* Noteworthy changes in release ?.? (????-??-??) [?]
+** New features
+
+ parted has improved support for partitionable loopback devices
+
+** Bug fixes
+
+ parted now exits nonzero for certain failures already diagnosed as "Error".
+ For example, before this change, parted would exit successfully in spite
+ of "Error: ...unrecognised disk label" and "Error:... both GPT primary
+ and backup partition tables are corrupted".
+
+ libparted: gpt_disk_duplicate now copies the flags over to the new
+ disk object. Previously the flags would be undefined.
+
+ libparted can now read partition tables with a number of partition
+ array entries that is different from the default of 128. Before,
+ it would fail to recognize them and could even read beyond the end
+ of a heap-allocated buffer.
+
+ libparted: no longer aborts (failed assertion) due to a nilfs2_probe bug
+ [bug introduced in parted-2.4 with the addition of nilfs2 support]
+
+ libparted: no longer aborts when reading a truncated GPT-formatted device
+ [bug present at least as far back as RHEL4's parted-1.6.19]
+
+ libparted: works with a two-component linux kernel version number like 3.0
+ [bug present since the beginning]
+
+ libparted: strengthen the pc98 test so that it is much less likely to
+ cause an MSDOS partition table to be mistakenly identified as pc98.
+ [bug present since the beginning]
+
+ libparted no longer gets a failed assertion when probing a partition
+ with an HFS or HFS+ signature, but with invalid ->total_blocks and/or
+ ->block_size values.
+
+** Changes in behavior
+
+ parted: mkpart command has changed semantics with regard to specifying end
+ of the partition. If the end is specified using MiB, GiB, etc. unit, parted
+ subtracts one sector from the specified value. With this change, it is now
+ possible to create partitions like 1MiB-2MiB, 2MiB-3MiB and so on.
+
+** Build-related
+
+ "make dist" no longer builds .tar.gz files.
+ xz is portable enough and in wide-enough use that distributing
+ only .tar.xz files is enough.
+
+
+* Noteworthy changes in release 3.0 (2011-05-30) [stable]
+
** Bug fixes
Fix numerous small leaks in both the library and the UI.
