============================
+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
