[Mohammad.Poorya]

IsoBuster 4.7 Build 4.7.0.0 – Final


Changelog for v4.7:



Changes / New:

• Retries can be reduced to 0 retries (including the block per block retries)
  
• Added detection of encrypted partitions and tracks based on the encryption signatures for: WinMagic SecureDoc Full Disk Encryption, BitLocker, Apple File Vault, Check Point Full Disk Encryption, GuardianEdge Encryption Plus/Anywhere/Hard Disk Encryption and Symantec Endpoint Encryption, McAfee Safeboot/Endpoint Encryption, Sophos Safeguard Enterprise and Safeguard Easy, Symantec PGP Whole Disk Encryption (an encrypted partition or session/track is shown with a green color - it is also indicative for why no files and folders were found for such a partition or session/track)
  
• Ability to Export and Import report templates (*.ibtmpl) (via right mouse click, see under the actual reporting)
  
• Full Padus DiscJuggler *.cdi image file support, including CD-Text, via the Padus pfctoc.dll that is installed together with this version of IsoBuster

Improvements:

• Greatly improved Prassi PrimoDVD / Sonic / Roxio *.gi image file support by finding internal sections and tracks
  
• Default RAW extracted CD Images now always get extension *.bin (instead of *.iso)
  
• Improved support for 512 + 16 ECC bytes per block Image files
  
• Changed the default optical disc retry counts from Per-Range: 2 and Per-Block: 3 to Per-Range: 1 and Per-Block: 2
  
• Improved the ability to clone an image with different internal blocksize than the device's blocksize
  
• Small improvement in Reiser file system detection
  
• Improvements detecting Xbox' FATX
  
• Show PS2 APA Attributes/Resources
  
• Ability to recognize and list ISO images in the application area of a PS2/APA partition
  
• Check the third track of a GD-ROM for the ISO9660 file system
  
• Improvement to search functionality and particularly searching inside (what I call) Embedded objects (for instance sub-partitions in partitions)
  
• Show files in the breadcrumb control when their content is shown (streams, extents etc)
  
• Show 'state icons' in the breadcrumb control when 'special' object members are shown, for instance streams, extents etc.
  
• Show wait cursor while loading (large) files into the EditWindow
  
• Show Search results breadcrumb with the full system name where the search originated
  
• Improved looking for a UDF 'VAT' in image files
  
• Default, VOB files are not cut into smaller 1GB pieces anymore (everybody runs NTFS now that can deal with larger files)
  
• If all tracks of a session are detected as encrypted, the session is regarded encrypted as well
  
• If all sessions of a CD/DVD are detected as encrypted, the disc is regarded encrypted as well
  
• Work around a W10 issue (via the installation) that seems to elevate 'Investigate with IsoBuster' to the default setting sometimes
  
• Before a device is automatically removed (e.g. disconnected or device electronics failure) IsoBuster asks to save the scan results
  
• Custom file signature scanning now pre-processes the lines for much faster searching
  
• A few demo Custom file signature scanning *.rules are now installed in the /Plugins/ folder, so that it's easier to understand, edit, test and use
  
• Custom file signature scanning now also supports commands: \%, \i(), \e() and \c()
  
• Plenty of other improvements, quite a few changes and re-writes in the core code / engine, as this is a living project and to deal with the ever growing new functionality
  
• Various other GUI improvements
  

Fixes:

• Fixed it so that command line parameter /efig works again (It looks like this was broken since v 3.6)
  
• Fixed exception error that could occur when one clicks the forward history button when there is nothing to show
  
• Fixed it so that text is displayed again in ListView (on an empty folder or unknown file system or on a partition without file system(s) etc.)
  
• Fixed it so that if only the last sector in a range is bad, building an error list From-To is still done correctly
