GParted developer Curtis Gedak has announced the availability of the first point release for the GParted 0.26 open-source partition editor utility announced back in April 2016.

One and a half month later, it appears that GParted 0.26.0 needed a maintenance release to bring support for bootloaders on 32-bit EXT4 filesystems that are smaller than 16 TiB, add support for multiple bootloaders on 64-bit EXT4 filesystems, as well as to fix a crash that was caused by the OperationDelete::get_partition_new() function.

Other than the above, GParted 0.26.1 makes the code of the partition path "copy of /dev/SRC" prettier, addresses a memory leak with PedGeometry objects, and brings many code enhancements courtesy of Mike Fleetwood. A total of 13 translations have been updated in this first point release of GParted 0.26.0.
