[parted-devel] GNU fdisk 0.9

[leslie.polzer at gmx.net]

I am very happy to announce the initial release of GNU fdisk. This
release is numbered 0.9, marking its closeness to production stability
while still emphasizing that it hasn't been tested by a large audience
yet.


Description
===========
GNU fdisk aims to replace various UNIX operating
systems' legacy partitioning tools with libparted-based ones that mimic
the interface of those tools.

Currently implemented are alternatives to the following programs:

  o util-linux ``fdisk''
  o util-linux ``cfdisk''

The latter one thanks to Milko Krachounov, who worked on it as Google
Summer of Code project.  The original author of the util-linux
``fdisk'' clone is Harley D. Eades.
