GParted 0.28 Begins Read-Write LUKS Encrypted File-System Support
For those using GParted as a way to visually manage your Linux disk partitions/file-systems, GParted 0.28 was released as a Valentine's Day present for Linux users.
The primary change with GParted 0.28 is that it adds partial read-write support for LUKS-encrypted file-systems.

However, this GNOME Partition Editor isn't yet able to create, open, or close LUKS encryption volumes.
