| - | The Parted Magic OS employs core programs of GParted and Parted to handle partitioning tasks with ease, while featuring other useful software (e.g. Partimage, TestDisk, Truecrypt, Clonezilla, G4L, SuperGrubDisk, ddrescue, etc...) and an excellent set of info to benefit the user. An extensive collection of file system tools are also included, as Parted Magic supports the following: btrfs, ext2, ext3, ext4, fat16, fat32, hfs, hfs+, jfs, linux-swap, ntfs, reiserfs, and xfs. Parted Magic requires at least a i586 processor and 312MB of RAM to operate or 175MB in "Live" mode.\\ | + | <html> |

| | + | Parted Magic is my full time job. I need money to pay bills and cover life's other surprises. Parted Magic has a huge home user and professional IT user following. Currently Parted Magic is downloaded more than 30,000 times per week from the Source Forge mirrors alone and greeted 1,850,718 unique visitors in 2012. To be honest, Parted Magic has always been a "do it on my spare time" project. Now that I'm working on this full time, you will see a far better product in the near future. So, to make a long story short, I need $300 per week in donations to make this happen. I believe that's a very modest salary based on Wisconsin minimum wage ($7.25) @ 40 hours per week. If you only have $1, that's just fine with me, every little bit helps. :) \\ |

| | + | === Parted Magic 2013_05_01 === |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | The Parted Magic project is proud to announce another stable release of the popular partitioning and system rescue environment. This has been by far the most ambitious release of Parted Magic to date. Take a look at all the new features and improvements!\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | EFI booting support from CDROM has been greatly improved.\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | Erase Disk has a new menu with translations.\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | f2fs-tools has been added. You an also create a f2fs with GParted. The GParted team graciously excepted our patch and merged it with version 0.16.0 of GParted.\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | A new "forcevesa" kernel command line option has been added. This works with cards like the MGA G200* series.\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | The Parted Magic Wipe Free Space GUI has been translated.\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | We have created a simple GTK+ GUI for chntpw. It should make changing Windows passwords much easier.\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | The Xorg Server has been upgraded to 1.14.1 with all the latest Xorg drivers.\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | SpaceFM now manages the desktop. You can now drag and drop icons to the desktop or /root/Desktop folders. The right click menu allows the creation of files and folders. That means you can keep your files on the desktop again. :)\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | Jeex and Hexedit have been added to the SpaceFM right click "Open" menu. This makes it much easier to edit files directly. "Open terminal here" and "Show hidden files" have also been added to the right click menu.\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | We have written a new program to help prepare USB drives for booting Parted Magic. It's called "USB Boot Flash". This code was based off "bootflash" from Puppy Linux.\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | Firefox has been upgraded to version 20.0.1.\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | We wrote a new program called "Parted Magic Mount" to replace mount-gtk.\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | The fstab daemon has been completely redesigned. It works much faster and it's a lot more accurate then it ever has been. Because of the new design it polls every 5 seconds instead of 10. If a change is detected, the device probe and fstab changes are made in about 1 second on most machines.\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | GParted has been upgraded to version 0.16.1. This version corrects the segfaults found in the 0.15.0 and 0.16.0 releases. It's been well tested by us and the GParted team.\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | Clonezilla has been upgraded to version 3.3.10 and DRBL to version 2.3.10.\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | There has also been a number of added programs: chkrootkit-0.49, gdmap-0.8.1, sg3_utils-1.35, jeex-12.0, xterm-291, rdesktop-1.7.1, putty-0.62, and f2fs-tools-1.1.0.\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | The Linux kernel has been upgraded to version 3.8.10 with reiser4 support.\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | The following programs have been removed: udisks, mount-gtk, Rox-filer, feh, and imlib.\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | See the changelog for a complete list of updated packages. There are a lot of them!\\ |
| | + | \\ |
| | + | Parted Magic donation program updates: March 2013, Testdisk receives $100. April 2013, Truecrypt receives $100. May 2013, hdparm receives $100.\\ |

There are some new programs too. They are dislocker, libdiscid-0.2.2, libsndfile-1.0.24, kmod-8, nmap-5.51. Parted Magic uses kmod-8 by default now instead of module-init-tools.
