A new version of free R-Linux for Linux and Windows is available for download.
New features:
+ Estimation of chances for successful file recovery
+ An advanced algorithm for raw file recovery (search for file signatures).
+ Data recovery speed and results are improved by using a new data analyzing and recovery kernel.
+ Support for processing of the file system journal for Ext3/4fs partitions. That increased a number of successfully found files.
+ Support for recovery of extended attributes for Ext3/4fs. That improves recovery of Linux selinux ACL.
+ New extended duplicate file processing options.
+ A completely overhauled file previewer which can now show picture tiles and first frames of video files as icons, and supports a large number of video/audio/graphic/document file formats. These files can now be played back without their respective applications installed.
+ Support for mdadm RAIDs.
+ Components management for the LVM disk manager has been added.
+ Support has been added for S.M.A.R.T. attributes for NVME devices.
+ Search for Not equal string has been added in Text/hexadecimal editor.

* Improved data copying.
