GParted 1.0.0 (2019-05-29)
============================
Release Notes
-------------
This release of GParted includes a significant undertaking to
migrate the code base from gtkmm2 to gtkmm3 (our GTK3 port). Thanks
go to Luca Bacci and Mike Fleetwood for making this happen.
With this major change we bump up the major version number. This
1.0.0 release is not meant to indicate that GParted is more stable
or less stable than before. Instead it means that GParted now
requires gtkmm3 instead of gtkmm2. Note that several other
dependencies have changed as well.
As with our other releases, this one also includes several
enhancements, bug fixes and language translation updates.
### Key changes include:
* Port to Gtkmm 3

GParted 0.30.0 (2017-10-10)
============================
Release Notes
-------------
This release of GParted includes an interim fix to enable running
GParted as root under Wayland in addition to other bug fixes and
language translation updates.
ATTENTION PACKAGERS:
The installation location of the gparted script has changed and
package scripts calling pkexec can be dropped.
This release provides an interim workaround to allow GParted to run
under Wayland by using xhost to grant and revoke root access to the
X11 display. This must be enabled while building the software with:
./configure --enable-xhost-root
Pkexec from polkit has been made the first choice graphical SU
program as all the desktops have settled on using polkit as the
privileged access mechanism. See "Installing polkit's Action File"
section in the README file for when an additional installation step
may be needed.
Also changed is that execution of the graphical SU program has been
moved from gparted.desktop to the gparted shell wrapper. Therefore
gparted can be run either by an unprivileged user or by root and as
such is installed in $prefix/bin rather than $prefix/sbin. This
additionally means distributions can drop their pkexec scripts used
to launch gparted.
### Key changes include:
* Interim fix for GParted fails to run as root under Wayland
* Fix reading Unicode labels when no FS specific tools available
* Safely quote and escape external programs arguments
Bug Fixes
---------
* Interim fix for GParted fails to run as root under Wayland (#776437)
* Fix message failed to execute "mkudffs" when not installed (#786050)
* Fix reading Unicode labels when no FS specific tools available (#786502)

GParted 0.28.0 (2017-02-14)
============================
Release Notes
-------------
This release adds partial read-write support for LUKS encrypted file
systems. GParted can't create, open or close LUKS encryption
volumes; however it can copy, resize and manipulate file systems
inside open LUKS volumes and move closed LUKS volumes. (Resizing
requires Linux kernel >= 3.6 and libparted >= 3.2 for online
partition resizing).
Also included are bug fixes and language translation updates.
REMINDER:
You are strongly advised to backup you data before editing
partitions as a failure can lead to data loss. This is especially
true for encrypted data where all of the data can become permanently
inaccessible after a failure. Please refer to the Cryptsetup FAQ [1]
for backup and recovery advice of encrypted data.

### Key changes include:
* Implement LUKS read-write actions NOT requiring a passphrase
* Add detection of iso9660 file system
Bug Fixes
---------
* Implement LUKS read-write actions NOT requiring a passphrase (#774818)
* Fix mount column shown for non-mounted encrypted file systems (#775475)

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)

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)

0.6.0 (2010-06-18)
====================
NOTES
The GParted team is proud to announce this release brings
support for devices with sector sizes greater than 512 bytes.
For the last three decades, 512 byte sector sizes have been

translation updates.
Key changes include:
- Add support for devices with sector sizes > 512 bytes
- Add alignment option to align to MiB
- Set _default_ alignment to align to MiB
Known issues:
When used with libparted versions 2.3 and lower on devices with
sector sizes > 512 bytes:
- hfs/hfs+: used/unused space not detected
- hfs/hfs+: shrink file system not available

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)
