GNU parted 1.8.6 addresses a problem with the linux-swap filesystem
type.  A change was introduced that created the linux-swap(new) and
linux-swap(old) filesystem types.  This change is still present in our
development branch, but deemed not appropriate for our stable tree, so
we have reverted to the previous usage of 'linux-swap' as the filesystem
type to maintain compatibility with other projects.

You can download GNU parted 1.8.6 from ftp.gnu.org in the /gnu/parted
directory.  Archives are available as tar+gzip or tar+bz2 files.

   ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/parted-1.8.6.tar.gz
   ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/parted-1.8.6.tar.bz2

The SHA-1 digest of the archives are available in <filename>.sha1 files
in the same directory.

Please see the parted web site at http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/
for the latest new, mailing list instructions, and bug reporting
information.

Thanks,
