parted-3.3 released [stable]
Item posted by Brian C. Lane <bcl> on Fri 11 Oct 2019 12:18:16 AM UTC.
Parted 3.3 has been released. This release includes many bug fixes and new features.
Here is Parted's home page:
http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/
For a summary of all changes and contributors, see:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parted.git/log/?h=v3.3
or run this command from a git-cloned parted directory:
git shortlog v3.2..v3.3 (appended below)
Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/parted-3.3.tar.xz

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:
gpg --verify parted-3.3.tar.xz.sig
If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it:
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 117E8C168EFE3A7F
and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
Autoconf 2.69
