R-Studio 8.13 build 176037
New features:
-  Deleted partitions can be instantly found, without long scan
-  Files can be recovered or marked for recovery directly from File previewer
-  The number of read tries for bad sectors can be changed during a disk operation

Improvements:
-  DeepSpar Disk Imager sector status data is also used to estimate the chances of successful file recovery
-  FAT folders partially damaged within sectors are also enumerated

Bugfixes:
- No messages appeared in the log when a scan process was interrupted
- When R-Studio accessed data inside an already opened part of a multi-part image, a request to open this part may have appeared
- A multi-part image may have been opened incorrectly if the parts were small
- Log information may have been incorrect when recovery was interrupted
- When opening the next in turn part of a multi-part image, it was possible to click the OK button without entering the required file name. The part was lost and no more inquires were issued.
- Sometimes the program may have sent a wrong message about not enough space when the image was written to alternative paths
- The Advanced Scan dialog box may have been shown incorrectly
- R-Studio may have frozen or crashed while opening file systems
- The best copy of the FAT table for FAT12/16 file systems was determined incorrectly when it was determined sector-wise
- The path dialog box on the remote computer may have delayed for a long time if there were unaccessible connected network drives
- R-Studio may have found waste copies of GPT partitions if a GPT disk was reformatted to an LDM/MBR disk
- The program may have found some garbage GPT partition entries when those entries were re-written. Fixed. Now R-Studio checks their validity and cancels invalid r
- Partitions could not be copied to an HDD with several partition tables (i.g., a GPT table and some deleted ones)
- An extended debug file system snapshot could not be saved for disks with unsupported encryption methods

Text/hexadecimal editor:
- The offset field in the GoTo dialog box may have been shown incorrectly. Fixed.
- Strings may have been truncated on the Find Results panel. Fixed.


R-Studio 8.12 build 175721
New features:
- Support for the compression algorithms lzvn and lzfse has been added. They are used in the new HFS+/APFS versions.

Bugfixes:
- R-Studio may have crashed when creating an ext4 FS metadata image. Or it may have created it slowly. Fixed.
- R-Studio may sometimes have crashed when opening heavily corrupted file systems. Fixed.

R-Studio 8.12 build 175481
New Features:
- Support for the APFS file system created by macOS Catalina has been added
- Support of the APFS Fusion Drive has been added
- Several paths can be immediately specified for multiple-volume images

Technician version:
- Alternative paths can be specified for places to store recovered files and images

Post Action options have been added for unattended operations:
- Automatic shutdown once lengthy operations have completed: file recovery, disk scan, and disk imaging. When this option is specified, R-Studio checks that all relevant information (scan info, RAID layouts, etc) has been saved and advanced recovery features specified
- Automatic email notification regarding operation success/failure.

Improvements:
- Search for deleted files has been improved for the Ext2/3/4 and UFS1/UFS2 file systems
- File system reconstruction has been improved for APFS partitions


R-Studio 8.11 build 175479
New features:
- Automatic recognition and assembly of complex disk manager objects whose components are also various disk manager objects. This may be useful for data recovery from various NAS devices
- Updated Windows driver that can mount R-Drive Image type (.rdr) images of hard drives, besides logical disks, as virtual hard drives in the system

Improvements:
- The Open folder when done option has been added to the Recover dialog box
- File enumeration speed has been increased by several dozen times for Ext2/3/4 and UFS1/UFS2 partitions
- Folder scan to improve folder tree reconstruction on recognized Ext2/3/4 and UFS1/UFS2 partitions
- Ext4fs extent reconstruction for large deleted files even if they are not in the file system journal
- Network data recovery speed has been increased by several dozen times

Bug-fixes:
- R-Studio may have opened some partitions with large numbers of files for a long time
- The path selection dialog box may have frozen if some network drives were connected to the system under a user account
- R-Studio may have crashed during performing recheck recovery chances
- Volume labels may have been detected incorrectly for UFS1 partitions
- Idle RAID sequences may have appeared when a custom RAID was created. Those sequences could not be deleted
- When an invalid RAID table was applied, the program didn't throw a warning
- An incorrect minimum number of RAID table lines may have appeared for RAID0 and RAID4
- The cursor may have moved incorrectly when editing the RAID table
- Unit fields (TB, GB, MB) in the RAID editor may have worked incorrectly
- The Refresh DDI command may have appeared even when the DDI device was not connected

R-Studio 8.10 Build 173987
Improvements:
- LVM processing has been improved

Bugfixes:
- Empty sequences were generated in the Sequences window when the Custom RAID type was selected. Those sequences could not be deleted
- The last valid RAID block order table was saved rather than the current invalid table
- The Get Info window showed wrong file info when sorting had been changed
- Clicking an empty space on the Get Info window opened Hexadecimal editor
- Files remained marked when files were recovered with the Do not recover duplicate files from Extra Found Files option enabled
- Not all information on Overlapping files and Regions when saving file names
- The Find/Mark dialog box didn't preserve selections for the Look At Files/Folders option
- A file and folder may have the same ID on the time/extension sorting tabs. Clicking such object may have resulted in jumping to another object with the same ID. For example, to a file with an ID randomly coinciding with the ID of a folder
- Saving file names for marked files didn't save names for files with links in their paths. Only link name was saved without files in the related folder
- Some small interface and cosmetic bugs have been fixed
