Download Gnome Partition Editor 0.4.0

A new version of Gnome Partition Editor has been released today. With Gparted it is possible to partition a hard drive or change existing partitions. The program itself is not that big, but usually it is released in the form of a live CD which makes it possible to use it independently of the platform. However, the latest live CD that can now be picked up from Sourceforge still contains stable version 0.3.9-4 or test build 0.3.9-12, but hopefully that will change soon. Here’s what’s changed in this release:
