Version 3.0.0

What's New in 3.0

🔓 Decrypt encrypted backups — end to end

Backup2FS now detects an encrypted iOS backup and decrypts it in-app. Enter the iTunes/Finder backup password when prompted, and it decrypts the backup and normalizes it into a browsable file system in a single workflow — no separate decryption tool required. A decrypted copy of the backup is also kept alongside the normalized output.

🎨 Redesigned interface

A modern dark UI: borderless window with a gradient ribbon header, the Backup2FS wordmark, and restyled About, Options, and confirmation dialogs.

📋 Clearer, forensic-grade logging

• The detailed log is now a structured CSV with one row per entry: Timestamp, Status, Domain, RelativePath, FileID, OutputPath, SizeBytes, MD5, SHA1, SHA256.
• Entries are correctly classified (Copied / Directory / Symlink / Missing / Error) — directories are no longer miscounted as "failures."
• Save Log now exports a readable .txt report.

🛡️ Integrity & reliability fixes

• The source backup's Manifest.db is opened read-only and is never modified.
• Removed a per-file timeout that could silently drop large files (or files paused mid-copy).
• Files are hashed in a single pass (faster), and large files now get real hashes.
• Selectable hash algorithms: MD5 / SHA-1 / SHA-256.

📦 Installer

Self-contained installer — no separate .NET install required. Windows 10/11 (64-bit).
