• New upstream gen-torrent-from-ptcl (from partclone_create_torrent.py), use python3: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tjjh89017/ezio/migrate_to_py3/utils/partclone_create_torrent.py
• Remove archivemount and cloudfuse from packages list of clonezilla live since: (1) It requires fuse v2 but now only fuse v3 is available in Debian Sid. (2) It's not maintained for many years. (3) It's not used basically. The swift repository is temporarily removed from prep-ocsroot dialog menu.
• Add s3ql in the packages list so that user can manually mount swift/S3 cloud storage.

ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES from 2.6.2-15
• The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2019/Sep/03).
• Linux kernel was updated to 5.2.9-2.
• Partclone was updated to 0.3.13+git0819-2f1830e-drbl1.

• Package partclone-utils was updated with new upstream on Aug/29/2019: https://github.com/prekageo/partclone-utils
• Modify parameters about BT in drbl-ocs.conf: Use gen-torrent-from-ptcl (ezio-ptcl) to create torrent file from torrent.info, not using transmission-create anymore. This could save a lot of time when the source image is big.
• Remove "-t 3 -k 60" from ezio_seeder_opt, i.e., keep ezio seeder in the server all the time until it's killed by ocs-live-feed-img stop.

• For Clonezilla lite sever, change ezio_seeder_extra_opt as ezio_seeder_opt. Add two more options: ezio_leecher_opt and ezio_common_opt in drbl-ocs.conf. These three options can also be overwritten if it's assigned in boot parameters.
• Assign "-t 1" for ezio_leecher_opt so that ezio will timeout in 1 min.
• Add nuttcp as an alternative to netcat in ocs-onthefly. Add dialog for choosing compression algorithm in expert mode. Option "-u" was added in the dialog of expert mode to use nuttcp.
• To avoid OOM killer to kill ezio, we use the multi torrent files support (ezio >= 1.1.6) and limit the cache size. It can be tuned by ezio_cache_ratio in drbl-ocs.conf.
• Add a mechanism to reuse image for BT from raw device mode. The option -mdst-img can be used to assign the existing pseudo image.... read more

• In addition to massive-deployment mode, the interactive-client mode was added so that lite server can provide the ability to enter interactive mode of Clonezilla live in the clients.
• Let live-build 20180618 handle uEFI boot, so ocs-put-signed-grub2-efi-bldr and ocs-gen-grub2-efi-bldr are deprecated. The changes:
  • /boot/grub/efiboot.img is /boot/grub/efi.img now.
  • /EFI/boot/grub.cfg is moved to /boot/grub/grub.cfg now.
• Temporarily disable dislocker-find in ocs-get-part-info due to some issues: (1) It's broken in Debian Sid: https://bugs.debian.org/906430; (2) https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Open_discussion/thread/e1264596... read more

ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES

• The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2018/Mar/30).
• Linux kernel was updated to 4.15.11-1.
• Partclone was updated to 0.3.11-drbl3 with some libraries updated. //NOTE// New image format is used in this release. It is different from the one saved by Partclone 0.2.x. This is backward compatible. Partclone 0.3.x is able to read the image saved by 0.1.x or 0.2.x. However, Partclone 0.2 is NOT able to read the image saved by Partclone 0.3.x.
• New massive deployment mechanism bittorrent was added. //NOTE// Clonezilla has to convert the original image to the special format when bittorrent mode is used. This will require more disk space in the image repository.
• Switch keymap configuration method from console-data to keyboard-configuration. Ref: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=893612
• Update language files de_DE, es_ES, fr_FR, hu_HU, ja_JP, it_IT, tr_TR and sk_SK. Thanks to Michael Vinzenz, Juan Ramón Martínez, Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Greg Hefty, Akira YOSHIYAMA, ianfranco Gentili, Volkan Gezer and Ondrej Dzivy Balucha.
• Add channel bonding option when configuring network. Thanks to panther_1 for requesting this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/support-requests/61/
• Make prep-ocsroot can use disk block device (e.g., /dev/sdc) as image repository. Thanks to Riksoft for requesting this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/288/
• Add options -pe and -pfe to ocs-sr. This allows user to enter password in the command options although it's not safe. Thanks to ub2 at gmx ch for requesting this. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/d3af2134
• New compression lz4/lz4mt (-z8/-z8p) and zstd/pzstd (-z9/-z9p) were added in expert mode.
• Make ocs-chnthn work for device name like /dev/nvme0n1p1. This change should really fix the issue reported here: https://github.com/stevenshiau/clonezilla/issues/30
• Remove "-p 16" for pigz in drbl-ocs.conf. It should let pigz to decide that automatically.
• Package drbl-chntpw is no more used, and now we switch to use reged from package chntpw.
• The file efiboot.img has been moved to /boot/grub/ from /EFI/image from /EFI/image/.
• Add a workaround to make dnsmasq relay work for uEFI network boot clients. i.e., we have to assign the tftp server IP address in grub network boot loader. This is only necessary when dnsmasq is used to relay the DHCP request from clients to existing DHCP service. Ref: http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2017q1/011124.html
• Add boot parameter ocs_netlink_timeout so that the network link detection timeout can be assigned for ocs-live-netcfg.
• Add an option -cbm to ocs-live-feed-img. Besides, remove boot parameter ocs_litesrv_mode. It's better to assign that in the command line option (-dm) when running ocs-live-feed-img, e.g., ocs-live-feed-img -cbm netboot -dm auto-detect -g auto -e1 auto -e2 -r -x -j2 -sc0 -p reboot -md multicast --clients-to-wait 1 --max-time-to-wait 300 start myimg sda.
• Support using UUID and LABEL as image repository, i.e., local_dev for image repository can be assigned as: dev:///LABEL|UUID|PARTLABEL|PARTUUID=uuid|label. E.g., ocs_repository="dev:///UUID=84b012cc-5a4c-41e2-bf20-620d028072cb"... read more

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.

• 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.

* Make ocs-install-grub run when it's a GPT disk with a special "bios_boot"
  partition exists in the machine using legacy BIOS.
* By default the image integrity will be checked before restoring. The
  option "-scr" can be used to skip this checking. Thanks to Nabi OUMAROV
  (contact _at_ nabioumarov com) for the feedback.
* The option "-sc" was replaced by "-scs" in drbl-ocs and ocs-sr. This will
  be easier to tell the differences between saving and restoring image.
  Option "-sc" is still working in the same way with "-scs", but might be
  dropped in the future.
* Packages fatresize, nilfs-tools and fancontrol were added.
* Add removing swapfile.sys in ocs-rm-win-swap-hib. Thanks to Bartosz

• Package util-linux was updated to 2.27-3.
• Not only eno, but also other NIC name like enp will be searched
  in ocs-live-netcfg.
