 ============================
+GParted 0.30.0  (2017-10-10)
+============================
+
+Release Notes
+-------------
+
+  This release of GParted includes an interim fix to enable running
+  GParted as root under Wayland in addition to other bug fixes and
+  language translation updates.
+
+  ATTENTION PACKAGERS:
+
+  The installation location of the gparted script has changed and
+  package scripts calling pkexec can be dropped.
+
+  This release provides an interim workaround to allow GParted to run
+  under Wayland by using xhost to grant and revoke root access to the
+  X11 display.  This must be enabled while building the software with:
+
+      ./configure --enable-xhost-root
+
+  Pkexec from polkit has been made the first choice graphical SU
+  program as all the desktops have settled on using polkit as the
+  privileged access mechanism.  See "Installing polkit's Action File"
+  section in the README file for when an additional installation step
+  may be needed.
+
+  Also changed is that execution of the graphical SU program has been
+  moved from gparted.desktop to the gparted shell wrapper.  Therefore
+  gparted can be run either by an unprivileged user or by root and as
+  such is installed in $prefix/bin rather than $prefix/sbin.  This
+  additionally means distributions can drop their pkexec scripts used
+  to launch gparted.
+
+### Key changes include:
+
+  * Interim fix for GParted fails to run as root under Wayland
+  * Fix reading Unicode labels when no FS specific tools available
+  * Safely quote and escape external programs arguments
