============================
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
* Improve English grammar: amount -> number (#650237)

This is an important bug fix release for two critical bugs
found in GParted. Also included are some language translation
updates.
Key changes include:
- Fix crash moving partition when size is a multiple of 16 MiB
- Disable MiB alignment temporarily until bug #623630 can be fixed.
Bug #623630 is a problem where moving logical partitions using

Record of another logical partition. This causes an invalid
partition table with a wrong signature.

====================
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)
