14 DAY TRIAL // A few weeks after the rumors that RAID support will be removed from the Disks application of the upcoming GNOME 3.12 desktop environment surfaced, the GNOME Project has finally released this past weekend a first development version of the upcoming GNOME Disk Utility 3.12 software.
Unfortunately for some of us, the rumors proved to be true, as the development team removed support for MD-RAID from GNOME Disk Utility 3.11.0, which now supports GTK+ 3.10.0 or later. Moreover, it now uses CSD and GtkHeaderBar, media icon (if available), and flat list in device tree.
The Help, About, and Quit menus have been standardized, a forgotten header has been updated, the title of the “Restore Image” file chooser dialog has been capitalized, a warning in the “Restore Disk Image” dialog has been fixed, and the “Edit GPT Partition” dialog and various translations have been updated.
Those of you who want to test this unstable release of GNOME Disk Utility should wait for the GNOME 3.12 Beta 1 release. However, you can download GNOME Disk Utility 3.11.0 right now from Softpedia, but keep in mind that it’s a development release and it should not be installed/used on production machines.
