+** Bug fixes
+
+    parted now preserves the protective MBR (PMBR) in GPT type labels.
+    http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/2008-December/\
+      002473.html
+    http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2008-12/msg00015.html
+
+    gpt_read now uses SizeOfPartitionEntry instead of the size of
+    GuidPartitionEntry_t.  This ensures that *all* of the partition
+    entries are correctly read.
+    http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/2008-December/\
+      002465.html
+    http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/attachments/\
+      20081202/b7c0528d/attachment.txt
+
+    mklabel (interactive mode) now correctly asks for confirmation, when
+    replacing an existent label, without outputting an error message.
+    http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/2009-January/\
+      002739.html
+
+    resize now handles FAT16 file systems with a 64k cluster.  This
+    configuration is not common, but it is possible.
+    http://parted.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/ticket/207
+
+    parted now ignores devices of the type /dev/md* when probing.  These
+    types of devices should be handled by the device-mapper capabilities
+    of parted.
+    http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/2009-April/\
+      002781.html
+
+    The parted documentation now describes the differences in the options
+    passed to mkpart for the label types.
+    http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/2009-April/\
+      002782.html
+
+** Changes in behavior
+
+    include/parted/beos.h, include/parted/gnu.h and include/parted/linux.h
+    have been removed.  The symbols contained in these files (GNUSpecific,
+    ped_device_new_from_store, BEOSSpecific, LinuxSpecific,  LINUX_SPECIFIC)
+    were moved to the individual files that need them.
+
 
 * Noteworthy changes in release 1.8.8.1 (2007-12-17) [stable]
