A new version of R-Studio for Linux is available for download.
New features
+ Support for the ReFS 3.10 file system.
+ Support for Bitlocker Drive Encryption. R-Studio can decrypt both BitLocker Drive Encryption and BitLocker ToGo volumes using either a password, recovery key, and a .bek file. R-Studio Technician/T80+ can also use FVEK (Full Volume Encryption Key) or VMK (Volume Master Key) data for decryption.
+ Support for VHD/VHDX/VDI disk image formats. All R-Studio versions can load these files, R-Studio Corporate and Technician/T80+ can create them.
+ Read-only support for the dmg files (Apple Disk Image: all versions ), e01/(ewf) files (Expert Witness File Format: R-Studio Technician/T80+), and aff files (Advanced Forensic Format: R-Studio Technician/T80+).
+ Support for creation of encrypted RDR image files (the main disk image format for all R-TT, Inc products).
+ Support for SCSI/NVME translation for external USB/NVME boxes. Among other things this makes it possible to obtain S.M.A.R.T. attributes for such devices.
