• Now uses NTFS-3g as NTFS filesystem driver.
• This hopefully removes some problems regarding dirty and "bad flags" NTFS volumes.
• You will be asked if you like to force your way and continue anyway if the disk has been uncleanly shut down.
• There exists a small chance of problems with the very latest written files before the unclean shutdown if you select to force it.
• Safest is still to boot into windows and shut down properly if that is possible with an unclean volume.
• Path select now hopefully better at detecting default suggestion and to actually find it...
• Newer kernel, and probably newer and better drivers.
• No changes to the passord/registry edit program (chntpw) since last release.
• Sorry, did not have the time to finish the floppy version yet.
