The Clonezilla team has just a released a new development build for this Linux distribution and it comes with a series of updates for some of the components, including one for the Linux kernel.
“The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2014 /Jul /15),” reads the official announcement.
According to the changelog, the Linux kernel is now at version 3.14.12-1 (one of the latest available), the drbl package has been updated to version 2.9.10-drbl1, and the partclone package is now at version 0.2.72.drbl1 and comes with the newer xfs library.
