-- IMPORTANT FOR ALL DEVELOPERS!
Framework:
- Added Linux and MAC support.
- Added L01 support.
- Added APIs to find files by name, path and extension.
- Removed deprecated TskFile::getAttributes methods.
- moved code around for AutoBuild tool support.
Java Bindings:
- added DerivedFile datamodel support
- added a public method to Content to add ability to close() its tsk handle before the object is gc'd

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed fcat to work on NTFS files (still doesn't support ADS though).
- Fixed HFS+ support in tsk_loaddb / SQLite -- root directory was not added.
- NTFS code now looks at all MFT entries when listing directory contents. It used to only look at unallocated entries for orphan files. This fixes an image that had allocated files missing from the directory b-tree.
- NTFS code uses sequence number when searching MFT entries for all files.
- Libewf detection code change to support v2 API more reliably (ID: 3596212).
- NTFS $SII code could crash in rare cases if $SDS was multiple of block size.
Framework:
- Added new API to TskImgDB that returns the base name of an image.
- Numerous performance improvements to framework.
- Removed requirement in framework to specify module extension in pipeline configuration file.
- Added blackboard artifacts to represent both operating system and network service user accounts.
Java Bindings:
- added more APIs to find files by name, path and where clause
- added API to get currently processed dir when image is being added,
- added API to return specific types of children of image, volume system, volume, file system.
- moved more common methods up to Content interface
- deprecated context of blackboard attributes,
- deprecated SleuthkitCase.runQuery() and SleuthkitCase.closeRunQuery()
- fixed ReadContentInputStream bugs (ignoring offset into a buffer, implementing available() )
- methods that are lazy loading are now thread safe
- Hash class is now thread-safe
- use more PreparedStatements to improve performance
- changed source level from java 1.6 to 1.7
- Throw exceptions from C++ side better
---------------- VERSION 4.0.1 --------------
New Features:
- Can open raw Windows devices with write mode sharing.
- More DOS partition types are displayed.
- Added fcat tool that takes in file name and exports content (equivalent to using ifind and icat together).
- Added new API to TskImgDB that returns hash value associated with carved files.
- performance improvements with FAT code (maps and dir_add)
- performance improvements with NTFS code (maps)
- added AONLY flag to block_walk
- Updated blkls and blkcalc to use AONLY flag -- MUCH faster.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed mactime issue where it could choose the wrong timezone that did
not follow daylight savings times.
- Fixed file size of alternate data streams in framework.
- Incorporated memory leak fixes and raw device fixes from ADF Solutions.
---------------- VERSION 4.0.0 --------------
New Features:
- Added multithreaded support
- Added C++ wrapper classes
- Added JNI bindings / Java data model classes
- 3314047: Added utf8-specific versions of 'toid' methods for img,vs,fs types
- 3184429: More consistent printing of unset times (all zerso instead of 1970)
- New database design that allows for multiple images in the same database
- GPT volume system tries other sector sizes if first attempt fails.
- Added hash calculation and lookup to AutoDB and JNI.
- Upgraded SQLite to 3.7.9.
- Added Framework in (windows-only)
- EnCase hash support
- Libewf v2 support (it is now non-beta)
- First file in a raw split or E01 can be specified and the rest of the files
are found.
- mactime displays times as 0 if the time is not set (isntead of 1970)
- Changed behavior of 'mactime -y' to use ISO8601 format.
- Updated HFS+ code from ATC-NY.
- FAT orphan file improvements to reduce false positives.
- TskAuto better reports errors.
- Upgrade build projects from Visual Studio 2008 to 2010.
Bug Fixes:
- Relaxed checking when conflict exists between DOS and GPT partitions.
Had a Mac image that was failing to resolve which partition table
to use.
---------------- VERSION 3.2.3 --------------
New Features:
- new TskAuto method (handleNotification()) that gets verbose messages that allow for debugging when the class makes decisions.
- DOS partitions are loaded even if an extended partition fails to load
- new TskAuto::findFilesInFs(TSK_FS_INFO *) method
- Need to only specify first E01 file and the rest are found
- Changed docs license to non-commercial
- Unicode conversion routines fix invalid UTF-16 text during conversion
- Added '-d' to tsk_recover to specify directory to recover
Bug Fixes:

- 3303679: Deleted FAT files have more name cleanup in short names
New Features:
- 3213888: RAW CD format
- Auto class accepts TSK_IMG_INFO as argument

- 3108272: fls arguments for -d and -u
- 3105539: compile error issues because of SQlite and pthreads
- 3173095: missing FAT files because of invalid dates.
- 3184419: mingew compile errors.
- 3191391: surround file name in quotes in mactime -d csv output
New Features:
- A single dummy entry is added to the SQlite DB if no volume exists
so that all programs can assume that there will be at least one
volume in the table.

code was not stopping when it found the parent directory.
- Adjusted sanity / testing code on FAT directory entries to allow
non-ascii in extensions and reject entries with lots of 0s.
- 3023606: Ext2 / ffs corrupted file names.
- Applied NTFS SID fixes from Mandiant.
- ntfs_load_secure() memory leak patch from Michael Cohen
---------------- VERSION 3.1.2 --------------
Bug Fixes

- 2988330: ntfs SII cluster size increment bug

directory resulted in many searches for OrphanFiles. Added cache
of OrphanFiles.
- 2999567: ifind was not stopping after first hit.
- 2993804: read past end of file did not always return -1.
---------------- VERSION 3.1.1 --------------

had same starting block.
- 2954707: ISO9660 missing some files with zero length and
duplicate starting block. Also changed behavior of how
multiple volume descriptors are processed.
- 2955898: Orphan files not found if no deleted file names exist.
- 2955899: NTFS internal setting of USED flag.
- 2972721: Sorter fails with hash lookup if '-l' is given.

---------------- VERSION 3.1.0 --------------
New Features and Changes
- 2206285: HFS+ can now be read. Lots of tracker items about this.
Thanks to Rob Joyce and ATC-NY for many of the patches and reports.
- 2677069: DOS Safety Partitions in GPT Volume Systems are better
detected instead of reporting multiple VSs.
- Windows executables can be build in Visual Studio w/out needing
other image format libraries.
- 2367426: Uninitialized file space is shown if slack space is
requested.
- 2677107 All image formats supported by AFFLIB can be accessed by
specifying the "afflib" type.
- 2206265: sigfind can now process non-raw files.
- 2206331: Indirect block addresses are now available in the library
and command line tools. They are stored in a different attribute.

and hdparm now has the same functionality.
- 2874854: Image layer tools now support non-512 byte device sector
sizes. Users can specify sector size using the -b argument to the
command line tools. This has several consequences:
-- 'mmls -b' is now 'mmls -B'. Similarly with istat -b.
-- Changed command line format for '-o' so that sector size is
specified only via -b and not using '-o 62@4096'.
- 2874852: Sanity checking on partition table entires is relaxed
and only first couple of partitions are checked to make sure that
they can fit into the image.

- 2206341: AFF encrypted images now give more proper error message
if password is not given.

function. Now named tsk_fs_meta_make_ls.
- 2908510: Nanosecond resolution of timestamps is now available.

and integer form.

device.
- 2778170: incorrect read size on resident attributes.

that they are case insensitive.
---------------- VERSION 2.50 --------------

12/6/06: Update: Updated libaff to 2.0a10 and changed build process
