Topic: Development Plans for the Next Release of GParted (0.28.1)

With the next release of GParted we plan to fix bugs in GParted.

GParted 0.28.1 is planned for release on February 17, 2017.

Candidates under consideration include:

Done? - Bug# - Description
Yes - Bug 778003 - The "Label File System" dialog is too small
Refael Sheinker has provided a patch set.

Yes - Bug 778628 - Work around automake-1.15 & intltool complaining about translations in build dir
Curtis Gedak has provided a patch.

Yes - Bug 778700 - Unable to grow partition even though unallocated space is adjacent
Curtis Gedak has provided a patch.

No - Bug 627701 - option to encrypt new partitions (using LUKS)
Mike Fleetwood is working on this enhancement.

No - Bug 688883 - Improve SSD handling by using TRIM
Mike Fleetwood is working on this enhancement.

No - Bug 755429 - Add read-only display of LVM volume groups and logical volumes
Wrolf Courtney is working on this enhancement.

Massimiliano Ghilardi is working on this enhancement.

no - Bug 673166 - NTFS partition trashed when resized to minimum size
Vladimir Panteleev has provided a patch.
Because there have been no other reports of this issue since 2012, the problem is either extremely rare or has been fixed in upstream ntfs-3g and this work-around patch is not required.
