Clonezilla 3.3.0 (64-bit)

What's new in this version:

Enhancements and changes:
- The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2025/Oct/17).
- The Linux kernel was updated to 6.16.12-1
- Partclone was updated to 0.3.38, which includes a fix for a btrfs-related issue
- Added a new program, ocs-blkdev-sorter, which allows udev to create Clonezilla alias block devices in /dev/ocs-disks/. This is used by the udev rule 99-ocs-sorted-disks.rules.
- Added the "-uoab" option to ocs-sr and ocs-live-feed-img to support selecting Clonezilla alias block device names in the TUI. This experimental feature addresses the random ordering of kernel block devices and can currently only be enabled via a command-line parameter.
- Improved the performance of ocs-get-dev-info
- Improved ocs-blk-dev-info to ensure 'jq' works correctly in some cases and to increase efficiency
- Added ocs-cmd-screen-sample, which can be used with the "run again" script. It works with screen, tmux, and the console.
- Added support for imaging MTD block and eMMC boot devices in expert mode. The options "-smtd", "-smmcb", "-rmtd", and "-rmmcb" can be used for saving or restoring.
- Added a new program, ocs-live-gen-ubrd, to merge an OCS zip file with a U-Boot enabled bootable raw image, creating a new U-Boot enabled OCS live raw disk.
- The en_US language file was refined.
- The full repack command is now saved (for informational purposes) into ./{live/}Clonezilla-Live-Version.
- Formatted the output of ocs-scan-disk for better readability.
- Added the 'atd' and 'cron' packages to the live system; their services are disabled by default.
- The live-boot package was updated to version 20250815 and patched to include the 'ethdevice-link-timeout' boot parameter, allowing users to set the timeout for the Ethernet device linking status.
- Set 'ethdevice-link-timeout=7' in the live client. This changes the Ethernet device linking status timeout to 7 seconds (down from the default of 15 seconds)
- ocs-blk-dev-info: This is a new program that outputs block device information in JSON format.
- Switched to using fbterm by default for locale and keymap selection.
- Moved the locale and keymap selection to the login shell, allowing fbterm to run in an interactive tty.
- ocs-lang-kbd-conf: Added the "-f" and "-t" options.
- Added a mechanism to automatically set the console font size based on the console's columns and rows, if a size is not already assigned.
- Added a new program, ocs-live-time-sync, which is used by ocs-live-netcfg. Time synchronization will be performed when an internet connection is available.
- Implemented a mechanism to set the timezone by syncing from the BIOS time when no internet connection is available
- Included the 'upower' package in the live system
- Added a mechanism to check if LVM thin provisioning exists. If it does, the program will quit.
- ocs-iso-2-onie: Updated to support modern Debian, specifically handling mkinitramfs multiple segments.
- ocs-live-hook.conf: Forced the "loop" module to be added to initramfs
- Added '-gb3' and '-cb3' options for b3sum in the TUI menu. Renamed '-gb' to '-gb2' and '-cb' to '-cb2'.
- Recovery ISO/zip file names now include the CPU architecture.
- Added 'dhcpcd-base' to the live packages list, as 'dhclient' is deprecated. Thanks to q2dg.

Fixed:
- ocs-cvt-dev: Now only accepts disk types
- ocs-live-swap-kernel: Patched to correctly handle modules
- The --batch option was not being passed to the 'check_image_if_restorable' function in ocs-functions
- Added "efitextmode 0" to the grub.cfg of Clonezilla live
- Image names are now allowed to contain the special characters "(" and ")"
