* This release of Clonezilla live (2.4.7-8) includes major enhancements and
bug fixes.
*
ENHANCEMENTS and CHANGES
* The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is
based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2016/Jun/27).
* Linux kernel was updated to 4.6.2-2.
* Partclone was updated to 0.2.89. A btrfs issue has been fixed.
* Cloudfuse was updated to 0.9+redbogit871a98f-drbl2, i.e. the version from
redbo with patches from Am1GO. Thanks to maple52046 (maple52046 at
gmail com).
* Partclone-utils was updated to 0.4.1.
* When option "-k1" or "-k2" in the TUI is chosen, "-icds" is on
automatically.
* Add "-batch" in the TUI for expert saving mode.
* Provide an option to mount image repository again when failing in ocs-
live-repository. "ask_user" is a reserved name to be used as the Samba
domain and account and SSHFS account in the URI so that user can input
their own names. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens
wednet edu) for these ideas.
* If failing to mount sshfs and samba server as image repository,
clonezilla now asks if retrying.
* Use shorter name for fsck-related options, i.e. "-fsck-src-part" is
replaced by "-fsck", and "-fsck-src-part-y" is replaced by "-fsck-y".
* Reuse the parsed partition info when detecting the data/swap/extended
partitions. Thanks to starnavi for this suggestion. Ref: https://
sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/ba256b4b
* Add support for device /dev/nbd. Thanks to Mircea Dan for this
suggestion. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Help/
thread/d2d2a480/
* Boot parameter ocs_preload now supports mount command for nfs/cifs to
preload files. E.g. ocs_preload="mount -t cifs //192.168.120.2/images/ /
tmp/cifs -o user=administrator,password=yourpasswd" will preload files on
cifs server to /opt/ in Clonezilla live environment.
* Add a mechanism so that image repository can be auto mounted with boot
parameter ocs_repository in URI format, e.g. ocs_repository="dev:///dev/
sdf1" or ocs_repository="smb://wa-domain;jack:mypass@192.168.7.25/
images". Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet
edu) for this idea.
* Live-boot was updated so that its toram parameter can be assigned as
multiple modules (e.g. "live,syslinux")
* Add supporting for grub on EBR (Extended Boot Record) imaging and
cloning. Thanks to Bill Wright (bill at blug org) for reporting this
issue.

BUG FIXES
* Failed to mount OpenStack swift image repository. Thanks to maple52046
(maple52046 at gmail com) for reporting this issue.
* Failed to restore the boot loader on EBR (Extended Boot Record). Thanks
to Bill Wright (bill at blug org) for reporting this issue.
* MBR (executable code area) data should be restored even it's GPT disk.
Some OS, e.g. ESXi 5.5 need that. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/
