[parted-devel] parted-1.8.0rc2 available

[David Cantrell]

OK, I haven't heard any negative comments on the /dev/mapper patch and 
since it fixes the problem I see reported here:

	http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317262

I'm including it in rc2 for testing.  You can download 1.8.0rc2 from here:

	ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/parted

This rc includes:

	- UI improvements (display more disk info)
	- /dev/mapper read/write support via libdevmapper
	- Fix compile problems on Slackware
	- Fix geometry read problem seen on 64-bit Macs
	- Handle disk_types==NULL in ped_register_disk_type()
	- Handle type not in list in ped_unregister_disk_type()

Please test and report any bugs.  We're getting closer to 1.8.0 final!
