I guess it's about time to release another version of Parted Magic. Nothing special about this release, just some minor updates and bug fixes. Just kidding, CLONEZILLA is now part of Parted Magic's program line-up! This is not a dual boot set-up like some people have done in the past, the actual program Clonezilla can be launched directly from the Parted Magic desktop. It took some modifications to get it working and the Clonezilla author Steven Shiau did a fantastic job helping us make the necessary changes to Parted Magic so it would work the way it was intended to work. Without his input, it would have taken much longer and users probably would have encountered bugs caused by Parted Magic. I can't thank Steven enough.
We also replaced bzip2 with pbzip2 and gzip with pigz. This should make compressing and decompressing files much faster if you have more than one processor. Machines with only one processor are obviously still supported and won't be affected by these changes.
This is the fairly large set of updated programs: dmraid_1.0.0.rc15, linux-2.6.30, udev-142, lftp-3.7.14, rsync-3.0.6, util-linux-ng-2.15.1, fsarchiver-0.5.7, gpicview-0.1.99, gsmartcontrol-0.8.4, ntfs-3g-2009.4.4AR.10, TrueCrypt-6.2, reiser4progs-1.0.7, progsreiserfs_0.3.0.5, safecopy-1.3, conky-1.7.1.1, pciutils-3.1.2, ext3grep-0.10.1, findutils-4.4.2.tar.gz, sshfs-fuse-2.2, testdisk-6.11-3 (with photorec_611_exif_bound_checking_v2.patch), galculator-1.3.4, busybox-1.14.1, e2fsprogs-1.41.6, gtk+-2.16.2, glib-2.20.3, syslinux-3.82, grsync-0.9.0, firefox-3.5b99, xfce4-screenshooter-1.6.0, usbutils-0.82
These programs were added: curl-7.19.5, clonezilla-2.3.3-33, partclone_0.1.1-10, drbl-1.9.4-33, awk-3.1.6, sed-4.1.5, grep-2.5.3, tightvnc-1.3.9 (only vncviewer), a script to suspend USB hard disks, mkswap-uuid-0.1.0-2
Bug Fixes: Save session from the LiveUSB works again. Added better support for "it" key maps. Stopped "menu" from having more than one instance. Xvesa settings now saved with "Save Session". Some other minor bugs were also fixed.

This is a bug fix release for the 4.x series of Parted Magic. Not only did some bugs get fixed, but a few new programs were added too. chntpw, nilfs-utils-2.0.12, gdisk-0.2.2, Adblock Plus 1.0.2 are now part of Parted Magic's program line-up. This is a list of fixed bugs from the forum entries: reiser4 support lacking, msftres bug, gFTP Fails to connect to SSH2 computer, Parted Magic 4.2 Clonezilla LILO and keyboard bugs, Clonezilla with Samba - Missing password prompt, Clonezilla not automatically unmounting disk?, Parted Magic 4.2 HDD won't boot, Questions about Pmagic (networking problem), and cloning and swap partitions
These programs have been updated: udev-143, glib-2.20.4, gtk+-2.16.4, e2fsprogs-1.41.7, firefox-3.5, fireftp-1.0.5, clonezilla-2.3.3-65, linux-2.6.30.1, p7zip_9.04, partclone_0.1.1-15, isomaster-1.3.5, roxterm-1.15.1, drbl-1.9.4-45, ndiswrapper-1.55
We also took some time to redo the artwork. Many thanks to Jason Vasquez for heading up this effort. I think it's the best looking version of Parted Magic yet!

This new version of Parted Magic updates the graphical server Xorg, expands networking, improves RAM usage, and fixes some bugs.
To combat some of the problems associated with the newer versions of Xorg and Intel chipsets, Parted Magic offers driver versions intel-2.4.1, intel-2.5.1, intel-2.6.3, intel-2.7.1 to the boot options. At the first boot screen press <TAB> and then add one of the listed drivers to the syslinux command line. Parted Magic will then install them while the system is booting. Most people will not have to do this because the default intel-2.8.1 driver fixes most problems from previous releases. I would also like to thank Jason Vasquez, Dukers, and verndog for all the testing with the Intel video drivers.
There is a new PPPoE option added to the "Start Network" program. PPPoE connections are now easy to establish.
RAM usage has been significantly reduced for the "Default settings (Runs from RAM)" and "Live with low RAM settings" boot options. The default option only requires 192MB, from 256MB in version 4.4, to completely run Parted Magic from RAM. The biggest gain was with the low RAM option because that now only requires 48MB to run. As far as we know, Parted Magic can run graphical GParted with less RAM than any other Live Distribution out of the box.

This version of Parted Magic updates programs to: ext3grep-0.10.2, fsarchiver-0.6.10, gdisk-0.6.7, hdparm-9.28, lftp-4.0.7, lzip-1.10, ms-sys-2.1.5, openssh-5.5p1, gencfs-1.0.2, gsshfs-1.0.3, sgsearch-1.1.3, chromium-6.0.424.0, gsshfs-1.0.1, linux-2.6.32.15, parted-2.3, syslinux-3.86, mc-20100509_git, ntfs-3g-2010.5.22, super_grub_disk_1.98s1, udev-157
Xarchiver was removed in favor of using File Roller for the archive manager.
To be as useful as possible while keeping the same lightweight philosophy these programs were added: lm_sensors-3.1.1, perl-5.10.1, dbrl-1.9.5-79, clonezilla-2.3.5-21, rarlinux-3.9.3, unrar-3.9.7, vmfs-tools-0.2.1
Some major effort went into this release and I hope you enjoy it. Next release will most likely include a newer Xorg and Linux Kernel. I would also like to thank burdi01 for his efforts improving the init scripts and his future work on the keyboard selection program.
Parted Magic 5.0 needs some final testing before it's released as stable. Seeing that we don't own 100's of computers, can you take some time to make sure xorg-server-1.7.7 and linux-2.6.34 work as expected?
GPARTED 0.6.0 RELEASE
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
the norm and many tools, including GParted, were hard coded to
assume this sector size.
Also included in this release are bug fixes, and language
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
BUG FIXES
* Add support for devices with sector sizes > 512 bytes (#607165)
* Add align to MiB option and make it the default (#617409)
* Enable copy to work on computers with only 128 MiB RAM (#613430)
* Fix mkswap error "UUID parsing failed" when resizing with no UUID
- Debian Bug #573836
* Handle devkit-disks command being renamed to udisks on Dec. 2009
- GParted Bug #324220 comment 62, Ubuntu launchpad #588530
* Convert git log entries for Makefile generated ChangeLog
* Clean up progress bar current status after copy/move action

DEPENDENCIES (new/updated)
* Support for sector sizes > 512 bytes requires libparted
version 2.2 or higher.
* Previously missed dependency for DMRAID:
- if available, either udevinfo or udevadm will be used
to query the udev name.
Updated: gparted-0.6.1, linux-2.6.34.1, clamav-0.96.1, xorg-server-1.7.7, bash-4.1, freetype-2.3.12, module-init-tools-3.12, syslinux-4.01, wireless_tools.29, wpa_supplicant-0.7.2, util-linux-ng-2.18, simpleburn-1.5.1
Added: gawk-3.1.8, psensor-0.2.6, wiper-2.6, lscpu, tk8.5.8
Major new feature: You can select German, French, Italian, Norwegian, Brazilian, and Russian languages from the boot menu. The "Default" and "Live" options are both supported as point and click. I'm hoping this new feature correctly sets the keyboard as well. These languages where determined by the countries which download Parted Magic the most. A large number of my cash donors come from Germany, so I have a great interest in supporting this country in anyway possible.
This is a bug fix as well as a major feature release. The Intel drivers for Xorg work now and a few other small issues with locales/fonts were improved.
Parted Magic now includes language support for Japanese, Chinese, Chinese (TW), and Polish. The Asian language support needs work and any input would be very welcome.
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 the new MiB alignment feature might overwrite the Extended Boot Record of another logical partition. This causes an invalid partition table with a wrong signature.
See the Release Notes (https://sourceforge.net/projects/gparted/files/gparted/gparted-0.6.1/gparted-0.6.1-notes.txt/view) for more details.
Parted Magic 5.2 updates GParted to 0.6.2, fixes some bugs, and improves international language support. The new GParted re-enables MiB partition alignment option and fixes the problem with logical partition move overwriting the EBR. A mess of bugs have been fixed with the help of Dick Burggraaff (burdi01), Jason Vasquez, and most of all, users willing to take the time to report them and help us test. Asian language support has been greatly improved with the addition of SCIM and GCIN. GCIN is automatically started when Taiwanese is selected at the boot menu and SCIM is automatically started when Japanese or Chinese is selected at the boot menu.
Parted Magic 5.3 updates to truecrypt-7.0, g4l-34a, busybox-1.17.1, freetype-2.4.2, ntfs-3g-2010.8.8, udev-161, unetbootin-471, linux-2.6.34.5, lxterminal-0.1.8
Some other adjustments have been made to improve memory usage once again thanks to burdi01. We dropped Unionfs in favor of Unionfs-fuse. The main pmagic-5.3.sqfs is now one squashfs instead of the split up method. If anybody was having issues with G4L, give this version a try. Some other minor bugs were fixed.
Parted Magic 5.4 updates to alsa-lib-1.0.23, alsa-utils-1.0.23, dhcp-4.2.0, grub-1.98, linux-2.6.35.3.
For some unknown reason keyboard input slowed down in the last release. Updating the kernel seems to have fixed the problem. NTFS file systems not being mounted as read-write while using G4L is fixed. We also moved to AUFS, which improves RAM usage even more.
Parted Magic 5.5 updates a significant amount of packages and fixes some minor bugs. The programs have been updated to dosfstools-3.0.9, jfsutils-1.1.14, perl-5.12.1, ddrescue-1.13, e2fsprogs-1.41.12, openssh-5.6p1, xfsprogs-3.1.3, linux-2.6.35.4, tar-1.23, xchat-2.8.8, zlib-1.2.3, pciutils-3.1.7, syslinux-4.02, vte-0.24.3, lftp-4.0.10, mc-4.7.0.9, udev-162, chromium-browser-7.0.517.0, clonezilla-1.2.6-20, and libpci3-3.1.7.
The program flashrom-0.9.2+r1141 has been added. Flashrom is a utility for identifying, reading, writing, verifying and erasing flash chips.
The Parted Magic ISO image is now "hybrid", so it can be written directly to a USB drive using dd.
NOTES
This release of GParted fixes a regression introduced with the
previous version. The problem introduced was that when
partitions were created using MiB alignment, the resulting
partition was 1 MiB larger in size than requested.
Key changes include:
- Fix partitions created using MiB alignment are 1 MiB larger
BUG FIXES
* Fix partitions created using MiB alignment are 1 MiB larger (#631026)
Parted Magic 5.7 includes the new 0.7.0 version of GParted and some major changes to networking. Wicd is now used as the default networking manager and Gnome PPP for dial-up connections. The old Start Network program is still in the panel menu if you want to use it. The vncviewer was switched to Real VNC Viewer. A DBAN clone called nwipe was added for more advanced disk wiping.
GPARTED 0.7.0 RELEASE

The GParted team is proud to announce the stable release of GParted Live 0.7.1-5.
This release is based on the Debian Sid repository as of Jan 7, 2011, and includes a new boot menu background.
The most notable changes are the Linux 2.6.37 Kernel, GParted 0.8.0, and the move back to Firefox as the default web browser.
We updated some programs and here is the list: fsarchiver-0.6.12, gzip-1.4, hdparm-9.37, xz-5.0.1, conky-1.8.1, ntfs-3g-2011.1.15, linux-2.6.37, gdisk-0.6.14, hdt-0.4.1, ms-sys-2.2.1, nwipe-0.04, squashfs-4.1, libxml2-2.7.8, and gparted-0.8.0.
These programs have been added: reglookup-0.12.0, firefox-3.6.13, and ntp-4.2.6p3 (ntpd starts automatically at boot).
Some of the lesser changes were fixing the “shred” bug in the “Erase Disk” menu, the boot/isolinux directory has been removed (instead we use the boot/syslinux directory and the syslinux.cfg), and /root/.conkyrc has been moved to /etc/conky/conky.conf. Some other bugs were fixed as always.
GParted 0.8.0 (2011-02-15)
Release Notes
The GParted team is proud to announce a new feature to attempt data rescue for lost partitions.

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.
Please note that 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 in this release 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)

– Fixed some minor annoyances.
There are some major changes that might cause some issues with the Multi-Boot-CD crowd. For a long time the pmagic-<version>.sqfs and Initramfs would not be found on completely supported computers.
Reason #1: This was caused by Windows based zip programs failing to convert the file names properly. The file name would be named PMAGIC_<VERSION>.SQFS when burnt to the CD or copied to a USB drive. Solution: Rename the file PMAGIC_<VERSION>.SQFS and don't compress the ISO images anymore.
Reason #2: I wasn't using the mkisofs -J option when making the official ISO images. Windows file managers saw the file as PMAGIC_<VERSION>.SQFS and it would be copied to a USB drive with uppercase letters. This would cause the failure to boot. Solution: Rename the file PMAGIC_<VERSION>.SQFS and use the -J option.
Reason #3: Somebody would remaster the ISO image and not use the mkisofs -l option. This was caused by the long file name of /pmagic/initramfs. Solution: Rename the file initrd.img. Some of the most popular distributions use this name, so why not?. You can still boot the initrd.img with or without the -l option now.
Major Bug: There was a dummy file mistaking left in /usr/local/bin that caused the secure erase command to fail. It's been removed.
Updated Programs: lilosetup-0.2.9.1, testdisk-6.13, linux-3.1.2.

Huge updates with this one! New 3.3.6 Linux Kernel, Xorg Server 1.12.1 with the most recent drivers, SpaceFM replaces PCManFM-Mod, Udisks replaces PMount, and an optional firewall for wired connections. To enable the firewall hit <TAB> and add “firewall” at the first boot screen. All incoming traffic is blocked. Support for wireless is coming soon. See the changelog for a complete list of updated software.
Updated programs: coreutils-8.17, file-5.11, lftp-4.3.6, mbr-1.1.11, openssh-6.0p1, openssl-0.9.8x, rdesktop-1.7.1, sshfs-fuse-2.4, unetbootin-575, zerofree-1.0.2, clamav-0.97.4, e2fsprogs-1.42.3, fuse-2.9.0, rsync-3.0.9, cifs-utils-5.4, keyutils-1.5.5, krb5-1.7.1, curl-7.25.0, libidn-1.25, openldap-client-2.4.31, spacefm-0.7.7
Added programs: pyneighborhood-0.5.4, shorewall-4.4.27, shorewall6-4.4.27.3, gptsync-0.14, udevil-0.2.4
New features: The firewall routine from 2012_05_14 has been removed in favor of Shorewall. Development has started on a simple GUI for Shorewall in Parted Magic. The GUI supports stop, start, restart, and basic rule changes.
Updated programs: clonezilla-1.2.12-60, ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs-2012.1.15AR.5, partclone-0.2.48, testdisk-6.14-WIP, bash-4.2.024, lxinput-0.3.2, menu-cache-0.3.3, xmms2-0.8DrO_o, libogg-1.2.2, libvorbis-1.3.2, lxmusic-0.4.5, mpg123-1.13.3, alsa-lib-1.0.25, alsa-utils-1.0.25

Bugs fixed: Archiving issue with SpaceFM. MP3, OGG, and WAV files now play in lxmusic.
Removed programs: module-init-tools
New features: ipex added to boot menu.
06/25/12: Updated boost_1_49_0, cifs-utils-5.5. Continued to rework panel menu by adding Multimedia and rearranging a few more desktop files. Rewrote /usr/bin/pmagic_check_libs from scratch.
06/24/12: Updated xdg-user-dirs-0.13, xdg-utils-1.1.0_rc1. Xdg day! Removed the help button from the panel and added it to the panel menu. Rearranged some of the menu entries because they were in the wrong category. Added Erase Disk and Clonezilla to the desktop. A lot of people seem to have trouble finding them in the panel menu.
06/23/12: Updated conky-1.9.0. Added libmcs-0.7.2, libmowgli-0.7.1. Reverted back to module init tools. For some reason kmod isn't blacklisting modules and hangs the system when depmod is executed while /lib/modules is a union. I'm sure these issues are my fault, but I need some time to sort it out. Kmod is NOT a drop in replacement for module-init-tools.
06/22/12: Updated xz-5.0.4. Fixed problem when the NVIDIA packages are installed on a non NVIDIA system. Added option to put squashfs.ko in initrd.img/lib if your custom kernel has squashfs built as a module. Parted Magic's kernel modules are in a squashfs, so that puts the cart in front of the horse. The kernel document also states this now.
06/21/12: Updated psmisc-22.18, clamav-0.97.5, ethtool-3.4.1. This one was a pain in the butt. I spent a good part of the day building the nVidia drivers. The source was adapted from some stuff I found on slackbuilds.org. I'll post the updated kernel drivers every time the kernel is updated. The drivers are located here: http://beefdrapes.partedmagic.com/packages/extra/ . Just put these packages in pmagic/pmodules and use the “Kill Nouveau” option in the failsafe menu. There is also a new option in the Extras boot menu. You can start Nwipe at boot without starting X. There is also an option to reboot when Nwipe is closed.
06/20/12: Updated spacefm-0.7.8, udevil-0.2.8. You can now cancel the download while downloading the clamav definition files.
06/19/12: Updated gzip-1.5, linux-3.4.3. Added instructions for building the kernel to the source tree. Includes getting the modules into the initramfs.
06/18/12: Updated ddrescue-1.16, pixman-0.26.0, xorg-server-1.12.2, firefox-13.0.1.
06/15/12: Updated freetype-2.4.10.
Switched to daily changelog. More like a journal. :)
Updated programs: xrandr-1.3.5, bluez-4.91, fsarchiver-0.6.15, linux-3.4.2, e2fsprogs-1.42.4, sed-4.2.1, libdrm-2.4.35, xf86-video-nouveau-git_20120614_36d3f8c
Added programs: arpwatch-2.1a15, sallu-xclamscan-1.1.1, arandr-0.1.6, samba-3.5.14, pm-utils-1.4.1
Parted Magic 2012_07_05
07/04/12: Updated grep-2.13, mount-gtk-1.2.1. Happy 4th!
07/03/12: Updated linux-3.4.4. Added “setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0 &” to /root/.xinitrc. New Fail Safe boot option “Load NVIDIA”. This loads the nvidia kernel module and blacklists nouveau. You can do the same thing by adding “blacklist=nouveau nvidia=yes” to any boot loader's append line. You need the NVIDIA packages found on partedmagic.com to load the nvidia kernel module.
07/02/12: Added “Erase MBR” option to “Erase Disk”. Upped kernel command line parameter from vmalloc=256MiB to vmalloc=288MiB. Added “xset dpms 0 0 0 &” to /root/.xinitrc
07/01/12: Updated udevil-0.2.9. All mount and umount issues resolved. /etc/mtab moved back to a text file.
06/29/12: Updated lshw-B.02.16, partclone-0.2.49. Removed module-init-tools. Added kmod-9. Symbolic link /etc/mtab to /proc/mounts fixed the double unmount issue in GParted. SpaceFM desktop icon opens /root instead of /.
06/28/12: Fixed issue with dfs using cifs. Added nbd-3.0 (network block device) client and server.
06/27/12: Updated clonezilla-1.2.12-67. Most of the panel menu items now have more generic names and fixed missing space in “Desktop Settings”.
07/13/2012: Updated gparted-0.13.0.
07/12/2012: Updated exfat-utils-0.9.7, fuse-exfat-0.9.7, gparted-0.12.1-git from 07/12/2012. I personally enabled the use of exfat-utils. You can create, label, and check exfat with GParted now.
07/11/2012: Updated udev-182. Another all day project long overdue. I also went over the firmware directory which was a mess. If a device or a program no longer works, please let me know. I figured the udev update was going to be messy.
07/09/2012: Updated xorg-server-1.12.3. Improvements made to /usr/bin/pmagic_zap_mbr and /init.
07/08/2012: Updated btrfs-progs-20120708. Masked aufs /proc/mounts entries in init for mkfs.btrfs. I was getting the “mkfs.btrfs error checking mount status” nonsense. I should be able to update btrfs at will now. It took me a good 8 hours to figure this out. :/
07/07/12: Updated pciutils-3.1.10, smartmontools-5.43. Added tango-icon-theme-0.8.90. I pretty much deleted the entire icon directory and reworked it from scratch. The overall appearance is more consistent. Most of the /usr/bin/pmagic* scripts needed to be reworked for the icon change.
The most significant enhancement is with GParted 0.13.0, which now shows when there is a difference between the file system size and the partition size. Thanks to work by Mike Fleetwood this resolves bug #499202 that has been open since 2007. With this new feature, users can learn if there is unallocated space within a partition that can then be put to good use.
Another important application change is a fix for bug #678831 which resolves a problem with overlapping partitions when resizing an extended partition.
Also new in this release:
Adds web browser icon to desktop
Adds menu button keyboard shortcut to bring up Fluxbox root menu (bug #578842)
Useful when using GParted Live without a mouse
Updates Linux kernel to 3.2.21-3
Based on Debian Sid repository (as of 2012/Jul/14)
Includes new GParted 0.13.0 release
Most ambitious release of Parted Magic to date! LVM hang fixed.
Garbled Russian translation problem with Clonezilla fixed. Added nfs4 support for Clonezilla.
Truecrypt hang fixed. Roxterm 2.6.5 replaces lxterminal. Fixed “cryptsetup luksOpen” bug.
SVG icons now look like they are supposed to. Added LOG support to iptables kernel driver.
HAL has been removed. You can now boot Parted Magic from Linux RAID partitions (/dev/md*).
Device Mapper and LUKS Crypt should work in the next release.
I'm hoping to get Parted Magic to boot from encrypted USB drives real soon. If you haven't noticed,
SpaceFM is getting really awesome, check out their news page.
See the Parted Magic changelog for a complete list of updates.

09/07/2012: Fixed split_initrdimg.sh more. Command line was too long for atftpd. Apparently atftpd has a 32MB file size limit and a command line length limit. :/
09/06/2012: firefox-15.0.1, gparted-0.13.1-git (with LVM2 support), kmod-10, alsa-utils-1.0.26, alsa-lib-1.0.26.

09/03/2012: Updated unetbootin-581. More edits to init and rcS.
08/31/2012: Fixed split_initrdimg.sh. One of the split files was 41MB and that pretty much defeated the purpose. Made some minor edits to init and rcS to handle kernel file systems better.
08/29/2012: Updated pigz-2.2.5, openssh-6.1p1. Fixed bad symbolic link libnotify.so.1.

Stable Clonezilla live (2.0.1-15) Released
This release of Clonezilla live (2.0.1-15) includes minor enhancements and bug fixes.
*** ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES ***
* The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2012/Dec/17).
* Linux kernel was updated to 3.2.35-1.
* Module floppy was listed in the blacklist. The floppy is normally useless but if it exists, it might cause the disk detection delay. If floppy is required, a user still can run "modprobe floppy" to load it.
* Catalan language was added. Thanks to René Mérou and Innocent De Marchi.
* Language file de_DE, it_IT, fr_FR, ja_JP.UTF-8, zh_CN and zh_TW were updated. Thanks to Michael Vinzenz, Gianfranco Gentili, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Akira YOSHIYAMA, and Zhiqiang Zhang.
*** BUG FIXES ***
* Force to run command "partprobe" after local disk is inserted in prep-ocsroot. Thanks to neikalo for reporting this issue (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3592776&group_id=115473&atid=671650).
* To avoid a grub1 on ext4 issue, running the grub-install from the
restored OS should be tried first. If fails, then using the grub1 on the running OS.
* The description for the option "-r" of ocs-sr and ocs-onthefly was polished. Thanks to auroracore.
* The -k option of ocs-iso and ocs-live-dev should be updated since now keyboard layout boot parameter from live-config is used.
* Boot parameter "utc=no" did not work in Clonezilla live. Thanks to rogerja for reporting this issue.
* The batch_mode on the server is nothing to do with that on the client in the program ocs-onthefly. Thanks to kevluck373 for reporting this issue (https://sourceforge.net/projects/clonezilla/forums/forum/663168/topic/6188724).
* Keyboard layout prompt in "recovery-iso-zip" was fixed.
* MBR partition table should not be larger than 2 TiB (2.2 TB). A checking mechanism was added in ocs-expand-mbr-pt to avoid going on.

Fixed network detection in several /usr/bin/pmagic* net scripts. This was caused by writing the scripts using ifconfig from busybox and then including net-tools which handles ifconfig differently.
g4l/g4l-v0.43-i486-1_pmagic.txz: Added.
Parted Magic used to include an older version of this. Please help test this so we can stay current with the newest g4l releases.
+--------------------------+
This version of Parted Magic brings all the Xorg packages up to date, adds Spanish language support, and a much improved Shut Down Menu.
In the last release there were some issues with the Xorg 13 series. Some people were getting black screens. Reports have come in and most of this seems to be corrected by adjusting some udev rules, pulling a few Xorg drivers from git, and updating to the 3.7.5 Linux kernel.
Lots of packages have been recompiled to add the Spanish locales. The syslinux menu has also been updated with Spanish language entries. Spanish is now very well supported in Parted Magic.
The Shut Down Menu has been redesigned to be completely ran with or without the mouse. It can also be translated, though English and Spanish are the completed languages at this time.
Lots of people were having trouble finding the panel menu button because it was simply the Parted Magic logo and it didn't look clickable. We replaced it with a familiar looking button typically found on most Smart Phones.
You can now use the Clonezilla rescue iso option. Thanks to Steven Shiau for helping me get this working in Parted Magic.
Firefox is updated to the latest 18.0.1 release.
The CD Save Session routine now uses the Xfburn GUI instead of the command line tools with fixed options. This was reported to have improved performance.
Last but not least, the versions have been mixed up a little bit again.
pmagic_2013_01_29.iso: Both i686 and x86_64 kernels. The menu has been reworked so they can easily both be used on the same disk.
pmagic_2013_01_29_i686.iso: This only has the i686 PAE SMP kernel.
pmagic_2013_01_29_i586.iso: This kernel is compiled for i585 with PAE and SMP disabled.
This release of Clonezilla live (2.1.0-26) includes major enhancements and bug fixes.
*** ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES ***
* The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is
based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2013/Feb/26).
* Linux kernel was updated to 3.2.39-1.
* Multipath devices, e.g. /dev/cciss/c0d0, are now supported natively. No
more linking them to /dev/sd[a-z]. Therefore now LVM on cciss device are
supported. Thanks to the patch files from Miracle Linux.
* A "blkdev.list" info file was added in the image dir.
* Xen disk (/dev/xvd[a-z]) was added as a supported device.
* Three log files, /var/log/clonezilla.log, /var/log/ocs-netcfg.log, and /
var/log/ocs-mount.log are used to save the logs.
* Language file ca_ES, de_DE, es_ES, it_IT, fr_FR, ja_JP.UTF-8, zh_CN and
zh_TW were updated. Thanks to René Mérou, Michael Vinzenz, Alex
Ibáñez López, Gianfranco Gentili, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Akira
YOSHIYAMA, and Zhiqiang Zhang.
* Package partclone was updated to 0.2.58.drbl1. An issue with imaging JFS
partitions larger than 50 GB has been fixed.
* Adding "-m 1024" option to partclone. This should increase the imaging
efficiency. Thanks to Ingo Wolf Wolf _at_ gmx de> for this suggestion.
* An option -srel|--save-restore-error-log to force saving error log in the
image dir was added in ocs-sr and drbl-ocs. By default, we do not save
that in the image directory when restoring. Only when saving it will be
saved in the image dir.
* Package udisks was added the packages list for Clonezilla live. Thanks to
fusi1939 for this suggestion.
* Pacakge extlinux was added. Therefore makeboot.sh can now make a USB
flash flash drive with NTFS, ext2/3/4, and btrfs bootable.
*** BUG FIXES ***
* A bug where makeboot.sh failed to deal with path names containing white
space was fixed
* Boot parameter containing "$" character did not work for ocs related
parameters. Thanks to kuen-shieh yang for reporting this issue.
Parted Magic 2013_02_28
The Parted Magic project is proud to announce another stable release of the popular partitioning and system rescue environment. Since the last release many new improvements and updates have taking place.
Parted Magic now supports booting from EFI BIOS. The kernel has been upgraded to Linux 3.7.9 with fixes for the bug bricking Samsung laptops using EFI and the samsung-laptop module. It's safe to use EFI and Parted Magic in this release. Thanks to czernitko from Czernitko's Corner for helping us put this together.
chntpw has been added to the boot menu once again.
A new kernel command line option “wicd” allows you to easily switch between Network Manager and WICD.
A bug affecting networking detection in Clonezilla has been fixed.
Added de, fr, it, ja, nb, pl, pt_BR, ru, zh_CN, zh_TW translations to the new shutdown menu.
The program wipefreespace has been added and we spent a lot of time make a nice GTK+ GUI to make it easier to use. It can be accessed from the Disk Eraser menu on the desktop.
NetworkManager and network-manager-applet have been updated to 0.9.8.0. A bug in Parted Magic that was causing the authentication dialog from starting has been fixed. Wireless is far easier to use now.
Following programs have been added: parallel-20120322, libxslt-1.1.26, secure-delete-3.1, wipefreespace-1.7.2, and minicom-2.6.
Updated Programs: mozilla-firefox-19.0.1, fsarchiver-0.6.17, unetbootin-583, flashrom-0.9.6.1, spacefm-8544e8b, btrfs-progs-20130216, dosfstools-3.0.14, exfat-utils-1.0.1, fuse-exfat-1.0.1, linux-3.7.9, ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs-2013.1.13AR.1, xfsdump-3.1.2, xf86-video-intel-2.21.3, network-manager-applet-0.9.8.0, NetworkManager-0.9.8.0, nilfs-utils-2.1.4, udevil-0.4.0, lxpanel-0.5.12, menu-cache-0.4.1, nwipe-0.13, xf86-video-mga-1.6.2, nmap-6.25, xf86-input-synaptics-1.6.3, xf86-video-intel-2.21.0, gtkdialog-0.8.3, xf86-video-ati-7.1.0.
See the ChangeLog for a complete list of updates.
This release of Clonezilla live (2.1.1-7) includes minor enhancements and bug fixes.
*** ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES ***
* The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2013/Mar/14).
* Partclone was updated to 0.2.59.
* Clonezilla is now able to image Minix.
* Program keyutils was added. Thanks to Joe M. for this suggestion.
* Command grub-install is no longer run for grub1 on an ext4 file system when grub-install is from Debian. This prevents a potential indefinite hang.
* A prompt about skipping re-installing grub 1 in ocs-functions was improved.
* For imaging/cloning partition mode, "-g auto" is no longer turned on by default. While it's still on for the imaging/cloning disk mode.
* The progress bar for resize2fs was turned on when resizing the ext file system to fit the partition size.
*** BUG FIXES ***
* Bugs where ocs-onthefly failed to use the "-k1" option and where ocs-tux-postprocess did not search LV were fixed.
* A bug where there was no ocs-update-syslinux process in ocs-onthefly was fixed.
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)
Fix move primary partition right to left shrinks partition 1 MiB (#695078)

This release of Clonezilla live (2.1.1-25) includes minor enhancements and bug fixes.
ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES
The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2013/Apr/20).
Linux kernel was updated to 3.2.41-2.
Partclone was updated to 0.2.60.drbl1.
The package drbl was updated to 2.3.28-drbl1, and clonezilla was updated to 3.3.40-drbl1.
Sample file "custom-ocs-1" was updated.
A Dialog menu is used in the final action of Clonezilla live.
The MAC address of a network card will be shown when configuring the network settings.
BUG FIXES
A bug which caused the first menu (start_clonezilla or enter_shell) to still continued even after it was cancelled.
When using "select_in_client" mode, the postrun action is now correctly passed to PXE clients.
A bug has been fixed which made cnvt-ocs-dev unable to convert cciss device names to sd[a-z]. Thanks to Andy Smith (a.smith at ldex co uk) for reporting this issue.
Parted Magic 2013_05_01
The Parted Magic project is proud to announce another stable release of the popular partitioning and system rescue environment. This has been by far the most ambitious release of Parted Magic to date. Take a look at all the new features and improvements!
EFI booting support from CDROM has been greatly improved.
Erase Disk has a new menu with translations.
f2fs-tools has been added. You an also create a f2fs with GParted. The GParted team graciously excepted our patch and merged it with version 0.16.0 of GParted.
A new “forcevesa” kernel command line option has been added. This works with cards like the MGA G200* series.
The Parted Magic Wipe Free Space GUI has been translated.
We have created a simple GTK+ GUI for chntpw. It should make changing Windows passwords much easier.
The Xorg Server has been upgraded to 1.14.1 with all the latest Xorg drivers.
SpaceFM now manages the desktop. You can now drag and drop icons to the desktop or /root/Desktop folders. The right click menu allows the creation of files and folders. That means you can keep your files on the desktop again. :)
Jeex and Hexedit have been added to the SpaceFM right click “Open” menu. This makes it much easier to edit files directly. “Open terminal here” and “Show hidden files” have also been added to the right click menu.
We have written a new program to help prepare USB drives for booting Parted Magic. It's called “USB Boot Flash”. This code was based off “bootflash” from Puppy Linux.
Firefox has been upgraded to version 20.0.1.
We wrote a new program called “Parted Magic Mount” and the fstab daemon has been completely redesigned. It works much faster and it's a lot more accurate then it ever has been. Because of the new design it polls every 5 seconds instead of 10. If a change is detected, the device probe and fstab changes are made in about 1 second on most machines.
GParted has been upgraded to version 0.16.1. This version corrects the segfaults found in the 0.15.0 and 0.16.0 releases. It's been well tested by us and the GParted team.
Clonezilla has been upgraded to version 3.3.10 and DRBL to version 2.3.10.
There has also been a number of added programs: chkrootkit-0.49, gdmap-0.8.1, sg3_utils-1.35, jeex-12.0, xterm-291, rdesktop-1.7.1, putty-0.62, and f2fs-tools-1.1.0.
The Linux kernel has been upgraded to version 3.8.10 with reiser4 support.
The following programs have been removed: udisks, mount-gtk, Rox-filer, feh, and imlib.
See the changelog for a complete list of updated packages. There are a lot of them!
Parted Magic donation program updates: March 2013, Testdisk receives $100. April 2013, Truecrypt receives $100. May 2013, hdparm receives $100.
Another month of solid development is complete, it's time to release Parted Magic with a new look and a growing number improvements. After what seems like a good part of 5 years, Parted Magic has a new desktop wallpaper! Colin Skees put together the Steampunk/Tron theme for us and I have to say it is really cool. We came up with 2 sizes and probe for screen resolution, so it looks good on most machines.
A lot of work went into Parted Magic Mount. It now auto refreshes and supports device mapper, smart phones, cameras, and Kindles. Most of the little quirks have been worked out and we honestly believe it is becoming one of the best GUI mount utilities available.
Clonezilla has been updated to 3.3.40, drbl to 2.3.28, and partclone 0.2.61.
On various blogs I have read the people need GParted to resize NTFS filesystems with bad sectors. So what we have done is patched GParted to support bad sectors in NTFS. The GParted team advises against this and we have to agree. The best solution was to have two GParted binaries. The GParted binary that resizes NTFS is located in the system section of the panel menu and is labeled “Resize NTFS with Bad Sectors”. It should be difficult to use the “wrong” one.
You can now “lock” the screen. The screen locker is located in the right click desktop menu.
The Erase Disk program now has logging.
For those users that require RDP access, Remmina has been added to the desktop.
As always Parted Magic comes with a large number of program updates. The Linux kernel was updated to 3.8.13, all the latest Xorg drivers, and a large number of core programs.
Take a look at the changelog for the full list of program updates and changes.
This release of Clonezilla live (2.1.2-20) includes major enhancements
and bug fixes.

Major overhaul of the syslinux menu. Many of the boot options have changed. Please make a note of this.
/etc/init.d/rcS has been heavily altered to remove unneeded code and use the new “function=yes/no” style.
Most of the “grepping” of /proc/cmdline has been removed system wide.
On my VirtualBox installation, Parted Magic boots about 20 seconds faster because of the new changes.
I'm sure some stuff may still be broken, please take the time to let us know.

This is probably the most thoroughly tested version of Parted Magic we've done in awhile. More attention was given to fixing old problems then adding new features. That's not to say there are a few new ones.
The program to download virus definitions has been overhauled to show more information after the download is complete. Such as the size of the files and the version. You can also decide to download the main, daily, or both. The program which displays what programs are installed has been split up into groups instead of a 1,000 package list.
The EFI GRUB2 menu and the syslinux menu have been completely overhauled from scratch. The syslinux menu looks the same, but the guts are entirely new. The EFI GRUB2 menu is now laid out almost exactly like the syslinux menu so it isn't as confusing.
The Parted Magic services program was also overhauled and works with easier to manage toggle buttons for stop/start.
The program to switch keyboards maps again gets a facelift.
Parted Magic now includes wxHexEditor, powertop, mbuffer, mhash, and emelfm2.
A few long standing unexplainable problems have disappeared switching from systemd-udev to eudev. As far as we know, we are one of the first distributions to start using it by default.
How Parted Magic sets the time has been redone and a new user friendly GUI to set the time has been created.
As usual, about 100+ programs have been upgraded to their newest releases. Take a look at the change log for all the nuts and bolts.
