GParted News Item 144
14 July 2012: GParted Live 0.13.0-1 Stable Release

The GParted team is proud to announce a new stable release of GParted Live.

The most significant enhancement is with GParted 0.13.0, which now shows when there is a difference between the file system size and the partition size. Thanks to work by Mike Fleetwood this resolves bug #499202 that has been open since 2007. With this new feature, users can learn if there is unallocated space within a partition that can then be put to good use.

Another important application change is a fix for bug #678831 which resolves a problem with overlapping partitions when resizing an extended partition.

Also new in this release:

Adds web browser icon to desktop
Adds menu button keyboard shortcut to bring up Fluxbox root menu (bug #578842)
Useful when using GParted Live without a mouse
Updates Linux kernel to 3.2.21-3
Based on Debian Sid repository (as of 2012/Jul/14)
Includes new GParted 0.13.0 release

Thanks goes to Steven Shiau for another great GParted Live release.
