+0.6.0   (2010-06-18)
+====================
+NOTES
+	The GParted team is proud to announce this release brings
+	support for devices with sector sizes greater than 512 bytes.
+
+	For the last three decades, 512 byte sector sizes have been
+	the norm and many tools, including GParted, were hard coded to
+	assume this sector size.
+
+	Also included in this release are bug fixes, and language
+	translation updates.
+
+	Key changes include:
+	  - Add support for devices with sector sizes > 512 bytes
+	  - Add alignment option to align to MiB
+	  - Set _default_ alignment to align to MiB
+
+	Known issues:
+	  When used with libparted versions 2.3 and lower on devices with
+	  sector sizes > 512 bytes:
+	  - hfs/hfs+: used/unused space not detected
+	  - hfs/hfs+: shrink file system not available
+
