A number of minor bugs FIXED.
25.07.2023

FIXED. ReFS: in some cases, the program failed to display file contents.
LVM. Thin Provisioning: added support for Tier Thin Pool technology (previously, only Thin Pool was supported).
XFS: improved support for large files and sparse files.
30.03.2023
FIXED. From time to time, the program tended to freeze suddenly while scanning the disks.
FIXED. VMFS: the program sometimes froze at startup (while reading data from VMFS).
FIXED. HFS+: in some cases, the program froze while analyzing the file system.
FIXED. XFS: On some systems, the block size was misidentified so the system was either not analyzed at all or analyzed incorrectly.
27.12.2022
FIXED. ZFS file system: in some cases, the program failed to find all files with Fast scan.
12.12.2022
GPT: when the inner disk table (inside GPT) is damaged, the program will read its copy.

5.08.2022
FIXED. ReFS: in new versions of this file system, file contents were not displayed;
FIXED. XFS: fixed the error in analyzing old versions (4 and earlier). Previously, analysis of some systems was not supported;

Improved support for mounted disks: when a mounted disk is removed, the remaining disks related to it are checked (for example, its child disks created automatically with RAID or LVM), and they are removed (only if all their parent disks are removed).
7.06.2022
XFS: scan algorithms improved (for both quick scan and full scan). Now the program shows properly more of the files, which used to be recognized as having zero byte size;

FIXED. UFS: with quick scan, the program could almost freeze in the process (i.e. it would take a really long time to analyze a disk);
LVM: added LVM Thin Provisioning support;
Thumbnails and Preview: now the program can identify text documents regardless of the file extension;
Preview: added HEX mode. It is displayed automatically if the program can’t show the file contents in the conventional way. This can be disabled in the program settings;
FIXED. Mounting disk images: in some cases, physical disks were displayed as logical;
Saving files by FTP: accelerated, added support for big files, added support for UTF8 servers;

Ext3/4. Improved journal analysis algorithm: as a result, the program now displays contents for a larger number of deleted files;
Ext3/4: in some cases, the Fast scan process has been accelerated considerably;
FIXED. XFS: in some cases, the program misinterpreted file structure and therefore failed to display some files and folders.
22.07.2021
NTFS: added journal analysis;
FIXED. Ext3/4: the program tended to find many odd files with non-existing and/or unreadable names.
