The stable channel of the Clonezilla Live Linux distribution, an open source operating system designed for hard disk drive cloning operations, has been updated to version 2.2.3-25, as announced by its developer, Steven Shiau.

This stable build of Clonezilla Live comes a day after the unstable channel of the distribution was updated with the same version number, which means that it includes the same major enhancements and bug fixes.

According to the official changelog, Clonezilla Live 2.2.3-25 is now powered by Linux kernel 3.14.7 and updates its Debian base to the upstream Debian Sid repository as of June 1, 2014.

The Clonezilla and DRBL (Diskless Remote Boot in Linux) software have been updated to version 3.10.26-drbl1 and 2.9.9-drbl1, respectively. In addition, the Syslinux bootloader has been updated to version 6.03 Pre17.

Furthermore, the makeboot.sh script has been patched to support the XFS, UFS, and FFS filesystems, the Spanish, German, French, Catalan, Italian, Japanese, and Slovak translations have been updated, and the “ocs-img-2-vdk” program has been added, allowing users to easily convert Clonezilla images as virtual disk files in the qcow2 and vmdk formats via KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine).
