[parted-1.6.25.1-1]
- 2005-10-28 Leslie Polzer
- corrects API and BINARY age.

[parted-1.6.25-1]
- 2005-10-28 Guillaume Knispel
- libparted/fs_hfs/journal.c, libparted/fs_hfs/hfs.c: fix some exception
messages.
- libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_format_custom): remove unused variable \"result\".
- 2005-10-25 Guillaume Knispel
- libparted/disk_mac.c (_disk_add_part_map_entry): the function didn\'t
work when mac_disk_data->last_part_entry_num was null (when the only
existing partition is the partition table and the user destroy it).
- 2005-10-24 Guillaume Knispel
- parted/parted.c (prefer_snap): incorrectly chose MOVE_STILL instead
of MOVE_UP or MOVE_DOWN if both weren\'t activated.
- 2005-10-15 Guillaume Knispel
- libparted/filesys.c (_probe_with_open): The file system was considered
valid if the open method was not implemented. Now openable file systems
are considered first (if one and only one is successfully opened,
return it), then if only one non openable file system is remaining,
return it (else return NULL).
- 2005-10-14 Guillaume Knispel
- libparted/disk_dos.c (_log_meta_overlap_constraint): ignore inactive
partitions.
- parted/parted.c (snap_to_boundaries): didn\'t reliably work since the
range is variable, complete rewrite.
- parted/parted.c (try_snap): was called by snap_to_boundaries, removed.
- parted/parted.c (prefer_snap): new function called by snap_to_boundaries,
detect if the sector should be snaped to the begining of the partition
it belongs to, or to the end.
- 2005-10-13 Guillaume Knispel
- libparted/disk_gpt.c (add_metadata_part): don\'t forget to free the
constraint if adding the metadata partition failed.
- 2005-10-04 Guillaume Knispel
- doc/parted.texi: Unit command description added, based on what
was previously in 2.2 Using GNU Parted (which has been replaced
by a reference to the unit command...). Also various fixes in
AATTcopying layout and some typos fixes.
- 2005-10-03 Otavio Salvador
- po/es.po: updated
- 2005-10-03 Guillaume Knispel
- Applied patch from Colin Watson :
- libparted/linux.c (_device_get_part_path): check for devfs-style /disc
without even testing if _have_devfs(), because udev can be used instead
with the same behavior.
- 2005-10-02 Guillaume Knispel
- Applied patch from Matt Zimmerman :
- include/parted/device.h: PED_DEVICE_UBD added in PedDeviceType.
- libparted/linux.c (_device_probe_type): recognize UML UBD devices.
- libparted/linux.c (linux_new): handle UML UBD devices.
- 2005-09-21 Guillaume Knispel
- po/id.po: added (thanks to Arif E. Nugroho )
- po/es.po: updated
- doc/parted.8: updates from A. Costa
- Applied patch from Otavio Salvador :
- libparted/disk_dos.c (probe_partition_for_geom): Fix compiler warnings
while compiling with gcc 4.0.
- libparted/disk_sun.c (sun_read): bugfix - recognize partitions on sun
disklabel.
- 2005-08-22 Guillaume Knispel
- libparted/disk_dos.c (_align_logical_no_geom): removed
_calc_min_logical_start() and use a true constraint instead, generated by
the new _log_meta_overlap_constraint(). This constraint should enforce
necessary gaps between logical partitions to fit the linked list of
partition tables. This should get ride of the infamous Assertion
(metadata_length > 0) failed bug for extended msdos disklabels generated
by Parted.
- libparted/disk_dos.c (_align_logical): also use
_log_meta_overlap_constraint() as mandatory.
- 2005-08-21 Guillaume Knispel
- libparted/unit.c (parse_chs, ped_unit_parse_custom): set
*range to NULL
and
*sector to 0 on failure.
- parted/ui.c (command_line_get_sector): set
*value to 0 on failure.
- parted/parted.c (do_mkpart, do_mkpartfs, do_move, do_resize): more memory
leak fixes (range_start, range_end).

- libparted/fs_hfs/Makefile.am: journal.c and journal.h added.
- libparted/fs_hfs/cache.h: new tags for journal info block (CR_BTREE_CAT_JIB)
and journal (CR_BTREE_CAT_JL)
- libparted/fs_hfs/hfs.h: journal structs (HfsJJournalInfoBlock,
HfsJJournalHeader, HfsJBlockInfo, HfsJBlockListHeader) described.
HFSJ_JOURN_IN_FS, HFSJ_JOURN_OTHER_DEV, HFSJ_JOURN_NEED_INIT,

added.
Fields dirty_alloc_map, allocation_file, jib_start_block, jl_start_block of
HfsPPrivateFSData added.
- libparted/fs_hfs/hfs.c (hfsplus_open): allocate dirty_alloc_map and open
allocation_file. Do not emit the warning exception about untested attributes
file anymore.
(hfsplus_close): free dirty_alloc_map and close allocation_file.
New HFSX descriptors hfsx_ops && hfsx_type.
(ped_file_system_hfs_init, ped_file_system_hfs_done): (un)register HFSX.
- libparted/fs_hfs/reloc.c (hfs_effect_move_extent): don\'t save the allocation
map anymore.
(hfs_move_extent_starting_at): save it here.
- libparted/fs_hfs/reloc_plus.c (hfsplus_do_move): handle journal and bitmap
reloc.

- 2005-07-10 Andrew Clausen
- libparted/disk.c (_partition_check, _partition_check_extended): replaced
a specific start<=end sanity check in _partition_check_extended with
a generic assertion in _partition_check.
- libparted/parted.c (_ped_abs, _solution_check_distant, _get_left_bound,
_get_right_bound, _grow_over_small_freespace): removed and replaced with
snap_to_boundaries() et al:
- libparted/parted.c (snap_to_boundaries, try_snap, snap): these functions
do similar things to the functions above that they replace, except that
they constrain themselves by the recently introduced unit-specific ranges
rather than \"small\" magic numbers. In addition, it will snap to an
existing partition boundary to avoid consuming slightly more free space.
(So, it could possibly shrink or grow)
- libparted/disk.c (ped_disk_add_partition, ped_disk_set_partition_geom):
these functions now deduce if a there are no constraint solutions because of
overlapping problems, and throws an appropriate exception. This means
that lots of \"Unable to satisfy constraints\" messages will be replaced
with \"Can\'t have overlapping partitions\" messages where appropriate.
- po/pl.po: updated.

- everything: more punctuation / grammatical fixes from Benno Schulenberg
.
- libparted/disk_dvh.c (_handle_no_volume_header): only give a lax
constraint on the new volume header. (Previously, if there wasn\'t

table with a metadata partition if the volume header (extended partition)
does not protect it already.
- libparted/disk_dvh.c (dvh_alloc_metadata): always protect the partition
table, but use a logical metadata partition if the volume header
includes the partition table.

- 2005-03-28 Andrew Clausen

- libparted/fs_fat/traverse.c (fat_dir_entry_is_active): One last unsigned
char vs. char compiler warning fix.
- libparted/device.c: Functions named things like read, write, and check
can be implemented as macros which will get expanded here and cause
problems. Surround the names with parentheses to prevent macro expansion.
- libparted/linux.c (_mount_table_search): Ignore sccanf result.
- libparted/fs_hfs/hfs.c, libparted/fs_hfs/reloc.c,

partition (patch from Paul Nasrat ).
- libparted/disk_sun.c: many changes, including:
- replaced hw_geom with bios_geom.

\"Apple_HFS\" if the filesystem is \"hfs+\" in addition to \"hfs\"
- debug/test/test_fs_hfs : new non-regression tests for hfs
- debug/test/test_fs_hfsplus : new non-regression tests for hfs+
- debug/test/test (ped_test_get_val): allow bash evaluation of $post_command
- doc/parted.texi (Supported File Systems): added resize operation for hfs
and hfs+, and a note stating they can only be made smaller.
- doc/parted.texi (Command explanation Resize): talk about hfs.

[parted-1.6.21-1]
- libparted/disk.c, doc/parted.texi : renamed prep-boot prep partition name to
prep.
- libparted/linux.c (linux_disk_commit): if the BLKPG method fails, try
the BLKRRPART method.
- libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_write): put in a unique identifier (which
is misleadingly called the \"MBR signature\" by Microsoft docs and
EFI specs). Based on a patch by Matt Domsch .
- include/parted/endian.h : fixed PED_SWAP macros missing (), since it broke
on 64bit hardware as shown in the PED_CPU_TO_BE32(part ? part_num : LINK_END)
code snipplet, which applied the uint32 cast to part, and not the value.
- libparted/disk_amiga.c, libparted/fs_amiga/amiga.c : Added some uint32 casts.
- libparted/disk_sun.c (sun_alloc, sun_read, sun_write): fixed
cylinder recording stuff. pcylcount is now 2 more, and ncyl is now
2 less than it was before.
- libparted/filesys.c (ped_file_system_clobber): removed a useless
(always-thrown) assertion for file system support for clobbering.
- libparted/gnu.c (gnu_new): Added three new variables ro_err, rw_err and
ispath. The ispath variables is set to 1 if path is indeed a path and not a
store type name. This prevents having to use strchr more then once. Added
a check for determining if the inputted path is a path and not a store-type
name. If (const char
*)path is a path then use store_open (). If (const
char
*)path is a store-type name use store_typed_open ().
- libparted/linux.c (_disk_sync_part_table): removed duplicate error message.
- libparted/linux.c (_device_get_part_path): only treat the device as
devfs if it has /disc on the end.
- libparted/linux.c (_partition_get_part_dev): added.
- libparted/linux.c (_partition_is_mounted_by_dev ): added.
- libparted/linux.c (_partition_is_mounted): now uses
_partition_is_mounted_by_dev(). This is more reliable than guessing
the partition\'s device name.
- libparted/linux.c (_device_probe_type): sets the type to
PED_DEVICE_UNKNOWN on block devices that don\'t fall into the
standard categories. This makes libparted correctly update
the kernel\'s view of partition tables, etc.
- libparted/disk_dos.c (probe_partition_for_geom): improved heuristic
for finding broken partition tables: test if any feasible solution
geometry exists against the end cylinder rather than 1024. This
heuristic now has fewer false negatives and no false positives.

[parted-1.6.20-1]
- libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_probe): look for SBML signature at offset 0x40,
rather than 0x39. (oops!)
- libparted/disk_amiga.c: added (from Sven Luther)
Note: I did some cleanups, added assertions, etc.
- libparted/fs_amiga/affs.c: added.
- libparted/fs_amiga/affs.h: added.
- libparted/fs_amiga/amiga.c: added.
- libparted/fs_amiga/amiga.h: added.
- libparted/fs_amiga/apfs.c: added.
- libparted/fs_amiga/apfs.h: added.
- libparted/fs_amiga/asfs.c: added.
- libparted/fs_amiga/asfs.h: added.
- libparted/fs_amiga/interface.c: added.
- libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_probe): Fixed typo changed strcmp to
strncmp.
- libparted/disk_dvh.c (_generate_boot_file): zero out the boot file name
record before writing the name in. Previously, there was a misplaced
null-terminator that caused gcc to complain.
- libparted/filesys.c (ped_file_system_resize, ped_file_system_copy):
only attempt to check file systems if checking is implemented for
that file system type.
- libparted/fs_fat/bootsector.c (fat_boot_sector_analyse): when correcting
the boot sector, use fat_boot_sector_write() to make sure the backup
copy gets written (if applicable).
- libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_probe): don\'t treat Smart Boot Manager Loader
boot blocks as FAT file systems.
- libparted/disk_dos.c: Added support for the prep-boot partition type.

Tue Nov 30 01:00:00 2004 Ryan Weaver
[parted-1.6.19-1]
- libparted/fs_fat/boot_sector.c (fat_boot_sector_analyse): if the
file system\'s CHS geometry is insane, then let the user fix it.
This is important, because Linux refuses to mount FAT file systems
with insane CHS geometry. Moreover, a few recent versions of Parted
wrote some insane values here, so this allows users to fix the damage.
- parted/ui.c (_construct_prompt): previously forget to assign \"prompt = ...\"
in a realloc_and_cat() call. Patch from Woody Suwalski
- libparted/linux.c (linux_new): get rid of pointless exception for
exotic block devices.
- configure.in, libparted/fs_reiserfs/reiserfs.c (reiserfs_fs_check):
applied patch by Yury to do a proper file system check.

Sat Nov 20 01:00:00 2004 Ryan Weaver
[parted-1.6.18-1]
- libparted/disk_dos.c (probe_partition_for_geom): don\'t attempt to infer
geometry from a partition whose end can\'t possibly be addressed with CHS
(regardless of the CHS geometry).
- libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_read): initialize bios_geom to the old value,
in case no better geometry can be found.

Sat Nov 20 01:00:00 2004 Ryan Weaver
[parted-1.6.17-1]
- libparted/fs_fat/resize.c (create_resize_context): copy CHS info across.
(Was previously uninitialized - bug)
- libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_partition_set_system): sun-ufs partitions
now have an ID of 0xbf.
- libparted/disk_dos.c (probe_partition_for_geom): rewrote with lots
more comments + mathematical paranoia.
- libparted/disk_dos.c (realloc_metadata, msdos_read): better solution...
just call msdos_read() again if the CHS geometry needs to be changed.
- libparted/disk_gpt.c (write_pmbr): if the partition is longer than
32-bits can fit, then write 0xffffffff as per GPT spec. Patch from
Matt Domsch .

[parted-1.6.16-1]
- libparted/disk_dos.c (realloc_metadata): stupid bug fix: reset the start/end
to be the same as what they were before.
- libparted/disk_dos.c (probe_partition_for_geom): ignore CHS geometry
if the start cylinder is greater than the end cylinder.
- libparted/fs_fat/bootsector.h: add another __attribute__ ((packed))
thingy to ensure the right alignment.
- parted/parted.c (do_print, _rescue_add_partition): removed bogus
(int) casts. (%f, what was I thinking?!)

Tue Sep 21 02:00:00 2004 Ryan Weaver
[parted-1.6.15-1]
- libparted/disk_dos.c: replaced magic number 1023 with MAX_CHS_CYLINDER,
and set this constant to >1021 rather than >=1023. Some partition tables
in the wild have 1022 as a \"partition-too-big-for-CHS\" indicator.
- libparted/gnu.c (_device_probe_geometry): Variable declaration had
wrong name.
- libparted/disk_dos.c (realloc_metadata, read_table): added an ugly hack to
force metadata to be reallocated according to the new BIOS geometry.
- libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_alloc_metadata): yet another overlapping case
I missed: the extended partition\'s partition table area needs to be
small enough to leave room for the logical partition (or logical partition
table) that follows it.
- libparted/linux.c (linux_check): s/int/PedSector/ to be on the safe side.
- libparted/gnu.c (_device_probe_geometry): fixed compile bug with the
bios_geom initialization, and now initializes hw_geom as well.

Wed Sep 8 02:00:00 2004 Ryan Weaver
[parted-1.6.14-1]
- released 1.6.14

[parted-1.6.13-1]
- libparted/disk_dos.c (partition_probe_bios_geometry): fixed the
call ped_partition_is_active... it wasn\'t a function call before!
- libparted/disk_dos.c (chs_get_sector): a bitmask operation is more elegant.
- libparted/disk_dos.c (chs_to_sector, probe_partition_for_geom):
replaced 1022 with 1023 for consistency.
- libparted/disk_dos.c (probe_partition_for_geom): added assertions that
test if the goal has been met.
- libparted/disk_dos.c (read_table, msdos_alloc_metadata):
Use PED_PARTITION_NORMAL instead of 0.
- libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_alloc_metadata, add_startend_metadata):
Now make sure the placeholder/metadata partitions never overlap with real
partitions. Should get rid of the \"overlapping partitions\" error message
bug.
- released 1.6.13

[parted-1.6.12-1]
- libparted/disk_dos.c (disk_probe_bios_geometry): check if the partition
is active before querying if it has the boot flag set. This prevents
some spurious error exceptions from ped_partition_get_flag().
- libparted/disk_dos.c (read_table): if we have an invalid partition table
signature, we now ignore the entire partition table rather than processing
dodgey data.
- doc/API: fixed PedDevice documentation.
- libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_partition_duplicate): now duplicates
partition->dos_data->orig.
- libparted/linux.c (_mount_table_search): now works by comparing device
major/minor rather than device names.
- libparted/linux.c (_partition_is_mounted, _partition_is_mounted_by_path,
linux_is_busy): minor cosmetic changes.
- parted/parted.c (_partition_warn_busy): removed the \"Ignore\" option.
Users
*must
* unmount!
- libparted/exception.c (log2): renamed to ped_log2 to avoid clash with
a new gcc builtin. Bug reported by David Ronis (thanks!)
- released 1.6.12

[parted-1.6.11-1]
- include/parted/device.h (PedDevice): replaced sectors, heads, cylinders
with hw_geom and bios_geom.
- libparted/disk_dos.c: rewrote to use better heuristics and have a more
\"subjective\" view of CHS geometry. (i.e. each partition\'s \"opinion\"
may differ now)
- configure.in parted/Makefile.am: fixed linker invocation. Rumored
to fix ppc64 build issues. Sent by Jeremy Katz .
- libparted/disk_dos.c (read_table): big cleanup
- libparted/disk_dos.c (read_table, process_bad_chs): now probes Microsoft
file systems for BIOS CHS geometry. This idea was suggested by
Steffen Winterfeldt .
- libparted/disk_dvh.c: some cleanups and change to fill in all fields in the
header from Eric Sandeen (sandeenAATTsgi.com)
- libparted/fs_fat/bootsector.c: bs->cluster_size is 8-bit; removed byteswap.
Patch from John Gilmore gnuAATTtoad.com (thanks!)
- libparted/debug.c include/parted/debug.h (ped_assert): change prototype
to have all (pointer) parameters to be const. (char
* -> const char
*)
- libparted/linux.c (linux_read, linux_write): don\'t do the kludge ioctl
for linux >= 2.6.0. Patch from Matt Domsch. (Thanks!)
- libparted/fs_reiserfs/geom_dal.c, libparted/geom.c, libparted/gnu.c,
libparted/linux.c: trivial patch to move pointers dereferences after
\"not-NULL\" assertions. Patch from Guillaume. (Thanks!)
- released 1.6.11

Sat Apr 17 02:00:00 2004 Ryan Weaver
[parted-1.6.10-1]
- libparted/disk_mac.c (mac_alloc): fixed incorrect malloc() check
(alex.kiernanAATTthus.net)
- libparted/linux.c (_device_get_sector_size): always return a sane value.
- added new translation: it (thanks to Giuseppe Sacco)
- added new translation: uk (thanks to Maxim V. Dziumanenko)

Tue Apr 6 02:00:00 2004 Ryan Weaver
- Shared Library filename was changed due to an outdated ltmain.sh.
[parted-1.6.9-1]

ltmain.sh was way out of date). Andrew Clausen

Tue Mar 30 02:00:00 2004 Ryan Weaver
- Updated spec file a bit.

- added new translation: zh_CN (thanks Wang Li :)
- updated translation: tr
- applied updated translations: cs, fr, ja, pl
- libparted/disk_
*.c (
*_partition_duplicate): added new_part->num = part->num
or result->num = part->num.
- libparted/fs_ext2/ext2.c (ext2_open): changed \"not cleanly unmounted\"
from a warning to an error, and default to cancel. Added a message saying
not ignoring could cause severe corruption.
- parted/parted.c (_partition_warn_busy): added a message saying not ignoring
could cause severe corruption.
- libparted/fs_ext2/ext2_resize.c (ext2_resize): offer to disable dir_index,
explaining how to reenable it later.
- libparted/fs_ext2/ext2_fs.h libparted/fs_ext2/ext2.c: added DIR_INDEX
stuff... now doesn\'t complain too much about dir_index.
- doc/parted.texi: applied Thomas Hood\'s changes. (thanks!)
- libparted/disk.c (ped_disk_get_maximum_geom): applied a tight constraint
for restoring the geometry. (It was loose before, and sometimes being
reverted incorrectly. Ooops!)
- parted/parted.c (start_end_msg): describe semantics of negative values.
- added Czech translations (thanks Miloslav :)
- updated Turkish, Danish translations
- applied new Polish translations.
- doc/parted.texi: s/mkparted/mkpart/ (Kent Robotti\'s program)
- libparted/disk_gpt.c: changed some large constants to LL (long long).
- parted/parted.c (do_print): translate partition type names. (\"primary\", etc.)
- switched to new autoconf/automake/libtool. This means acconfig.h was
removed, and comments were added to AC_DEFINE invocations in configure.in.

Tue Feb 25 01:00:00 2003 Ryan Weaver
[parted-1.6.5-1]
- libparted/disk_gpt.c: applied patch from Arun Sharma
to use write version 1.0, not 1.02 on the table, for compatibility reasons.
Insignificant for copyright purposes, IMHO.
- libparted/linux.c (_disk_sync_part_table): fixed an array over-run bug
reported by Sven Hartrumpf . Applied a
modified version of this patch. Insignificant for copyright purposes, IMHO.
- doc/parted.texi: fixed somes of typos and broken URLs.
- libparted/linux.c (_match_rd_device, _compare_digit_state,
_probe_proc_partitions): added, added and modified respectively to
match raid devices looking like /dev/rd/c0d0, which are not partitions.
- libparted/disk_dvh.c, libparted/Makefile.am, libparted/libparted.c:
renamed from everything from mips to dvh, including the file name
libparted/disk_mips.c.

Sun Dec 8 01:00:00 2002 Ryan Weaver
[parted-1.6.4-1]
- applied updated translations: fr, gl, tr, ja
- configure.in parted/Makefile.am partprobe/Makefile.am:
renamed PARTED_LDFLAGS to PARTEDLDFLAGS... it was causing automake to
do some odd things (name-space collision?)
- released 1.6.4
- libparted/fs_fat/calc.c (fat_calc_sizes, fat_recommend_min_cluster_size):
for fat32, try to avoid getting more than 2,000,000 clusters by increasing
the cluster size. Otherwise, Windows coughs.
- debug/test/test_fs_ext2: added a test for creating 0-length fs
- doc/API: fixed docs for ped_disk_get_partition_by_sector() and
ped_constraint_any()
- doc/parted.texi: updated section on bootdisks
- libparted/fs_fat/bootsector.c (fat_boot_sector_read): defined the
role of error checking in this function better. [It should guarantee
fat_boot_sector_probe_type() will work]. Added a check for
bs->cluster_size != 0) to satisfy this clarification. (msw reported
divide-by-zero)
- libparted/linux.c (init_file): replaced assertion dev->length > 0 with
a check + error message.
- (_partition_is_root_device): now returns -1 (\"unknown\") on error
- (_partition_is_mounted_by_path): re-did the logic with case statements,
and now remembers if /proc/mounts and /etc/mtab are broken. Gives
a better error message.
- parted/parted.c (do_print): removed cruft: we don\'t print free-space
partitions
- applied updated translations: fr, ja
- parted/parted.c (do_mkpart): moved ped_constraint_destroy() to just
before the return, so error handling occurs correctly.

Tue Aug 13 02:00:00 2002 Ryan Weaver
[parted-1.6.3-1]
- libparted/linux.c (_kernel_has_blkgetsize64, _device_get_length):
applied patch from Matt Domsch that adds support for a new ioctl,
BLKGETSIZE64
- parted/parted.c (_done): surpress the /etc/fstab advice in script mode
- updated translations: da, de, es, fr, gl
- new translations: tr (Turkish) - thanks Ey�p :)

Tue Jul 30 02:00:00 2002 Ryan Weaver
[parted-1.6.2-1]
- Catchup RPM, many changes. See ChangeLog in docs dir.
