• Recovery chances prediction for ZIP and RAR archives
• Revamped recovery of MXF files (video and audio data in the Material Exchange format), added support for updated high-definition codecs
• Deep Scan – added mandatory chunk control for improved PNG recovery
• Date info processing for recovered files
• Verifying required disk space at destination when creating macOS installers
• When loading large scanning sessions users will start getting recoverable data before session files are fully loaded
• False-positives while scanning large HFS partitions are mostly eliminated
• Fewer false-positive detections of STL files during Deep Scan
