* Noteworthy changes in release 1.9.0 (????-??-??) [stable]
+** 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]
