update 1.0.6 to 1.0.8
NEWS 1.0.8 (6/9/2021):
----------------------
- Fixed double byte swap operation on writes of partition name data on
big-endian systems; this is in addition to the double byte swap fix on
reading partition label data fixed in 1.0.7. (Thanks to Erik Larsson for
both fixes.)
- Added feature to gdisk and sgdisk to enable swapping the byte order of
partition names, so as to correct disks already affected by the preceding
bug. This option is 'b' on the experts' menu in gdisk and
-b/--byte-swap-name in sgdisk. This seems advanced/obscure enough that I
don't want to clutter cgdisk's menu with this option, so I haven't added
it there.
- Added type code for the Barebox boot loader (0xbb00;
4778ED65-BF42-45FA-9C5B-287A1DC4AAB1).
- Trivial code cleanup.
News: 1.0.7 (2021-03-10)
------------------------
- Fixed bug that caused spurious warnings about the partition table
header claiming an invalid size of partition entries when reading
some MBR disks.
- Added ARM64 as an architecture for the Mac builds of gdisk and fixparts.
The official GPT fdisk binaries of these files for macOS are now
"universal" x86-64/ARM64 binaries, so they will run natively on the new M1
(ARM64) Macs. The sgdisk and cgdisk binaries, though, remain built only
for x86-64, because they rely on libraries that are not easily built in
"universal" form.
- Fixed double byte swap operation on partition label data on big-endian
CPUs. This resulted in partition names becoming gibberish on such CPUs.
- Added three new type codes:
- 0x0701 - Microsoft Storage Replica
- 0x0702 - ArcaOS Type 1
- 0x8401 - Storage Performance Development Kit (SPDK) block device
update 1.1.2 to 1.1.3
CHANGES :
- mkfs.exfat: ensure that the cluster size is greater than or equal than the sector size.
- mkfs.exfat: replace lseek() + write() with pwrite().
BUG FIXES :
- mkfs.exfat: prevent an integer overflow when computing the FAT length.
- fsck.exfat: fix a double free memory error.

This release reflects the following changes, which were either
circulated on the tz mailing list or are relatively minor technical or
administrative changes:
Briefly:
Fiji suspends DST for the 2021/2022 season.
'zic -r' marks unspecified timestamps with "-00".
Changes to future timestamps
Fiji will suspend observance of DST for the 2021/2022 season.
Assume for now that it will return next year. (Thanks to Jashneel
Kumar and P Chan.)
Changes to code
'zic -r' now uses "-00" time zone abbreviations for intervals
with UT offsets that are unspecified due to -r truncation.
This implements a change in draft Internet RFC 8536bis.

While the NTFS-3G project globally aims at providing a stable NTFS
driver for several operating systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, and
more, the project's advanced branch has specifically aimed at
developing, maturing, and releasing features to get user feedback prior
to feature integration into the project's main branch.
The parallel existence of both a stable and an advanced variant
maintained across several locations has caused some confusion. In
particular, the Linux distributions observed different policies in
selecting which version they use for their packaging. The led to users
questioning the differences between features and to additional
challenges in providing support.
We've decided to merge the two projects and maintain a single repository
for source code and documentation on GitHub. As the projects have always
remained in close contact, this induces no discontinuity in the released
features while enabling smoother support. The former repository on
Sourceforge will be discontinued after a grace period for the users to
adapt to the project's new state.
Thank you for your confidence in NTFS-3G.
