ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES from 2.8.1-12
- The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2022/May/22).
- Linux kernel was updated to 5.17.6-1.
- Partclone was updated to 0.3.20.
- This release supports APFS (Apple File System) imaging/cloning now.
- Add LUKS support. Basically a better mechanism than dd is implemented. //NOTE// It's recommended to encrypt the image when saving the LUKS device.
- Update language files de_DE, el_GR, es_ES, fr_FR, ja_JP, hu_HU, pl_PL and sk_SK. Thanks to Michael Vinzenz, Stamatis Mavrogeorgis, Juan Ramón Martínez, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Akira Yoshiyama, Greg, kris and Ondrej Dzivý Balucha.
- Add wavemon, memtester, edac-utils, shc and uml-utilities in the live system.
- Remove s3ql from the live system.
- A better mechanism was implemented to check GPT/MBR format of a disk. This is a workaround to deal with ChromeOS Flex partition table. Ref: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2022-04/msg00001.html
- https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/688ce74fb1
- Add the dummy option "-k0" for creating partition in ocs-sr and ocs-onthefly. It's the same as default action. Just easier for us to explain.
- Add memtester in the uEFI boot menu.
- Boot parameter use_os_prober="no" now skips running os-prober. Thanks to Bernard Michaud for this idea. Ref:
- https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/b96b4eee21/?limit=25#d97b
- Add a mechanism to skip using devices list cache. If the boot parameter use_dev_list_cache=no in the boot parameter, then the devices list cache mechanism won't be used.
BUG FIXES
- Show the prompt that ocs-iso & ocs-live-dev can not be run in netboot env. Thanks to Constantino Michailidis. Ref:
- https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/patches/19/
- Fixed the issue that update-efi-nvram-boot-entry created empty boot menu.
- Program pixz has no option to stdout with "-d". Therefore program pixz was replaced by xz since using "-T 0" works the same. Thanks to nurupo for reporting this issue.*
