Brian C. Lane announced today the release and general availability of GNU Parted 3.5 as the latest stable release of this powerful command-line utility for managing disk partitions and the backend to the famous GParted tool.

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.
