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:
- Remove move read-only simulation pass (#696013)
- Remove temporary mtoolsrc file used in fat16/32 labelling and UUID
- Cleanup duplicate code for common file system methods
- Combine duplicate code for ext2/ext3/ext4
- Check file system after reverting partition table when move canceled
- Add proper cancel support for current and pending operations (#601239)
- Fix interrupting a format leaves partition in-use (#403487)
- Fix details log does not expand to the available vertical space (#602635)
- 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)
* Work around faulty "complete disks" detection in mkdosfs (#693955)
* Fix move primary partition right to left shrinks partition 1 MiB (#695078)

GParted 0.9.0 (2011-07-18)
============================
Release Notes
-------------
The most significant change in this release is the ability to
compile and link with libparted 3.0.
GParted retains full functionality when compiled and linked with
libparted versions prior to 3.0, for example libparted-2.4.
Because Parted 3.0 removed some file system specific functionality,
the following abilities are lost or changed when GParted is compiled
and linked with libparted 3.0:
* Unable to grow and shrink FAT16 and FAT32 file systems
* Unable to shrink HFS and HFS+ file systems
* Unable to determine used and unused sectors in HFS and HFS+ file
systems
* Unable to erase file system signatures on partition create and
format
* FAT16 and FAT32 file system moves performed internally by
GParted instead of by libparted
### Other key changes include:
* Fix size off by one sector with unrecognized disk label
* Fix GParted crashes with assertion (head_size <= 63)
- Requires libparted-2.4 or higher
Bug Fixes
---------
* Enable compile and link with libparted 3.0 (#651559)
* Fix size off by one sector with unrecognized disk label (#649444)
* Fix GParted crashes with assertion (head_size <= 63)
- Requires libparted-2.4 or higher
- Ubuntu launchpad #545911
* Fix typo "on on " -> "on" (#650793)
- Thanks go to Gabor Kelemen for this small patch

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.
