Ext2 Installable File System 1.11a

Detailed list of changes:

• Bug fixed that, on rare occasions, caused a blue screen STOP 0xD1 DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
• Bug fixed that prevented the Ext2 driver from updating a file's modification date when the file just was truncated (overwritten) without any subsequent writing of data.
• Bug fixed that caused a blue screen STOP 0xC2 BAD_POOL_CALLER 0x7 on Windows XP or higher upon a floppy disk change.
• A minor change that prevents a dialog box of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 from appearing that offers checking of an Ext2/Ext3 volume, but fails subsequently, because Windows is not able to check an Ext2/Ext3 volume.
• Bug fixed that could prevent the driver from providing all file names within a directory if the volume uses both the htree directory (dir_index) feature and UTF-8 encoding is enabled.
• Bug fixed that caused a blue screen when the Ext2 IFS 1.11 software was used together with the Truecrypt disk encryption software.
• Bug fixed that could cause the drive letters to appear immediately or after reboot even though they have been deleted.
• Bug fixed that caused loss of a drive letter upon plugging in a device when another device already occupies the same drive letter.
• Bug fixed that caused a blue screen STOP 0xC9 DRIVER_VERIFIER_IOMANAGER_VIOLATION, I/O error code 0x20E if the Windows driver verifier is enabled.
• Bug fixed that caused an "invalid parameter" error message upon setting up the software or opening the "IFS Drives" applet on the computer's control panel if there is a removable media - for example, an SD card - that has more than one partition.
• Bug fixed that could cause a "file not found" error message upon setting up the software or opening the "IFS Drives" applet on the computer's control panel.
• Now the "IFS Drives" applet window updates its contents when a volume change occurs: volume label changes, volume mounts, dismounts, lock, unlock, and dismounts. (Windows 2000 or higher.)

Ext2 Installable File System 1.11

Detailed list of changes:

• Now offers support for Windows Vista/Vista x64 and the x64 versions of Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server. Includes drivers with a digital signature for Windows Vista x64.
• UTF-8 encoding added.
• Global read-only option added.
• Support for hash indexed (htree) directories added (utilizes the so-called dir_index feature).
• New configuration components for creation and deletion of any drive letter that greatly improves the plug-n-play functionality. When a drive is removed, the corresponding drive letter is deleted. Configuration of drive letters using the Windows mountvol utility is now supported (except on Windows NT 4.0).
• File names that start with a dot "." character are treated as hidden.
• Supports GPT disks if the Windows version used also does.
• Bug fixed that, on rare occasions, caused the computer to hang up on opening of directories.
• Bug fixed that prevented the Ext2 driver from supplying the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL attribute flag for files that lack an attribute value.
• Bug fixed that had as an effect that opening of a file or directory was not denied if its disposition information is set (delete pending).
• Bug fixed that could cause a blue screen upon removal of a drive.
• Bug fixed that had as an effect that the volume was not upgraded correctly upon writing a file larger than 2 GB.

Ext2 Installable File System 1.10c

Detailed list of changes:

• Bug fixed that prevented a volume from being dismounted if the underlying driver does not support Plug'nPlay, as is for example the case with some disk encryption drivers.
• Bug fixed that prevented a volume from being mounted if the media's sector size is 2 KB.
• Bug fixed that caused a blue screen when the underlying disk driver could not recognize the media's format, for example, upon a partially unreadable floppy disk.
• Bug fixed that could cause a blue screen on writing files; in most cases it happened when writing a file larger than 4 GB the very first time on a volume.
• Bug fixed that had as an effect that the major revision number of a revision 0 volume was not upgraded correctly to revision 1 upon writing a file larger than 4 GB.
• Bug fixed that could cause a memory leak; this bug was introduced with version 1.10b.
• Bug fixed that caused error popups upon access attempts to the raw volume of a removable drive with removed media. Such access attempts were seen on the add-on software of some external USB cardreaders.
• Bug fixed that could prevent a directory from being deleted.
• A read-only file attribute is provided for all directories and files of a volume if the volume is read-only due to a set Ext2 read-only feature bit.

Ext2 Installable File System 1.10b

Detailed list of changes:

• Bug fixed which could cause a blue screen on removing an external hot-pluggable drive, for instance, an external USB hard disk drive.
• Bug fixed that could cause a blue screen on writing files larger than 4 GBytes if the Ext2 driver was used together with some anti-virus software.
• ANSI string conversion functions have been replaced by OEM conversion functions.
• Bug fixed that prevented files containing multibyte characters in their names from being opened.
• Bug fixed that made it possible to create duplicate file names with language-specific Unicode characters in a directory.
• Bug fixed that prevented a virtual machine software from opening more than one virtual disk file.

Ext2 Installable File System 1.10a

Detailed list of changes:

• Bug fixed that, on rare occasions, caused the computer to hang up on moving files or directories.
• Bug fixed that caused a very poor write performance on external hot-pluggable drives on Windows XP, for instance external USB hard disk drives.
• Bug fixed that, under certain weird conditions, caused failing open requests with the error message "File/directory is not accessible. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."
• Now a file the driver has created always has cleared "x" permissions. It inherits the "r" and the "w" permissions from the directory, where it has been created, but it no longer inherits "x" permissions from its parent directory. The behavior on creating a new directory remains unchanged: a new directory inherits all its permissions from its parent directory.
