (#565682) * Added support for ext4 file system (#503112) * Removed doubled space in front of fdl license link (#556114) * Added lvm2 physical volume detection (small part of #160787) TRANSLATIONS (new/updated) * ca(David Planella), cs(Adrian Gunis), de(Mario Blättermann), el(Evgenia Petoumenou), es(Jorge Gonzalez), fr(Claude Paroz), it(Milo Casagrande), pl(Tomasz Dominikowski), pt_BR(Fábio Nogueira, Fabrício Godoy, Leonardo Gregianin, Leonardo Ferreira Fontenelle, Djavan Fagundes), sk(Pavol Klačanský), sv(Daniel Nylander), th(Pongpichit Panna, Theppitak Karoonboonyanan) DEPENDENCIES (new/updated) * e2fsprogs v1.41.0 or higher required for ext4 file system support ==================== 0.4.1 (2008-11-29) ==================== NOTES This release of GParted rolls back /dev/mapper/* detection. The problem was that all /dev/mapper/* entries were added to the device list including LVM partitions. This was confusing behaviour to GParted users, and in my opinion it was better to roll back this change. A work-around for /dev/mapper/* device detection is available by passing the device names to gparted on the command line. E.g., gparted /dev/mapper/device-name Thanks to François Dupoux for identifying this problem early, and working towards a resolution. BUG FIXES * Reopened bug - no longer sees /dev/mapper/* devices (#556114) TRANSLATIONS (new/updated) * no change. DEPENDENCIES (new/updated) * no change. ==================== 0.4.0 (2008-11-28) ==================== NOTES This release of GParted includes some new features in addition to bug fixes, and language translation updates.
