New minor version with some bugfixes. Most importantly, we fixed an issue that would cause config.system.build.vmWithDisko and config.system.build.diskoImagesScript to fail to build with the following error on nixpkgs 24.05 and older unstable versions:

   error: function 'anonymous lambda' called with unexpected argument 'customQemu'

   at /nix/store/lbqj1cndic4121whnx8xm0jgb1c8x4xx-source/pkgs/build-support/vm/default.nix:1:1:

Additionally:

• Whitespaces in GPT partition names are now handled correctly (#130)
• size = "100%"; now works properly for lvm_vg (#848)
• Disks now support a new imageName option
• Disko will no longer crash on Hetzner Rescue System (#815)

We now have docs that should help with contributing and testing! Check out out CONTRIBUTING.md and the pages linked within!

Full Changelog: v1.8.2...v1.9.0

This is a small release, only some small bugfixes and additions.

This release adds the --version command and serves as a first test for the new release process that supports this addition.

In case you're wondering what happened to v1.8.1, it was pushed to GitHub by accident. This immediately triggered a publish on flakestry. So I just decided to skip it.
