- Update from version 1.0.9 to 1.0.10
- Update of rootfile not required
- Changelog
1.0.10
- Fixed problem that caused sgdisk to crash with errors about being unable
to read the disk's partition table when compiled with the latest popt
(commit 740, which is pre-release as I type; presumably version 1.19 and
later once released).
- Updated guid.cc to deal with minor change in libuuid.
- Fixed potential NULL derefernce bug in sgdisk. Thanks to Damian Kurek
for this fix.
- The partition number of "0" can now be used to reference newly-created
partitions when the --largest-new=0 option to sgdisk is used. Thanks to
David Joaquín Shourabi Porcel for this improvement.
- Make explicit casts in gptcurses.cc to eliminate compiler warnings about
mis-matched types in printw() statements.
- Minor code cleanup based on valgrind analysis.
- In previous versions, GPT fdisk accepted only integer values for partition
start points, end points, and sizes, and it interpreted decimal values
incorrectly. That is, if you typed "+9.5G" as the partition end point,
you'd end up with something just 9 sectors in size. This version now
truncates decimal numbers to their integral values, so you'd get a 9 GiB
partition instead.
- Changes to optimize disk handling, particularly on Windows, courtesy of
Frediano Ziglio.
- Added numerous new partition type codes from Discoverable Partitions
Specification
(https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/discoverable_partitions_specification/).
- Added new sgdisk -k/--move-backup-table and gdisk k (on the experts' menu)
option to relocate the backup partition table. This is the counterpart of
the sgdisk -j/--move-main-table and gdisk j (on the experts' menu) option
to move the main partition table. This code comes from Niklas Gollenstede.

- Update from version 1.0.8 to 1.0.9
- No rootfile required
- Changelog
1.0.9 (4/14/2022):
- Removed stray debugging code that caused "partNum is {x}" to be printed
when changing a partition's name with sgdisk (-c/--change-name).
- Added support for aligning partitions' end points, as well as their start
points. This support affects the default partition size when using 'n' in
gdisk; it affects the default partition size in cgdisk; and it's activated
by the new '-I' option in sgdisk. See the programs' respective man pages
for details. This feature is intended to help with LUKS2 encryption, which
reacts badly to partitions that are not sized as exact multiples of the
encryption block size.
- Added check for too-small disks (most likely to be an issue when trying
to use a too-small disk image); program now aborts if this happens.
- Added the ability to build sgdisk and cgdisk for Windows.
- Added new type codes:
* FreeBSD nandfs (0xa506)
* Apple APFS Pre-Boot (0xaf0b)
* Apple APFS Recovery (0xaf0c)
* ChromeOS firmware (0x7f03)
* ChromeOS mini-OS (0x7f04)
* ChromeOS hibernate (0x7f05)
* U-Boot boot loader (0xb000)
* 27 (!) codes for Fuchsia (0xf100 to 0xf11a)
- Fixed build problems with recent versions of ncurses.
- Fixed bug that caused cgdisk to report incorrect partition attributes.
- Consolidated Makefiles for Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, macOS, and Windows
(32- and 64-bit). The old OS-specific Makefiles remain in case the new
consolidated Makefile has problems, but the old ones are deprecated.
(The Solaris support in the new Makefile is untested.)

Historically, the MD5 checksums in our LFS files serve as a protection
against broken downloads, or accidentally corrupted source files.
While the sources are nowadays downloaded via HTTPS, it make sense to
beef up integrity protection for them, since transparently intercepting
TLS is believed to be feasible for more powerful actors, and the state
of the public PKI ecosystem is clearly not helping.
Therefore, this patch switches from MD5 to BLAKE2, updating all LFS
files as well as make.sh to deal with this checksum algorithm. BLAKE2 is
notably faster (and more secure) than SHA2, so the performance penalty
introduced by this patch is negligible, if noticeable at all.
In preparation of this patch, the toolchain files currently used have
been supplied with BLAKE2 checksums as well on
https://source.ipfire.org/.

Bumping across one of our scripts with very long trailing whitespaces, I
thought it might be a good idea to clean these up. Doing so, some
missing or inconsistent licence headers were fixed.
There is no need in shipping all these files en bloc, as their
functionality won't change.

Hi @ all
I have a new add-on here which I use e.g. to bring partitions from mbr to gpt without data loss.
It is also well suited for rescuing broken partitions.
GPT fdisk (consisting of the gdisk, cgdisk, sgdisk, and fixparts programs) is a set of text-mode partitioning tools for Linux,
FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Windows.
The gdisk, cgdisk, and sgdisk programs work on Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) Partition Table (GPT) disks,
rather than on the older (and once more common) Master Boot Record (MBR) partition tables.
The fixparts program repairs certain types of damage to MBR disks and enables changing partition types from
primary to logical and vice-versa.
