[Steven S. <st...@nc...>]

Clonezilla live 1.2.4-28 is planned as the next stable release on Mar 
24, 2010

    This release of Clonezilla live includes major enhancements, bug 
fixes, and language translation updates.
  
MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS:
    * New file system support: UFS of FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD. It has 
been tested successfully for imaging FreeBSD 8.0, OpenBSD 4.6 and NetBSD 
5.0.2.
    * New file system support: VMFS of VMWare ESX.
    * XZ/Lzip compression, and parallel compression, pxz and plzip, were 
added. You can choose "-z5", "-z5p", "-z6" or "-z6p" in the expert mode. 
If your machine has multi-core CPU, please use the i686 version of 
Clonezilla live then the -z5p and -z6p options are available in the 
expert mode.
    * Now both syslinux and isolinux are included in Clonezilla live iso 
and zip file. This will avoid confusing.


BUG FIXES
   * Delay unmounting the Windows partition when removing hibernation 
ans page files. since the mounted partition was not aware so fast. This 
should fix this "partition busy error": 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/drbl/forums/forum/394007/topic/3559920
   * Delay unmounting the testing grub partition, since on some of the 
GNU/Linux distributions, the mounted ntfs partition was not aware so 
fast. This should fix this "ntfsfixboot I/O error issue": 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/drbl/forums/forum/394007/topic/3559920
   * Improve all the scripts by avoiding use "rm -rf" as most as possible.
   * "nosplash" was appended in failsafe mode and safe graphic mode so 
that Clonezilla usplash won't be started by default.
   * A workaround was added in prep-ocsroot to ensure module nfs will be 
loaded when mounting nfs4 server.
   * Some other minor bugs were fixed.

LANGUAGE TRANSLATION UPDATES
   * All the language files were updated. Thanks to Juan Ramon Martinez, 
Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Gianfranco Gentili, Annie Wei, Akira YOSHIYAMA 
and Zhiqiang Zhang.
