=====

GNU parted is now licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3
or higher.  See the COPYING file for more details.

libparted:
- Add compute_block_counts() to improve ext2fs support.
- Properly detect &apos;ext2 fs too small&apos; cases.
- Move formatting commands out of translatable strings.
- Read an msdos partition table from a device with 2K sectors.
- Remove always-false &quot;Unable to open&quot; diagnostic in ped_disk_new(), leave
  the &quot;unrecognized disk label&quot; diagnostic.
- Don&apos;t leak partition table buffer in amiga_read().
- Don&apos;t read/write initialized memory with DEBUG turned on off for &apos;mklabel
  bsd&apos; and &apos;mklabel amiga&apos; command calls.
- Turn off DEBUG in libparted.c to avoid initializing all allocated memory
  to &apos;1&apos; bits.
- Correct handling of HeaderSize field in GPT labels.
- Fix block number used when checking for ext2 fs state.
- Add detection support for Xen virtual block devices (/dev/xvd*).
- When reading DASD labels, check the filesystem type as well as partition
  flags to determine what&apos;s on the partition.
- Add _dm_probe_all() from Debian to probe for all device-mapper devices.

parted:
- Fixed exception handling in mkpart and mkpartfs commands.
- Add the --dry-run option to the partprobe command.
- Update docs: cannot specify &apos;primary&apos; for a partition on a loop device.
- Remove unused functions (get_spaces).
- Fix off-by-one error in str_list_print_wrap().
- Use xmalloc() and xrealloc() to check return values.
- Fix invalid command line argument handling.
- Close memory leaks in parted.c and table.c.
- Fix warnings when compiling with translation support enabled.
- Use a consistent prompt when asking for a file system type.
- Update docs: don&apos;t reference old versions of gzip.

misc:
- Improve the testing framework in the tests/ subdirectory.  Build out more
  of the testing scripts so we can start using that to ensure we don&apos;t
  introduce regressions in releases.
- Support testing with tmpfs filesystems on Linux.
- Work around inadequate libreadline in the configure script.
- Don&apos;t include config.h from internal headers.
