Volker Lanz cc1542fa84 change the way the number of free sectors before and after a partition is
calculated: 

In case of the free sectors after a partition, we used to just add the length
of the following unallocated partition to the last sector. This does not work
for extended partitions where unallocated partitions have
number_of_sectors_per_track free space before AND after them.

This is because if a new partition is created in place of the unallocated space
and this partition is followed by another logical, we need two times
number_of_sectors_per_track for two extended boot records.

If, however, the partition in question is simply resized to fill up all space
following it (and is still followed by a logical), we only need ONE EBR.

To solve this, we now use the difference between the following partition's last
sector and the partition's last sector instead.

The same is true for free sectors preceding a partition, of course.

=====================

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WARNING

KDE Partition Manager is a potentially dangerous program for your data. It has
been tested carefully and there are currently no known bugs that could lead to
data loss, but nevertheless there is always a chance for an error to ocurr and
you might lose your data.

BACK UP YOUR DATA BEFORE USING THIS SOFTWARE!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This software allows you to manage your disks, partitions and file systems:
Create, resize, delete, copy, backup and restore partitions with a large number
of supported file systems (ext2/3/4, reiserfs, NTFS, FAT32 and more).

It is a KDE4 application, so you will need KDE4 libraries to run it on your
computer. It also makes use of external programs to get its job done, so you
might have to install additional software (preferably packages from your
distribution) to make use of all features and get full support for all file
systems.

For quick install instructions see INSTALL.

For a list of changes since the previous release see CHANGES.
