Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.

What's new in this version:

Changes / New:
- Support for the Toshiba RD-H100 DTKF DVR
- Create and Load *.gzndx files to speed up opening *.gz files for random access
- Spanned *.gz files' support: *.gz.001, *.gz.002, ..
- Full support for *.gz files referenced from a CUE file
- Full support for *.gz files referenced from an IMLST file
- XA Extraction (2336 bytes per block) from CDs with Mode 2 tracks (Files, Image files, CUE etc.)
- New Command line parameter /setsp: to change the optical drive's speed
- New Command line parameter /lprogress: to dump the progress dialog progress in a file, so that external processes can track progress
- PS3 partition parsing on decrypted disks with support for embedded 'OtherOS' partition tables (MBR, GPT, ..)
- Show PS3 OtherOS bootloader in its dedicated PS3 partition
- Show Linux Swap file in its dedicated partition
- Ability to Load and/or Export a Partition list (*.ibpt), to map your own partition layout against a drive or image file [Professional license]
- Support for \*virtual:size:pattern files which are virtual files that can be added before, after or in the middle of spanned files

Improved:
- Find all files and folders in FAT 12 and FAT 16 volumes that were not correctly formatted according to the specifications
- Find Panasonic, Philips, Magnavox, ReplayTV and other DVR file systems on previously Windows' formatted disks that still have a valid backup GPT partition table
- BSD partition parsing improved by taking in account the different flavours (FreeBSD vs OpenBSD / NetBSD)
- Automatic creation of a CUE Sheet can be set to 'always' except when there's only one track
- More extensions that match the Mac Creator / Type fields can be assigned
- Put up a dialog when IsoBuster is being closed [X] and when it's still scanning or searching
- Show more meta data for Pioneer DVR file systems
- Prompt after multiple files' extraction, when there were read errors that required user intervention
- Improved detection of Windows changing the style from dark to light (or vica versa)
- When you open a regular (non image) *.gz file, IsoBuster will allow you to extract the file (since it did all the work already anyway)
- .gzip files are recognized as *.gz files
- Show *.imlst files in recently opened image files (rather than the first file in the imlst)
- Improvements to assign file systems to the correct CD track after a scan for missing files and folders
- Tracks and Partitions take on the 'Compressed' property when located in compressed image files
- Show the type of encryption that was encountered in the (right hand side) ListView when you select an encrypted track or partition (e.g. BitLocker)
- Introduced {%NOBOM} in the file export functionality so that a text with BOM-able CodePage (e.g. {%UTF8}) can also be written without the BOM
- Added the command /scan:nofs to only /scan when no file systems could be found
- Do not create a separate UDF file system for UDF system streams, instead, add the streams as meta data to the regular UDF File System
- Leverage the stored CurrentLBA in GPT backup data to determine its relative position (should it be nested in a partition, or shifted somehow)
- Option to show the W11-style smoke effect underneath certain dialogs
- Plenty of other tweaks and improvements

Fixed:
- a crash when reading blocks outside the on the fly decompressed *.gz range
- a file addressing issue for Pioneer DVRs (OEM, also Sony etc.) when lots of recordings had been deleted
- Folder file-names should not get the extension '.mpg' when extracted with the 'only mpeg' filter
- setting the CD Read Speed to the lowest speed (would not work on all drives)
- issue that prevented listing files found based on their signature on partitions > 1 TB
- it so that orphaned EXT file systems with a logical block size > 1024 get assigned a correct partition address
