[parted-devel] Announcing GNU parted-1.8.4

[LarryT]

About GParted : Can be compiled against parted-1.8.4 without any patch 
(for parted i mean) ! Nice !
I can't find any gparted crashes  like it did with parted-1.8.2. Neither 
with parted-1.8.3 : no crashes. Very nice !

Still have the problem with linux-swap : "Unable to read the contain of 
the fs".
But I know this is a gparted issue.

thx a bunch !
