ADinf32 Changelog
|
-
Fixed defect:
- Another minor improvement to the parsing of regular expressions for file extension masks.
When working with the standard set of file name extensions configured in default settings profiles, this error does not appear.
|
|
|
-
Fixed defect:
- Fixed a bug in the parsing of regular expressions when comparing file extension masks with file extensions when selecting checksum types.
The bug sometimes caused false positive selections when unnecessary file types were selected based on a given mask.
When working using the standard set of file name extensions configured in default settings profiles, this error does not appear.

-
Defects fixed:
- Bug fixed: As a result of optimizing the change search algorithms, the search functionality for renamed files was broken.
The files were marked as a pair of "deleted" and "new".
- Bug fixed: As a result of optimizing the change search algorithms, the functionality of automatic search for companion viruses by
criterion "A new file has appeared in the directory, and previously in the same directory there was a file with the same name that was renamed or moved
to another directory."
- Bug fixed: As a result of optimization of change search algorithms, the functionality of searching for double changes was broken
"The file has been modified and at the same time renamed or moved to another directory."

Improvements:
- Another refinement of the change search algorithm has led to a significant acceleration in the analysis of changes for directories and files.
- When creating a disk snapshot, ADinf32 previously stopped when inconsistency of information was detected and showed
an error message. A modification has been made that results in multiple retries being automatically performed.
constructing a snapshot and an error is issued only if all attempts were unsuccessful. By default, 3 attempts are made. More often
inconsistency arises because of some process that actively modifies the file system in parallel with the ADinf32 auditor scanning the disk.
As a rule, on the second or third attempt to scan, ADinf32 successfully builds disk snapshot.
-
Defects fixed:
- FIXED: In the initial profile selection dialog, the “Set as default and don’t ask again” checkbox did not work.
- FIXED: In the initial dialog “No disk snapshot for profile...” the checkbox “Skip this dialog for current profile in future” did not work if "Cancel" button was pressed.
- FIXED: Parsing attributes of zero-length files in NTFS could cause the program to crash.
- FIXED: Fixed calculation of CRC16, CRC32 and LAN64 checksums for all file systems of the FAT family and for exFAT.
The checksum calculation erroneously included data on disk after the file length to the end of the last cluster in the file.
CRC48 checksums for FAT and exFAT file systems, as well as all checksums for the NTFS file system, were calculated correctly.
The next time you scan file systems of the FAT and exFAT family, if checksum types are used
CRC16, CRC32 or LAN64 information about changing file checksums may appear once, which should be ignored.
After updating the snapshot, there will be no more false positives during subsequent scans.

-
The analysis of changes in the directory structure and the analysis of file changes have been accelerated.
Reworking of the algorithms was required due to the nonlinear
increased analysis time in the case of massive changes on disks with hundreds of thousands
of directories and a million or more files.
For example, after installing a Windows update.
|
|
|
-
Minor bug has been fixed.
|
|
|
-
Fixed a bug that caused the program to crash when analyzing file changes in the case
if in the settings you delete all masks of excluded files.
-
The distribution has added the ftsrch.dll file, which is necessary for the functioning of context search in the help system.
|
|
|
-
Fixed incorrect font issue in Russian Help system.
|
|
|
-
Fixed an error opening disks with the NTFS file system when the cluster size is exactly 64K. If you are using version 2.03/Gen2
and you don't have those drives, you don't need to upgrade to version 2.04/Gen2.
|
|
|
-
Added support for disks with the NTFS file system, formatted with a cluster size greater than 64Kb.
-
Fixed error in deleting files "xxxxxxxx.ADinf32.Gen2.db" in the root of disks left from v1.xx/Gen2 (clean up).
-
Information about the program version and settings profile has been added to the log file.
|
|
|
-
Added preconfigured settings profiles to check only standard Windows user
and standard Windows system and user folders. You can create new profiles by adding a profile
settings menu. When ADinf32 is installed on a machine for the first time, three settings profiles
are automatically created: check the entire disk and two new types.
-
Update at the request of users who use ADinf32 to control data on flash drives or removable drives:
If saving a copy of a disk snapshot in the root directory is enabled, the settings profile used to build
the snapshot is also saved there. The profile is saved as a standard .reg file named "ADinf32.G2_Profile([Profile Name]).reg
-
Added the ability to export a settings profile to a file. To import on another computer, you need to copy there
resulting file and double-click on it with the mouse.
-
Added deletion of files "xxxxxxxx.ADinf32.Gen2.db" in the root of disks left from v1.xx/Gen2 (clean up).
-
The storage location for disk snapshots has been moved to the C:\ProgramData\ADinf32 folder by default.
|
|
|
-
Individual drive settings are now tied not to a drive letter, but to the Volume Serial Number. Those,
disks can change assigned letters, removable disks can be connected with different letters,
the settings will be applied correctly.
-
Added a disks setting that allows you to control saving a copy of a disk snapshot in the root
directory. By default, such a copy in the root directory is kept only for removable drives.
For other discs, this copy will be automatically deleted if retention is not set in the settings.
-
Reported defects fixed.
|
|
|
-
Added the ability to include in snapshots and check only selected directory branches.
-
Added the ability to exclude selected directory branches from disk snapshots.
-
Added the ability to mark all file changes in selected directory branches as suspicious.
-
Fixed a bug in calculating CRC16, CRC32, CRC48 and LAN64 on disks with the exFAT file system.
-
Disk snapshots are backwards compatible with version 1.xx snapshots. This means that version 2.00 can read snapshots
versions 1.xx, but versions 1.xx will not be able to read disk snapshots from version 2.00.
When version 2.00 is first checked against version 1.xx snapshots, some system files, such as "Thumbs.db",
may appear in the deleted list. This is caused by a change in the internal settings of the program and is normal.
-
Version 1.xx settings are inherited by version 2.00.
|
|
|
-
Defect in removed files processing has been fixed. Please, uninstall version 1.00/Gen2 before installing new one.
Diskinfotables and settings will be presereved.

-
Folder subtrees can be completelly marked as "stable".
-
Format of diskinfotables has been changed.
|
|
|
-
Incorrect ADinf32 termination has been fixed.
Please, uninstall previous ADinf32 version before installation of v8.01 (config settings and
disk snapshots are kept when ADinf32 is uninstalled).
|
|
|
-
For versions 8.xx ADinf32 becomes Freeware
for personal use! Registration is no longer required. This is due to the start of work on the next generation of the program.
Versions of the first generation will become obsolete morally and technically with the release of generation 2.
For corporate needs, as before, you need to get a license key.
