14 DAY TRIAL // The GParted development team was happy to announce today, January 18, the release and immediate availability for download of the GParted 0.25.0 open-source partition editor software for GNU/Linux operating systems.
Prominent features of Gparted 0.25.0 include new progress bars that are displayed during various check and resize operations for the EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, and NTFS partitions, as well as better SWRaid filesystem clearing and member detection support.
Furthermore, GParted now always uses the blkid filesystem detection feature before the libparted library. The Dialog_Partition_New::Get_New_Partition() function has been rewritten, and a missing "old end" value has been added to the detail log of the Canadian translation.
"The big news with this GParted release is the addition of progress bars for checking and resizing ext2/3/4 partitions and for resizing ntfs partitions. Other changes include bug fixes and language translation updates," reads today's announcement.
In addition to the changes mentioned above, GParted 0.25.0 ships with a fix for the temporary path name of new disk partitions, and addresses an issue with partition names that could have been displayed as filesystem labels.
Last but not least, the website link in the About dialog was made non-clickable, and the tarball is now compressed with the gzip method. Download GParted 0.25.0 right now from our website or update it in the coming days from your distro's repositories.
