Bugzilla Bug 171972

1.8.6
=====

Revert the implementation of the linux-swap(new) and linux-swap(old) types.
The type is 'linux-swap' for v1, v2, and s1suspend swap partitions on Linux.


1.8.5
=====

Another minor update.  Both versions 1.8.3 and 1.8.4 lacked po translation
files.  These are included with version 1.8.5.


1.8.4
=====

Minor bug fix release for 1.8.3 to fix build issues on various platforms:
* Use 'uname -m' to determine if we build on System Z or not.
* Include <parted/vtoc.h> in <parted/fdasd.h> for format1_label_t definition.
* Remove unused variables in libparted/arch/linux.c (-Werror).
* Check return values on fgets() and asprint() in libparted/arch/linux.c
  (-Werror).
* Check for tgetent() in libtinfo in the configure script.
* Move some macro definitions in <parted/disk.h> to fix a compile problem
  with gcc-4.1.2 as indicated here:
  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2007-03/msg00008.html


1.8.3
=====

libparted:
* Header file clean ups.
* Sync the linux-swap header according to the Linux kernel sources.
* Enable support for swsusp partitions and the ability to differentiate
  between old and new versions of linux-swap partitions.
* Renaming PARTITION_EXT to PARTITION_DOS_EXT in the DOS disklabel
  code (consitency with Linux kernel source).
* Added libparted.pc pkg-config file.
* Remove unused functions, ifdefs, and other code.
* Deprecate ped_[register|unregister]_disk_type in favor of
  ped_disk_type_[register|unregister].
* Small test program fixes (in label.c and common.c).
* Make functions const-correct.
* Handle systems where libreadline is not available.
* Preserve starting sector for primary NTFS 3.1 partitions on DOS disklabel.
* Handle 2048-byte logical sectors in linux_read().
* Use PED_SECTOR_SIZE_DEFAULT macro in place of 512.
* Don't assume logical sector size is <= 512B on AIX.
* Detect HFS write failure.
* Use mkstemp() in place of mktemp().
* Added HFS+ resize support.
* Don't build DASD support on non-zSeries hardware.

parted/partprobe:
* Use fputs() and putchar() in place for printf(), when possible.
* Detect/report stdout write errors.
* Accept the --version and --help options.
* Fix memory leaks in parted(8).

general:
* Synchronize the manual page and --help documentation.
* GNU autoconf and automake updates.
* 'gcc -Wall -Wshadow' warning cleanups.
* Don't define _GNU_SOURCE manually.
* Documentation updates and cleanups (AUTHORS, copyright notices, etc).
* Use gnulib (http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/).


Compiled okay using sys-apps/parted-1.8.2.ebuild and latest version of qtparted
seems to run fine.  I just haven't tried it yet.:)

Reproducible: Always

Version 1.8.6 builds and runs fine using a bumped parted-1.8.2 ebuild.

Added to CVS... thanks for the bug report and I apologize that it took so long
to get done...
