[?] +** New Features + + Add --fix to --script mode to automatically fix problems like the backup + GPT header not being at the end of a disk. + + Add use of the swap partition flag to msdos disk labeled disks. + + Allow the partition name to be an empty string when set in script mode. + + Add --json command line switch to output the details of the disk as JSON. + + Add support for the Linux home GUID using the linux-home flag. + +** Bug Fixes + + Decrease disk sizes used in tests to make it easier to run the test suite + on systems with less memory. Largest filesystem is now 267MB (fat32). The + rest are only 10MB. + + Add aarch64 and mips64 as valid machines for testing. + + Escape colons and backslashes in the machine output. Device path, + model, and partition name could all include these. They are now + escaped with a backslash. + + Use libdevmapper's retry remove option when the device is BUSY. This + prevents libdevmapper from printing confusin output when trying to + remove a busy partition. + + Keep GUID specific attributes when writing the GPT header. Previously + they were set to 0. * Noteworthy changes in release 3.4 (2021-01-27) [stable] |
