Almost four months in development, GNU Parted 3.5 is here to introduce support for the Linux /home GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) using linux-home flag, support for partition names to be an empty string when they are set in –script mode, as well as support for using the swap partition flag on disks labeled as MSDOS.
GNU Parted 3.5 also adds a new –fix option to the –script mode to automatically fix various problems, such as the missing backup GPT header at the end of a disk, and adds a –json command-line switch that can be used to output the details of the disk in the JSON file format.
