GParted News Item 164

Since the release of GParted 0.16.0, we have discovered another potential issue with timing and multiple threads. This issue appears to occur on older GNU/Linux distributions. In fact the issue was not apparent in our testing of GParted 0.16.0 on recent distros.

For more details see Bug 695279 - GParted doesn't compile on RHEL / CentOS 5.9.

As a precaution we plan to keep GParted Live 0.16.0-1 in the testing directory while we work towards a fix for this newly identified issue.

Until this problem is resolved we continue to advise using the last stable release of GParted Live, which is GParted Live 0.14.1-6.
