Download Gnome Partition Editor 0.3.9

Yesterday a new version of the Gnome Partition Editor was released. With Gparted it is possible to partition a hard drive or change existing partitions. The program itself isn’t that big, but it usually comes in the form of a live CD, which makes it cross-platform compatible. However, the latest live CD available for download from SourceForge currently still contains version 0.3.7-7 (stable) or 0.3.8-9 (testing), but hopefully that will change soon. Here’s what’s changed in this release:

• Reduced time to move or copy partitions
• Added ability to create and check hfs+ file systems

• Enhanced block size algorithm to reduce move and copy times (#546423)

• Enhanced to use gksu to invoke gparted if available (#381557)
