Clonezilla News

This release of Clonezilla live (3.0.0-26) includes major enhancements and bug fixes.

ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES from 2.8.1-12

• The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2022/May/22).
• Linux kernel was updated to 5.17.6-1.
• Partclone was updated to 0.3.20.
• This release supports APFS (Apple File System) imaging/cloning now.
• Add LUKS support. Basically a better mechanism than dd is implemented. //NOTE// It's recommended to encrypt the image when saving the LUKS device.
• Update language files de_DE, el_GR, es_ES, fr_FR, ja_JP, hu_HU, pl_PL and sk_SK. Thanks to Michael Vinzenz, Stamatis Mavrogeorgis, Juan Ramón Martínez, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Akira Yoshiyama, Greg, kris and Ondrej Dzivý Balucha.
• Add wavemon, memtester, edac-utils, shc and uml-utilities in the live system.
• Remove s3ql from the live system.
• A better mechanism was implemented to check GPT/MBR format of a disk. This is a workaround to deal with ChromeOS Flex partition table. Ref: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2022-04/msg00001.html

• Add the dummy option "-k0" for creating partition in ocs-sr and ocs-onthefly. It's the same as default action. Just easier for us to explain.
• Add memtester in the uEFI boot menu.
• Boot parameter use_os_prober="no" now skips running os-prober. Thanks to Bernard Michaud for this idea. Ref:

• Add a mechanism to skip using devices list cache. If the boot parameter use_dev_list_cache=no in the boot parameter, then the devices list cache mechanism won't be used.

BUG FIXES

• Show the prompt that ocs-iso & ocs-live-dev can not be run in netboot env. Thanks to Constantino Michailidis. Ref:
  https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/patches/19/
• Fixed the issue that update-efi-nvram-boot-entry created empty boot menu.
• Program pixz has no option to stdout with "-d". Therefore program pixz was replaced by xz since using "-T 0" works the same. Thanks to nurupo for reporting this issue.*
