[RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.3.8 - AT&T LG Optimus G

ClockworkMod Recovery is a simple and straightforward custom recovery designed by Koush and maintained by the CyanogenMod team as a whole.
Please note, you must have already unlocked your bootloader through freegee or teenybin for this to work.
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this recovery
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/

Select the install option and select the zip you placed on the device
Confirm and reboot the device
You have successfully installed ClockworkMod Recovery, happy flashing!
CWM vs TWRP:
Personally, this is completely a matter of preference. I've simply always preferred CWM to TWRP so I decided to make an updated version for myself and am sharing it with anyone else who is interested in CWM. You are always capable of switching to TWRP if you find this does not suit your needs.
About this version:
This was built and tested on September 25, 2013 from the latest available code from the CyanogenMod github. Based on the official CM repositories for e970, ls970-common, gproj kernel and CWM. All submitted changes have been merged and are now officially part of the the repositories.
Known issues:
After backup and restore, sometimes the battery display resets to 1% (this appears to be purely cosmetic and it does not actually zap the battery dry)
Choosing install zip from sdcard defaults to /storage/emulated instead of /storage/emulated/0 (I have been informed this is "by design" but I do find it mildly inconvenient)
Font is really small Fixed in 6.0.3.8

The official touch version of CWM is closed source, but once the gerrit change is merged it should be possible to build a touch version from koush's automated recovery builder that behaves identically.

Is exfat support built in natively like our existing cwm?

It should be if he's using the stock LG kernel.

I have not done anything specifically to add in exfat support and I have no exfat formatted devices with which to test it with, but it seems like exfat support in CM is already available through FUSE as well as specific commits for compatibility with CWM. On top of that the kernel seems to support fuse natively, but I don't claim to know anything about kernels so I could be misreading this. If someone could test with an exfat formatted device, I'd love to have a definite "yes" or "no" answer.

I installed this to my HTC One and was playing around. Apart from a normal backup I created an
image.zip, creating a zip file takes ages. Do I need this and where the hell is it? My memory has halved.
I found the files location thanks.

CM11 M3
using CM11 on LGE970 since its release. yesterday, i flashed the latest snapshot M3 via rom's builtin "cm updater".
currently i am on cwm 6.0.4.5, which was installed via FreeGee when i unlocked my device. i need to know how cwm 6.0.3.8 is latest while the numbers suggest otherwise.
ROM Manager notifies me that 6.0.3.8 is latest available recovery. it would be very helpfull if someone can explain me the difference.
the reason for my curiosity is that in recent blog from CyanogenMod team, they mentioned the need of having the latest recovery for M3 to work fully.
i would also appreciate suggestion on which recovery to be used and how to ensure we get timely updates of recovery.
