==============================================================================
2006-11-11  Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org>

        * autogen.sh: use -f on autopoint to ensure we have the files
        updated.

        * ltmain.sh, m4/*, po/Makefile.in.in, po/Rules-quot: those files
        has been removed since them are autogenerated or installed by
        autogen.sh.
        
        * configure.ac: add -rdynamic on CFLAGS.
        
2006-11-08  Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org>

        * doc/C/parted.8: small documentation simplification.

        * include/parted/device.h: Add PED_DEVICE_DM if device-mapper is
        enabled.
        * configure.ac: Conditionalize libdevmapper support so people that
        don't have that library can still build a mostly functional libparted.

2006-10-09  David Cantrell  <dcantrell@redhat.com>
        * po/*.po, po/parted.pot: Updated.

2006-10-06  David Cantrell  <dcantrell@redhat.com>
        * scripts/release/tarball_upload.sh: Since v1.0 directive files will
        no longer be supported by ftp-upload.gnu.org after 2006, modified the
        upload script to use the v1.1 format.

2006-10-06  David Cantrell  <dcantrell@redhat.com>
        * scripts/release/tarball_upload.sh: Support the -a (or --alpha) switch
        on the tarball upload script. This switch will upload the release to

2005-10-25  Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
* libparted/disk_mac.c (_disk_add_part_map_entry): the function didn't
  work when mac_disk_data->last_part_entry_num was null (when the only
  existing partition is the partition table and the user destroy it).

2005-10-24  Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
* parted/parted.c (prefer_snap): incorrectly chose MOVE_STILL instead
  of MOVE_UP or MOVE_DOWN if both weren't activated.

2005-10-15  Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
* libparted/filesys.c (_probe_with_open): The file system was considered
  valid if the open method was not implemented. Now openable file systems
  are considered first (if one and only one is successfully opened,
  return it), then if only one non openable file system is remaining,
  return it (else return NULL).

2005-10-14  Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
* libparted/disk_dos.c (_log_meta_overlap_constraint): ignore inactive
  partitions.
* parted/parted.c (snap_to_boundaries): didn't reliably work since the
  range is variable, complete rewrite.
* parted/parted.c (try_snap): was called by snap_to_boundaries, removed.
* parted/parted.c (prefer_snap): new function called by snap_to_boundaries,
  detect if the sector should be snaped to the begining of the partition
  it belongs to, or to the end.

2005-10-13  Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
* libparted/disk_gpt.c (add_metadata_part): don't forget to free the
  constraint if adding the metadata partition failed.

2005-10-04  Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
* doc/parted.texi: Unit command description added, based on what
  was previously in 2.2 Using GNU Parted (which has been replaced
  by a reference to the unit command...). Also various fixes in
  @copying layout and some typos fixes.

2005-10-03  Otavio Salvador <otavio@debian.org>
* po/es.po: updated
        
2005-10-03  Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
Applied patch from Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>:
* libparted/linux.c (_device_get_part_path): check for devfs-style /disc
  without even testing if _have_devfs(), because udev can be used instead
  with the same behavior.

2005-10-02  Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
Applied patch from Matt Zimmerman <mdz@debian.org>:
* include/parted/device.h: PED_DEVICE_UBD added in PedDeviceType.
* libparted/linux.c (_device_probe_type): recognize UML UBD devices.

* libparted/disk_sun.c (sun_read): bugfix - recognize partitions on sun
  disklabel.

2005-08-22  Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
* libparted/disk_dos.c (_align_logical_no_geom): removed
  _calc_min_logical_start() and use a true constraint instead, generated by
  the new _log_meta_overlap_constraint(). This constraint should enforce
  necessary gaps between logical partitions to fit the linked list of
  partition tables. This should get ride of the infamous Assertion
  (metadata_length > 0) failed bug for extended msdos disklabels generated
  by Parted.
* libparted/disk_dos.c (_align_logical): also use
  _log_meta_overlap_constraint() as mandatory.

2005-07-11  Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
CHANGE SUMMARY:
        HFSX and journaled HFS+ / HFSX now supported.
        The HFS+ / HFSX allocation bitmap is saved during relocation.
        This is safer.
* libparted/fs_hfs/*: cosmetic changes in ped_exception_throw calls.
* libparted/fs_hfs/journal.c: added.
* libparted/fs_hfs/journal.h: added.
* libparted/fs_hfs/Makefile.am: journal.c and journal.h added.
* libparted/fs_hfs/cache.h: new tags for journal info block (CR_BTREE_CAT_JIB)
  and journal (CR_BTREE_CAT_JL)
* libparted/fs_hfs/hfs.h: journal structs (HfsJJournalInfoBlock, 
  HfsJJournalHeader, HfsJBlockInfo, HfsJBlockListHeader) described.
  HFSJ_JOURN_IN_FS, HFSJ_JOURN_OTHER_DEV, HFSJ_JOURN_NEED_INIT,
  HFSJ_HEADER_MAGIC, HFSJ_ENDIAN_MAGIC, HFSX_CASE_FOLDING, HFSX_BINARY_COMPARE
  added.
  Fields dirty_alloc_map, allocation_file, jib_start_block, jl_start_block of
  HfsPPrivateFSData added.
* libparted/fs_hfs/hfs.c (hfsplus_open): allocate dirty_alloc_map and open
  allocation_file. Do not emit the warning exception about untested attributes
  file anymore.
  (hfsplus_close): free dirty_alloc_map and close allocation_file.
  New HFSX descriptors hfsx_ops && hfsx_type.
  (ped_file_system_hfs_init, ped_file_system_hfs_done): (un)register HFSX.
* libparted/fs_hfs/reloc.c (hfs_effect_move_extent): don't save the allocation
  map anymore.
  (hfs_move_extent_starting_at): save it here.
* libparted/fs_hfs/reloc_plus.c (hfsplus_do_move): handle journal and bitmap 
  reloc.
  (hfsplus_move_extent_starting_at): call to the new hfsplus_save_allocation
  added.
* libparted/fs_hfs/probe.c, libparted/fs_hfs/probe.h: hfsx_probe added.
* libparted/disk_mac.c (mac_partition_set_system): HFSX support.
* doc/parted.texi: updated documentation to reflect new journaled and hfsx
  capabilities.

2005-07-10  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* libparted/disk.c (_partition_check, _partition_check_extended): replaced
  a specific start<=end sanity check in _partition_check_extended with
  a generic assertion in _partition_check.
* libparted/parted.c (_ped_abs, _solution_check_distant, _get_left_bound,
  _get_right_bound, _grow_over_small_freespace): removed and replaced with
  snap_to_boundaries() et al:
* libparted/parted.c (snap_to_boundaries, try_snap, snap): these functions
  do similar things to the functions above that they replace, except that
  they constrain themselves by the recently introduced unit-specific ranges
  rather than "small" magic numbers.  In addition, it will snap to an
  existing partition boundary to avoid consuming slightly more free space.
  (So, it could possibly shrink or grow)
* libparted/disk.c (ped_disk_add_partition, ped_disk_set_partition_geom):
  these functions now deduce if a there are no constraint solutions because of
  overlapping problems, and throws an appropriate exception.  This means
  that lots of "Unable to satisfy constraints" messages will be replaced
  with "Can't have overlapping partitions" messages where appropriate.
* po/pl.po: updated.

2005-07-06  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* po/POTFILES.in: added libparted/fs_hfs/* and libparted/unit.c.
* po/vi.po: added (thanks to Tran Thi Hoang Quyen!)
* configure.in: added vi (Vietnamese) to the language list.
* po/ja.po po/nl.po: updated.
* libparted/disk_dvh (dvh_alloc, _handle_no_volume_header,
  _get_extended_constraint): make the volume header partition include
  the first sector of the disk (which contains the partition table.)
* libparted/disk_dvh (_handle_no_volume_header): removed the Ignore option
  for disks without a volume header partition.
* libparted/disk_dvh (_get_primary_constraint, _get_extended_constraint):
  don't align to cylinder boundaries any more.
* libparted/fs_ext2/ext2_block_relocator.c: added some comments.

* libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_parse_custom, geometry_from_centre_radius):
  move out-of-disk detection into geometry_from_centre_radius(), because
  the tolerance level depends on the radius.
* libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_parse_custom): clip the sector inside the
  disk, if it passed the geometry_from_centre_radius() tolerance check.
* libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_format_custom): round to the nearest unit.
* libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_format_custom): format cylinders separately,
  because they shouldn't be rounded.
* libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_parse_custom): start counting at -1, so that
  -0 is past the end of the disk.
* libparted/constraint.c (ped_constraint_solve_nearest): it is not a bug
  to have no end solution.
* libparted/constraint.c (_constraint_get_end_range): fixed an out-by-1
  error on the length sanity check.
* libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_parse_custom): reduce the radius by 1.
  This means a location is fuzzy only to strictly less than the unit
  size.

2005-07-03  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* include/parted/unit.h: rearranged the order of prototypes, and changed
  some formatting.
* libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_get_size, get_sectors_per_cent, remove_punct):
  rearranged order of functions.
* libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_format_custom): rewrote more compactly,
  using ped_unit_get_name().
* libparted/unit.c (parse_chs, ped_unit_parse_custom): moved CHS parsing
  into a new separate function.
* libparted/unit.c (parse_unit_suffix, ped_unit_parse_custom): moved
  the unit parsing code into a separate new function.
* libparted/unit.c (ped_unit_parse_custom): restructed error handling.

2005-06-12  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* libparted/disk_dos.c (probe_partition_for_geom): some OEM partitioning
  software (?) has an out-by-one error for numbering the ending cylinder
  of partitions.  This change supresses any exceptions, and treats the
  CHS information as if the correct information had been given.

2005-06-11  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* libparted/disk_dos.c (probe_partition_for_geom): the old code couldn't

* libparted/disk_mac.c (_rawpart_is_active): empty partition names with
  the type "Apple_Free" can also be free space partitions.

2005-06-02  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* libparted/fs_fat/fat.c (fat_check): typecast -1 to (FatCluster).  (gcc
  complains otherwise)

  rather than the raw input.

2005-05-14  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>

  even if some logical partitions are mounted.

2005-03-29  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* everything: more punctuation / grammatical fixes from Benno Schulenberg
  <benno@nietvergeten.nl>.
* libparted/disk_dvh.c (_handle_no_volume_header): only give a lax
  constraint on the new volume header.  (Previously, if there wasn't
  much space, then the volume header would not be created.  Now, a smaller
  one gets created.)
* libparted/disk_dvh.c (_parse_partition, _generate_partition): retire the
  hack in which the start of the volume header was temporarily represented
  as 1 rather than 0.
* libparted/disk_dvh.c (_get_strict_extended_constraint): added.
* libparted/disk_dvh.c (dvh_partition_align): allow the volume header
  (extended partition) to begin on sector 0 in both strict and lax
  constraint forms.

* libparted/device.c:  Functions named things like read, write, and check
  can be implemented as macros which will get expanded here and cause
  problems.  Surround the names with parentheses to prevent macro expansion.
* libparted/linux.c (_mount_table_search):  Ignore sccanf result.

2005-03-11  Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
* libparted/fs_hfs/hfs.c, libparted/fs_hfs/reloc.c,
  libparted/fs_hfs/reloc_plus.c: Make use of ped_geometry_sync_fast in hfs
  and hfs+ code.

2005-03-08  Chris Lumens  <clumens@redhat.com>
* libparted/disk_amiga.c, libparted/disk_gpt.c, libparted/disk_pc98.c,
  libparted/disk_sun.c, libparted/linux.c, libparted/fs_hfs/reloc.c:  Fix up
  unsigned char vs. char compiler warnings.

2005-03-07  Chris Lumens  <clumens@redhat.com>
* libparted/disk_mac.c: support LVM on PPC by setting the proper flags on the
  partition (patch from Paul Nasrat <pnasrat@redhat.com>).

2005-03-06  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* libparted/disk_sun.c: many changes, including:
        - replaced hw_geom with bios_geom.
        - disk_specific->length is now set to cylinder_size * label->ncyl.
        - label->acyl is now set to 0 by default.

2005-03-05  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* doc/parted.8: changed "mips" to "dvh" to be consistent with the Parted
  user interface.
* doc/parted.texi: added http:// and ftp:// onto some URLs.

2005-03-04  Chris Lumens <clumens@redhat.com>
* libparted/fs_fat/context.c: fix casting typo.
* include/parted/constraint.h, libparted/constraint.c: remove
  ped_constraint_none that wasn't being referenced anywhere.

2005-03-04  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* libparted/fs_fat/count.c (flag_traverse_fat): in the assignment to
  cluster_info [clst].units_used, store 0, rather than 64.  The code
  has the same semantics, but no gcc4 compiler warning.  (0 == 64 when
  you use 6-bit integers; 0 is interpreted as 64 in all relevant code)
  (problem reported by Chris Lumens <clumens@redhat.com>)

2005-02-19  Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
* libparted/fs_hfs/hfs.c (hfs_resize): do nothing when nothing to do.
* libparted/fs_hfs/hfs.c (hfsplus_resize): do nothing when nothing to do.
* libparted/fs_hfs/hfs.c (hfsplus_open): leak in the error handling code
  corrected.

2005-02-17  Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>
* include/parted/device.h (_PedDeviceArchOps): field sync_fast added.
* include/parted/device.h (ped_device_sync_fast): added.
* include/parted/geom.h (ped_geometry_sync_fast): added.
* libparted/device.c (ped_device_sync_fast): added.
* libparted/geom.c (ped_geometry_sync_fast): added.
* libparted/gnu.c (gnu_dev_ops): sync_fast pointing to gnu_sync added.
* libparted/linux.c (linux_sync_fast): added.
* libparted/linux.c (linux_dev_ops): sync_fast pointing to linux_sync_fast
  added.
* doc/API : new ped_device_sync_fast and ped_geometry_sync_fast API
  documented.

2005-02-14  Chris Lumens <clumens@redhat.com>
* parted/parted.c : on the help for the mkfs, mkpart, and resize commands,
  only list filesystem types that are supported

2005-02-02  Guillaume Knispel <k_guillaume@libertysurf.fr>

  "Apple_HFS" if the filesystem is "hfs+" in addition to "hfs"
* debug/test/test_fs_hfs : new non-regression tests for hfs
* debug/test/test_fs_hfsplus : new non-regression tests for hfs+
* debug/test/test (ped_test_get_val): allow bash evaluation of $post_command

2005-01-16  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* released 1.6.21

2005-01-10  Sven Luther <luther@debian.org>
* libparted/disk.c, doc/parted.texi : renamed prep-boot prep partition name to
  prep.

2005-01-08  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* libparted/linux.c (linux_disk_commit): if the BLKPG method fails, try
  the BLKRRPART method.

2005-01-06  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_write): put in a unique identifier (which
  is misleadingly called the "MBR signature" by Microsoft docs and
  EFI specs).  Based on a patch by Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>.

2005-01-05  Sven Luther <luther@debian.org>
* include/parted/endian.h : fixed PED_SWAP macros missing (), since it broke
  on 64bit hardware as shown in the PED_CPU_TO_BE32(part ? part_num : LINK_END)
  code snipplet, which applied the uint32 cast to part, and not the value.
* libparted/disk_amiga.c, libparted/fs_amiga/amiga.c : Added some uint32 casts.

2005-01-05  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* libparted/disk_sun.c (sun_alloc, sun_read, sun_write): fixed
  cylinder recording stuff.  pcylcount is now 2 more, and ncyl is now
  2 less than it was before.
* libparted/filesys.c (ped_file_system_clobber): removed a useless
  (always-thrown) assertion for file system support for clobbering.

2004-12-26  Harley D. Eades III  <hde@grics.net>
* libparted/gnu.c (gnu_new): Added three new variables ro_err, rw_err and
  ispath.  The ispath variables is set to 1 if path is indeed a path and not a
  store type name.  This prevents having to use strchr more then once.  Added
  a check for determining if the inputted path is a path and not a store-type
  name.  If (const char *)path is a path then use store_open (). If (const
  char *)path is a store-type name use store_typed_open ().

2004-12-21  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* libparted/linux.c (_disk_sync_part_table): removed duplicate error message.

2004-12-19  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* libparted/linux.c (_device_get_part_path): only treat the device as
  devfs if it has /disc on the end.
* libparted/linux.c (_partition_get_part_dev): added.
* libparted/linux.c (_partition_is_mounted_by_dev ): added.
* libparted/linux.c (_partition_is_mounted): now uses
  _partition_is_mounted_by_dev().  This is more reliable than guessing
  the partition's device name.
* libparted/linux.c (_device_probe_type): sets the type to
  PED_DEVICE_UNKNOWN on block devices that don't fall into the
  standard categories.  This makes libparted correctly update
  the kernel's view of partition tables, etc.

2004-12-18  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* libparted/disk_dos.c (probe_partition_for_geom): improved heuristic
  for finding broken partition tables: test if any feasible solution
  geometry exists against the end cylinder rather than 1024.  This
  heuristic now has fewer false negatives and no false positives.

2004-12-18  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_probe): look for SBML signature at offset 0x40,
  rather than 0x39.  (oops!)
* libparted/disk_amiga.c: added (from Sven Luther)
  Note: I did some cleanups, added assertions, etc.
* libparted/fs_amiga/affs.c: added.
* libparted/fs_amiga/affs.h: added.
* libparted/fs_amiga/amiga.c: added.
* libparted/fs_amiga/amiga.h: added.
* libparted/fs_amiga/apfs.c: added.
* libparted/fs_amiga/apfs.h: added.
* libparted/fs_amiga/asfs.c: added.
* libparted/fs_amiga/asfs.h: added.
* libparted/fs_amiga/interface.c: added.
* released 1.6.20

2004-12-14  Harley D. Eades III  <hde@grics.net>
* libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_probe): Fixed typo changed strcmp to
  strncmp.
        
2004-12-08  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* libparted/disk_dvh.c (_generate_boot_file): zero out the boot file name
  record before writing the name in.  Previously, there was a misplaced
  null-terminator that caused gcc to complain.

2004-12-04  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* libparted/filesys.c (ped_file_system_resize, ped_file_system_copy):
  only attempt to check file systems if checking is implemented for
  that file system type.

2004-11-29  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* libparted/fs_fat/bootsector.c (fat_boot_sector_analyse): when correcting
  the boot sector, use fat_boot_sector_write() to make sure the backup
  copy gets written (if applicable).
* libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_probe): don't treat Smart Boot Manager Loader
  boot blocks as FAT file systems.

2004-11-28  Sven Luther <luther@debian.org>
* libparted/disk_dos.c: Added support for the prep-boot partition type.

2004-11-28  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* libparted/fs_fat/boot_sector.c (fat_boot_sector_analyse): if the
  file system's CHS geometry is insane, then let the user fix it.
  This is important, because Linux refuses to mount FAT file systems
  with insane CHS geometry.  Moreover, a few recent versions of Parted
  wrote some insane values here, so this allows users to fix the damage.
* released 1.6.19

2004-11-22  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* parted/ui.c (_construct_prompt): previously forgot to assign "prompt = ..."
  in a realloc_and_cat() call.  Patch from Woody Suwalski <woodys@xandros.com>

2004-11-21  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* libparted/linux.c (linux_new): get rid of pointless exception for
  exotic block devices.
* configure.in, libparted/fs_reiserfs/reiserfs.c (reiserfs_fs_check):
  applied patch by Yury to do a proper file system check.

2004-11-20  Andrew Clausen <clausen@gnu.org>
* libparted/disk_dos.c (probe_partition_for_geom): don't attempt
  to infer geometry from a partition whose end can't possibly be addressed
  with CHS (regardless of the CHS geometry).
* libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_read): initialize bios_geom to the old
  value, in case no better geometry can be found.
* released 1.6.18
* libparted/disk_gpt.c (_generate_header): changed a misleading comment
  "per 1.02 spec" -> "per 1.00 spec".
* libparted/disk_mac.c (mac_duplicate): don't create a partition map
  entry - leave that for later.
* libparted/disk_dos.c (msdos_read): avoid infinite recursion.
