• Noteworthy changes in release 3.3 (2019-10-10) [stable]

• Noteworthy changes in release 3.2.153 (2019-08-12) [alpha]

Parted now recognizes NVMe devices, NVDIMM, and RAM drives.

Bug Fixes

Fix atari disklabel false positives by probing other labels first.

Fix resizepart to adjust the end to be -1 sector when using iec power of 2 units so that the next partition can start immediately following the new end, just like mkpart does.

Fix set and disk_set to not crash when there are no flags to set.

Fix a udev cookie leak when using resizepart on device-mapper devices.

Fix a gettext crash/error sometimes when using localized languages.

Fix fat resize to preverve boot code, and thus not render the filesystem unreconized by Windows.

Fix rescue command: the rescue command often failed to find filesystems due to leaving on cylinder alignment.

libparted-fs-resize: Prevent crash resizing FAT file systems with very deep directories with path names over 512 bytes long.

Use 512b sector size when communicating with device-mapper. Fixes problems with partitions being created too small on dm devices with sector sizes > 5121b

Don't crash in the disk_set command when a disk label is not found

libparted-fs-resize: Prevent crash resizing FAT16 file systems.

libparted-fs-resize: Prevent crash resizing FAT16 file systems.

If the user specifies start/end of the partition as cylinders and a cylinder has a size which is power of 2, then such address does not trigger exact placement.

mkpart: Allow negative start value when FS-TYPE is not given
