This release of Clonezilla live (2.7.1-22) includes major enhancements and bug fixes.
ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES from 2.7.0-10

The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2021/Jan/27).
Linux kernel was updated to 5.10.9-1.
Include exfatprogs instead of exfat-utils.
Include package glances, ipv6calc, atop, usbtop, bashtop, python3-psutil, vnstat and iperf3.
Add package f3 in Clonezilla/DRBL/GParted live. Thanks to timgmooney at hotmail com for this suggestion.
ocs-sr: make --rescue work for ocs-onthefly to call ocs-sr. Thanks to huh for reporting this issue: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/ba2d28a4ef/
prep-ocsroot: add an option to fsck repository file system before mounting local one. Thanks to Bohdan for this idea. Ref: https://gitlab.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/-/issues/53
Better mechanism to find LIVE_MEDIA in function get_live_media_mnt_point of ocs-functions. This allows persistence in the live-boot to work with Clonezilla live. Thanks to Bohdan for asking persistence feature.
ocs-sr: Support customized auto-gen image name. Key name: productname, FQDN, UUID, MAC, year, date, time (case insensitive). It can be any combination, just make beginning with "autoname-". If key name is not any one of the above, it will be shown as itself. E.g., autoname-fox-year-date-time-uuid -> fox-2020-1227-2336-564d41fc-9d80-20ac-c844-bda6a392d4c6
ocs-sr: support more time-related format for "autoname-": Four new key names: month, day, hour, minute (case insensitive), e.g., autoname-tiger-month-day-year-hour-minute -> tiger-12-31-2020-23-15. In addition, datefmt_* can be used to assign the format from "date" command. E.g., autoname-fox-datefmt_%Y%m%d -> fox-20210109 autoname-fox-datefmt_%Y-datefmt_%m%d -> fox-2021-0109
Add support for scheme about samba_server with version assigned as: smb1, smb1.0, smb2, smb2.0, smb2.1, smb3, smb3.0, smb3.11, and smb3.1.1. in ocs-live-repository so that the cifs version can be assigned. Thanks to ottokang for this idea. Ref: https://groups.google.com/g/ocs-clonezilla/c/M0eEV9ClO4k/m/FlW06koMBwAJ
Improve the support for Linux software RAID. Allow something lie /dev/md126 can be a partition, too. Thanks to Jorge Fábregas (jorge.fabregas at gmail com) for asking and testing.
Add language setting (en_US) in grub.cfg.
Change the date-time format for auto*name as like my-2020-1220-0221-img, was my-2020-12-20-0221-img.
Show file system and partition size in the TUI when listing partitions in restoreparts.
Language file es_ES was updated. Thanks to Juan Ramón Martínez.
Package ezio instead of ezio-static is used since it can depend on different versions of libtorrent. It was updated to version 1.1.11. An issue about uploading too early was fixed.
Reduce ezio_cache_ratio from 0.7 to 0.5 in drbl-ocs.conf.
The devices to be deployed by BT mode will be run together. No more one device by another device.
Add leecher mode (-l|--for-leecher) in ocs-btsrv.
As suggested by ottokang _at gmail com and https://lwn.net/Articles/244829/, noatime implies nodiratime. Therefore remove nodiratime in the option of mount command.
ocs-sr: destination disk can be assigned by serialno when restoring.
ocs-onthefly: source and destination device can be assigned by serialno.
The serial no of disk device is now in the short format, not the long one from udevadm. Thanks to LinuxOpa for clarifying this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/support-requests/143/
When ocs-sr is in saving mode, the DEVICE name can also be assigned by: For disk: PTUUID or SERIALNO, e.g., PTUUID=03c8b280-47aa-4881-aca5-9b9c66fe28c7. If there are spaces in SERIALNO, replace every space by "_". For partition: UUID or PARTUUID, e.g., UUID=0b51ce79-7bc0-4111-8a40-839461a9b12f"

BUG FIXES

Missing TUI when -rescue is used for partclone in device to device cloning. Thanks to huh for reporting this.
The boot parameter from clonezilla live grub.cfg was wrongly parsed for using in lite server client.
Improve parse_cmdline_option to allow multiple "=" in a line, e.g., Thanks to Christopher S for reporting this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/support-requests/144/
Jfbterm was not used in i686 live due to wrong keyword to be grepped in ocs-lang-kbd-conf. This made no way to choose language for i686 version of Clonezilla live.
In interactive mode, ocs-onthefly and ocs-sr should wait for pressing enter before asking final action. It was not working for device to device cloning, recovery iso/zip creation, etc.
