Today I released FDISK 1.3.8 into the wild: https://github.com/FDOS/fdisk/tree/v1.3.8
The FDISK user interface is now translatable. Version 1.3.8 ships with translations for German, French and Turkish. Translation into Polish is in the works, and I also would like to have it available in Spanish, but have not found a translator yet. The SvarLANG library is used to implement the translation functionality. The last month, I worked with Mateusz Viste on improving the library, namely speeding up the string lookup by slightly changing the binary file format to use sorted lookup tables instead of linked lists. The modifications got incorporated into upstream: http://svn.svardos.org/listing.php?repname=SvarDOS&path=%2Fsvarlang.lib%2Ftrunk FDISK now builds wich IA16-GCC, at least under Mac OS. (As a side-note: IA16-GCC runs under Mac OS and is able to build the FreeDOS Kernel). Continious integration is setup for the FDISK Github repository. When a new commit is pushed to the master branch, an automatic build is triggered using Open Watcom v2 (Linux). Build artifacts may be downloaded from: https://github.com/FDOS/fdisk/actions Apart from that, the usual bugfixing occured: Version 1.3.8 (2023-07-24) -------------------------- Bugfixes: - HIGH: Fix a bug preventing FDISK to work if ext. INT 13 support is reported by the BIOS, but actual support for functions 42, 43 and 48 is non-existant (mainly 486 systems and early LBA support era). - HIGH: Fix a bug preventing FDISK from working correctly, if BIOS returns garbage in AH for INT 13 function 2 or 3 and CF is zero (mainly some buggy XT/AT era INT 13 implementations). - HIGH: Fix FDISK not returning an error code if partition table can not be written. (since <= v1.2.1) - MEDIUM: Fix FDISK not letting the user delete the last existing logical drive until program is restarted, if the first logical drive in EMBR chain is not the last to be deleted. (since v1.3.5) - MEDIUM: Fix FDISK wrongly informing the user that no space in the extended partition is left after deleting the last logical drive, until program is restarted. (since v1.3.5) - LOW: Fix a display bug showing the extended partition a few MB smaller than it actually is while creating logical partitions. - LOW: Prevent FDISK from using different rounding schemes for displaying partition sizes, confusing the user by showing slightly different values in some situations.
