- Update to 1.0.8
* 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).
* 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
