Veranderingen voor v6.8 - v6.9

• TestDisk & PhotoRec 6.9 comes with numerous improvements
• EFI GUID Partition Table is now supported. EFI GPT is used mainly on Itanium, MacBook and Mac Pro
• Both utilities can use sudo if the user is not root, this functionnality will be enable for MacOSX at least so users won't have to go in command line. Under Linux, disk model is now displayed to help identify the media
• Internal card readers are now better supported under Windows
• TestDisk
• New filesystem support have been added: encrypted LUKS, Mac HFSX, Linux raid md 1.0/1.1/1.2 (0.9 was already supported)
• UFS, UFS2 filesystem are better identified now
• TestDisk 6.9 handles Mac partition table partially overwritten by an Intel partition
• It display unicode filenames correctly and can handle unicode filesname when copying files from an NTFS partition when supported by the underlying libraries. TestDisk warns if the media is in read-only instead of read-write access
• It's now possible to copy files from a delete FAT partition found by TestDisk (already possible for NTFS) without having to rewrite the partition table. In the advanced functionality, raw partition imaging capability have been added
• PhotoRec
• PhotoRec 6.9 can search for lost files in ext2/ext3 unallocated space only (Was available for FAT and NTFS)
• It has a better session support that allow a recovery to be strop and restart later. Windows forensics has been improved with the addition of Windows Enhanced MetaFile .emf (Printing), MS Windows Link .lnk, Internet Explorer index.dat (navigation history.
• New file formats are supported: Acronis True Image .tib, AutoCAD .dwg and PowerTab .ptb, Cineon image file/SMTPE DPX .dpx, Comic Life .comicdoc, HP Photosmart Photo Printing Album .albm, KeepAssX .kdb, Maya .mb and .mp, Microsoft OneNOte .one file, Micros
• It fixes Mac Adress Book and Outlook 64-bits .pst recovery and NTFS free space recovery

Veranderingen voor v6.7 - v6.8

• General Improvements:
• Partition type is autodetected.
• TestDisk and PhotoRec can now be used under GNU screen, the screen manager with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation. Typically, a screen can be shared by an end-user under Linux, Mac or another Unix and a remote data recovery specialist connected via SSH. It's also possible to disconnect while keeping a long recovery (ie PhotoRec) session running.
• Disk geometry under Mac has been corrected (Version 6.7 affected)
• TestDisk:
• HFS partition detection has been improved to avoid false positive
• Log potential NTFS partition location from MFT & MFTMirr location while rebuilding NTFS boot sector
• PhotoRec:
• Some important bugfixes (false positive problem, implementation bugs) have been made in PhotoRec 6.8.
• JPG bruteforce recovery has been improved a little bit, you can use it to recover more fragmented jpeg but it's very time consuming and not 100% reliable, so it's still disabled by default.
• .7z, .cab, .rar and .tar recovery have been improved.
• .dta and .spss file formats (statistical analysis file format) have been added.
