• fixes a regression in the configuration parser (introduced in 2016-09-23) that caused empty partition size fields to be incorrectly rejected. thanks to @the-gangster who reported the regression, identified the problematic code, and extensively tested the fix.
• added support for disabled device builds.
• disabled builds for devices suspected to enforce GPT signatures:
  • preexisting builds:
    • Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F (klte)
    • Moto G 2013, non-GPE and GPE versions (falcon and falcon_gpe)
  • new builds:
    • Huawei Y560 (y560)
    • Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9190 (serrano3gxx)
• updated default parameters for:
  • Samsung Galaxy S III International (i9300)
• added support for:
  • Samsung Galaxy S III LTE (i9305)
  • Nook HD (hummingbird)
  • Nook HD+ (ovation)

2016-09-23

• added partition size units:
  • partition sizes now must include an explicit unit ('G' or 'M').
  • backwards incompatible change: old-style filenames are no longer supported.
  • migrated default parameters for all devices to the new format.
• added validation of ext4 partition sizes during dry run:
  • estimate the minimum size that the file system can be shrunk to.
  • make sure it fits the new partition size before any modifications are made.
  • only ext4 partitions are supported for now.
• updated default parameters for 'j5lte' and 'klte'.
• minor code cleanups.
• documentation updates.
• added support for:
  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G (dior)
  • Moto G 2013, non-GPE and GPE versions (falcon and falcon_gpe)

2016-07-23

• always log to '/tmp/lanchon-repit.log' (not to the directory you are flashing from)
• more informative error message if REPIT cannot lock the eMMC
• fixes some bugs concerning shell quoting and symlink handling
• updated default parameters for 'janice'
• improved make scripts
• added unsigned version of 'repit-dump' (workaround for faulty TWRP builds)
• added support for:
  • Huawei Honor 4X Che1-CL20 (cherry)
  • Samsung Galaxy J500F Duos (j5lte)
  • Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F (klte)

2016-04-15

• added f2fs support (works in recoveries without fsck.f2fs)
• added swap partition support
• better vfat error information
• added devices:
  • Galaxy Nexus Verizon (toro)
  • Galaxy Nexus Sprint (toroplus)
  • Galaxy S II SC-02C (sc02c)

2016-04-06

• this release requires TWRP 2 or TWRP 3.
• environment bundling was eliminated because it caused too many problems; REPIT was made directly compatible with TWRP 2 and TWRP 3 instead.
• based on a heavily rewritten Flashize, this version should eliminate all compatibility problems that plagued recent versions.
• includes a revamped dump tool to ease porting to new devices.
• added support for:
  • Galaxy S3 Intl (i9300)
  • Galaxy Nexus GSM (maguro)

2016-03-28

• now bundles a complete userland environment that is temporarily setup at runtime (courtesy of Flashize), freeing it from dependencies on specific recoveries.
• supports adb sideload via settings override mechanism.
• creates a log in the same directory you are flashing from (usually /tmp) called 'lanchon-repit.log'. (if you are sideloading, the log will be stored in '/tmp'.)
• the auxiliary flashable dump tool 'repit-dump.zip' now also creates a 'repit-dump-out.txt' log file.

introducing REPIT2, a major rewrite:

• supports multiple devices with device-specific code isolated in hierarchically-structured device handler files.
• added support for other S2 exynos-based devices: i777, n7000, d710 and sc02c.
• added support for i9100g, the omap-based S2.
• added support for janice, the GT-I9070 S Advance a.k.a. S2 Lite.
• supports 'shuffled' partitions, where the physical storage order of partitions differs from the numeric order.
• supports several 'heaps' per device, each being a set of partitions that REPIT can manage independently.
• added support for pluggable file system/partition type handlers.
• added FS-dependent support for crypto footers. (they are required to support encryption on some devices.)
• added crypto footer support to the ext4 file system handler.
• added the raw partition type: raw partitions are opaque to REPIT and can neither be resized nor wiped; only moving them is supported. (they allow the creation of larger heaps where the contents of some of its partitions cannot be understood by REPIT.)
• supports non-configurable partitions in heaps (for 'dangerous' partitions that should always be treated as raw).
• added auto-detection of usable block device area.
• disables swap during operation (if the swapoff command is available).
• detects adb sideloading and fails with a proper explanation if it is used. (sideloading hides the package filename and thus the filename-based configuration is lost.)
• unmounts the external sdcard to avoid locking issues.
• per heap configurable partition alignment, size granularity, and min keyword size.
• configurable partition data move chunk size to support low memory devices.
• configurable block device sector size.
• added the device-dump tool to create reports of unsupported devices and facilitate porting.

2016-02-25

• fix failure when wiping 4+ GiB vfat partitions.
• eagerly test that the destination partition can be created before starting to move a partition.
• attempt to restore the original partition if creation of a replacement partition fails.
• added build and test scripts.

2016-02-16

• automatic support for 8, 16 and 32 GB variants of the i9100.
• attempt to salvage the partition data in case of a hardware read error while moving an ext4 partition around.
• improvements to sanity checks.

2016-02-13

• changed defaults of all partitions to 'same+keep' to make it safer:
  • some people are actually using /preload for dual boot purposes.
  • these defaults are safer in case the user makes a spelling mistake in the partition name.
• several improvements in logging, especially in case of errors.
