gptfdisk-1.0.9

[Bruce Dubbs]

New point version.

• Removed stray debugging code that caused "partNum is {x}" to be printed when changing a partition's name with sgdisk (-c/--change-name).

• Added support for aligning partitions' end points, as well as their start points. This support affects the default partition size when using 'n' in gdisk; it affects the default partition size in cgdisk; and it's activated by the new '-I' option in sgdisk. See the programs' respective man pages for details. This feature is intended to help with LUKS2 encryption, which reacts badly to partitions that are not sized as exact multiples of the encryption block size.

• Added check for too-small disks (most likely to be an issue when trying to use a too-small disk image); program now aborts if this happens.

• Added the ability to build sgdisk and cgdisk for Windows.

• Added new type codes:
  • FreeBSD nandfs (0xa506)
  • Apple APFS Pre-Boot (0xaf0b)
  • Apple APFS Recovery (0xaf0c)
  • ChromeOS firmware (0x7f03)
  • ChromeOS mini-OS (0x7f04)
  • ChromeOS hibernate (0x7f05)
  • U-Boot boot loader (0xb000)
  • 27 (!) codes for Fuchsia (0xf100 to 0xf11a)

• Fixed build problems with recent versions of ncurses.

• Fixed bug that caused cgdisk to report incorrect partition attributes.

• Consolidated Makefiles for Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, macOS, and Windows (32- and 64-bit). The old OS-specific Makefiles remain in case the new consolidated Makefile has problems, but the old ones are deprecated. (The Solaris support in the new Makefile is untested.)
