Stable Clonezilla live (2.4.9-17) Released

This release of Clonezilla live (2.4.9-17) 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 2016/Oct/21).
• Linux kernel was updated to 4.7.8-1.
• Remove "nodmraid" from boot parameters in drbl-ocs.conf. Now fakeraid/firmware raid is supported.
• Language files hu_HU, ja_JP.UTF-8, de_DE, fr_FR, it_IT, and es_ES was updated. Thanks to Greg Marki, Akira YOSHIYAMA, Michael Vinzenz, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Gianfranco Gentili, Juan Ramón Martínez and Alex Ibáñez López.
• The drbl/clonezilla live version info will be put in /etc/ocs/ocs-live.conf, and when an image is saved, the info will be saved in Info-packages.txt.
• Applied patches from Aaron Burling, so now when mounting image repository, it is able to browse the directories recursively.
• Force to make timeout of dhclient as 60 secs. Debian uses 60, but Ubuntu uses 300. Too long. Thanks to Cecile, Adam (Adam.Cecile at hitec lu) for reporting this.
• Add mechanism to detect bitlocker and Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR) in ocs-get-part-info.
• Add options -sfsck and -senc in the Clonezilla live interactive menu for saving image modes. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet edu) for this idea.
• Ask the post action (choose, reboot, poweroff) before starting cloning. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet edu) for this idea.
• Add entry points by using boot parameters ocs_savedisk_prerun, ocs_saveparts_prerun, ocs_restoredisk_prerun, and ocs_restoreparts_prerun in ocs-sr. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet edu) for these ideas.
• Boot parameter ocs_overwrite_postaction has higher priority than the action assigned by option "-p" in ocs-sr, and "-pa" in ocs-onthefly. The value for ocs_overwrite_postaction is: [choose|reboot|poweroff]-on-[restoredisk|restoreparts|savedisk|saveparts|clone] E.g., choose-on-restoredisk means the postaction for restoredisk will always be choose no matter what is assigned in -p of ocs-sr or -pa of ocs-onthefly. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet edu) for this idea.
• Now ocs-live-preload checks if /opt/{overwrite-all-boot-param,overwrite-part-boot-param} exists (Downloaded from root of ocs_preload). File overwrite-all-boot-param is to overwrite the whole /proc/cmdline, while overwrite-part-boot-param only overwrites part of the variables in /proc/cmdline. Especially those "ocs_*" parameters. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet edu) for this idea and providing sample codes.
• Packages dislocker, ext4magic, myrescue, os-prober, powertop were added.

BUG FIXES

• Inform kernel partition changes only when disk is not busy. This should solve the issue: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/265/
• Replace boot parameter noprompt with noeject since live-boot >= v3 uses noeject, not noprompt.
• Live-boot failed to mount vfat device as the boot media for Clonezilla live. Thanks to Little Vulpix for reporting this issue. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/ba31ffc8
• Failed to create the checksum files for files in LV, i.e., when option "-gmf" or "-cmf" is enabled. Thanks to Mircea Dan. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/260/
• Change /proc/sys/vm/highmem_is_dirtyable to 1 when running i686 Linux kernel and the RAM size is larger than 8 GB. Thanks to Little Vulpix for this suggestion. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/ba31ffc8
• Clean file system/LVM info before creating partition table. Thanks to Mircea Dan (byreal at users sf net) and Pete Morris (morrispj at jmu edu) for reporting this issue. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/254/
• Disable service systemd-timesyncd. Clonezilla live should not change the system time. Thanks to Rick and rfried for reporting this issue. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/b2667447
