[parted-devel] parted-3.4 released [stable]

[Brian C. Lane]

Parted 3.4 has been released.  This release includes many bug fixes and new features.

Here is Parted's home page:

    http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/

For a summary of all changes and contributors, see:
  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parted.git/log/?h=v3.4

or run this command from a git-cloned parted directory:
  git shortlog v3.3..v3.4 (appended below)

Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]:
  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/parted-3.4.tar.xz
  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/parted-3.4.tar.xz.sig

Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
  https://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify parted-3.4.tar.xz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 117E8C168EFE3A7F

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
  Autoconf 2.69
  Automake 1.16.1
  Gettext 0.21
  Gnulib v0.1-4131-g252c4d944a
  Gperf 3.1
