+* Thu Mar 26 2009 Joel Granados <jgranado@redhat.com> - 1.8.8-15
+- Begin to identify virtio devices.
+- Actually change the partition type in msdos lables (dcantrell).

 * Mon Mar 23 2009 Joel Granados <jgranado@redhat.com> - 1.8.8-14
 - Correct the behavior of upated_mode functions when the ASSERT fails (thx to hansg).
