Titolo: [ANNOUNCE][UPDATE] TrueCrypt v3.1 (traveller mode)

]
|
| Version History - v3.1 - January 22, 2005
|
| Improvements:
|
| * Partitions/devices that are already in use by another driver
|   (usually an anti-virus utility) can now be mounted.
|
| * It is now possible to run multiple instances of the TrueCrypt Volume
|   Creation Wizard.
|
|
| New features:
|
| * TrueCrypt can now run in 'traveller' mode, which means that it does
|   not have to be installed on the operating system under which it is
|   run. There are two ways to run TrueCrypt in 'traveller' mode:
|
|   1) After you unpack the binary distribution archive, you can directly
|      run 'TrueCrypt.exe'.
|
|   2) You can use the new 'Traveller Disk Setup' facility (accessible
|      from the 'Tools' menu) to prepare a special 'traveller' disk and
|      launch TrueCrypt from it. This facility can also configure a
|      'traveller' disk in a way that when it is inserted, TrueCrypt is
|      automatically started or a specified volume is mounted (note that
|      this works only when the 'traveller' disk is a removable medium
|      such as a CD or DVD; Windows XP SP2 is required in case of USB
|      memory sticks).
|
| * Volumes can now be mounted as read-only. This can be set in the newly
|   implemented 'Mount Options' dialog, which can be opened from the
|   password entry dialog or by holding Control while clicking 'Mount'.
|   (Command line usage: '/mountoption ro')
|
| * Volumes can now be mounted as removable media (for example to prevent
|   Windows from creating the 'Recycled' and/or 'System Volume
|   Information' folders on the volume). This can be set in the newly
|   implemented 'Mount Options' dialog, which can be opened from the
|   password entry dialog or by holding Control while clicking 'Mount'.
|   (Command line usage: '/mountoption rm')
|
| * Default mount options can be configured in the main program
|   preferences (Tools -> Preferences).
|
| * 'Refresh Drive Letters' function added to the tools menu. It can be
|   used when Windows Explorer fails to register a newly mounted volume
|   (for example when it is not shown in the 'My Computer' list).
|
| * Volume can now be selected by dragging its icon to the TrueCrypt
|   program window (this also allows to avoid the Windows file selector).
|
| * '/auto devices' auto-mounts all device/partition-hosted TrueCrypt
|   volumes (command line usage).
|
|
| Bug fixes:
|
| * The 'Auto-Mount Devices' facility will not mount 'phantom' partitions
|   on some removable media (e.g. USB memory sticks).
|
| * In some cases TrueCrypt did not use all available space on some
|   removable media (such as USB memory sticks).
|   Remark: This bug was inherited from E4M, so it applies also to
|   volumes created by E4M.
|
| * Freezing caused by applications not responding to drive change
|   messages when mounting/dismounting TrueCrypt volumes will no longer
|   occur.
|
| * Users are now prevented from setting a too small cluster size when
|   creating a FAT volume (which caused various problems).
|
| * The command line parser no longer causes TrueCrypt to crash.
|
| * Other minor bug fixes

| Version History - v3.1a - February 7, 2005
|
| Bug fixes:
|
| * Volumes mounted as removable media can now be checked/repaired
|   ('chkdsk.exe'), defragmented, formatted, etc.
|
| * Volume Creation Wizard now respects default mount options set via
|   Tools > Preferences.
|
| * Fixed bug which caused mount/dismount to fail on some systems.
|
| * The TrueCrypt uninstaller is now always installed during
|   installation.
|
| * Relative paths can be used with the /volume option (command line
|   usage).
|
| * Drive A: will no longer disappear from Windows Explorer
|   (e.g., 'My Computer' list) after 'Dismount All'.
|
| * Other minor bug fixes
|
|
| Improvements:
|
| * When running in 'traveller' mode, the TrueCrypt driver will be
|   unloaded when no longer needed (e.g., when the main application
|   and/or the last instance of the Volume Creation Wizard is closed
|   and no TrueCrypt volumes are mounted).
|
| * Access mode (read-only or read-write) is now displayed in the
|   volume properties dialog.
|
| * Other minor improvements
