Announcing GNU parted-1.8.2. Many thanks to everyone who helped make
this release possible!
This release continues our plan with the 1.8.x branch as only minor
feature improvements and bug fixes are present. A summary of the
changes in this release:
libparted:
* Add the ped_device_cache_remove() function to remove a device from the
cache. This is necessary for some things that use libparted,
including pyparted.
* Fix a segfault in ped_assert() where the wrong pointer is freed in the
backtrace handler.
* Only call _disk_warn_loss(disk) in do_mklabel() if disk is not NULL.
Fixes a segfault when initializing new volumes.
* Dynamically allocate space for exception messages.
* Output a backtrace when catching SEGV_MAPPER or a general SIGSEGV.
parted:
* Destroy all objects before return when called with --list or
--all option.
* Zero sized device is shown as 0.00B and not -0.00kB.
* Implement 'print devices' command.
* Alias 'print list' to 'print all'.
* Alias 'mktable' to 'mklabel'.
misc:
* Other bug fixes, documentation updates, and translation improvements.
* Code and API clean-ups.
