[Clonezilla-release] Stable Clonezilla live (2.2.1-25) Released

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

This release of Clonezilla live (2.2.1-25) includes major enhancements 
and bug fixes.
*** ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES ***
     * The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This 
release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2014/Jan/13).
     * Linux kernel was updated to 3.12.6-2.
     * Partclone was updated to 0.2.69.drbl1. Bugs about reiser4 and 
btrfs have been fixed.
     * Syslinux was updated to 6.03-pre1. This should fix a boot issue 
on some BIOS machine, e.g. Acer Aspire One.
     * Package drbl was updated to 2.7.18-drbl1, and clonezilla was 
updated to 3.9.10-drbl1.
     * The output of blkid will be saved in the image dir as blkid.list.
     * Packages bcache-tools and chntpw were added.
     * Package pixz was added, and is used for parallel xz compression/
       decompression.
     * A mechanism to convert image compression format was added. It can 
be used to convert the gz compression to xz compression, for example.
     * Language files, it_IT, fr_FR, de_DE, andja_JP.UTF-8 were updated. 
Thanks to Gianfranco Gentili, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Michael Vinzenz, 
and Akira YOSHIYAMA.
     * The code for restoring MBRs was extracted as a single program, 
ocs-restore-mbr, allowing it to be used more easily.
     * The install_grub_hd function in ocs-functions was extracted as a 
program "ocs-install-grub" so that it's easier to be run separately.

*** BUG FIXES ***
     * A bug where live-config failed to show eject info when rebooting 
or halting in upstart environments was fixed.
     * Because the "ip=frommedia" boot parameter made Ubuntu-based 
Clonezilla live's vmlinuz boot slowly, it was replaced with "ip=", which 
is accepted by live-boot with same function and is shorter.
     * When creating a recovery zip file, if an image is included it is 
not compressed.
     * When a recovery ISO/zip file is created, Clonezilla now honors the
       original splash mechanism.

Steven.
