GParted News Item 203

The GParted team is pleased to announce a new stable release of GParted Live.

This release enables the eject CD media prompt when shutting down GParted Live. Also included are patches for libparted for FAT file system operations.

Items of note include:

• Based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2016/Jul/21)
• Linux kernel updated to 4.6.4-1
• Enable ejecting CD feature (bug 768964)
• Includes patched version of libparted which fixes:
  • check FAT32 crashes (bug 762448)
  • resized FAT32 not recognized by Windows (bug 759916)

This release of GParted Live has been successfully tested on VirtualBox, VMware, BIOS, UEFI, and physical computers with AMD/ATI, NVidia, and Intel graphics.

NOTE: VirtualBox workarounds: To boot in BIOS mode choose GParted Live "KMS mode", and to fix window manager issues right-click desktop and choose "fluxbox menu -> Restart". See Bug 761343 - GParted LiveCD won't start on VirtualBox... except with EFI enabled.
