libblockdev reaches the 1.0 milestone!

[Vratislav Podzimek]

A year ago, I started working on a new storage library for low-level
operations with various types of block devices -- *libblockdev*. Today,
I'm happy to announce that the library reached the **1.0** milestone
which means that it covers all the functionality that has been stated
in the initial goals and it's going to keep the API stable.

Read the blog post I wrote for more information:

This looks very interesting. I don't see any function to deal with plain
old block devices though just LVM, MD Raid, etc.
Is this correct or am I missing something?

Do you mean disk partitions? Those are not covered yet in libblockdev
(are part of the plan for version 2.0), but there's libparted providing
such functionality.
