The data in that area, aside from a potential NTFS backup boot sector, does not belong to that volume logically and was stored there before the volume was created. * General option to open volumes including the slack that doesn't add to another cluster just like when opening an entire partition. * Fixed an error in the disk I/O X-Tension API. * Support for much more deeply nested subdirectories in XFS volumes. * Generally improved GPS format consistency tests. The GPS format will be shown as 'unknown' if it is not used in camera original pictures (for example the format of the Geosetter application). * If the GPS format encountered is 'unexpected' based on the assumed source of the JPEG file, that is brought to the user's attention in Details mode. This is useful because of the habit of newer Samsung device models to specify more decimals and indirectly express the precision of the value by that, contrary to the convention to use the GPS Error tag for that information, unlike Apple and older Samsung models. * Output of GPS coordinates with up to 6 digits after the decimal point. * Additional test in the check for camera originals based on whether the EXIF tags are sorted or not. It is based on the lossy compression percentage of the DQT segment. It can assume one of the values High, Medium, Low and Very low. * Simplified output of 'Quality' in the summary table for JPEG files. * X-Ways Forensics now knows an additional 5000 devices to better identify the origins of JPEG pictures. * Improved classification of pictures based on pixel dimensions. * JPEG screenshot identification now based on generating device recognition. Significantly more UFS variants are now understood. * Technical Details Report/evidence object properties now show details of MacOS X Installations on HFS+ or APFS volumes: Exact OS X version, timezone, the system's network and display names. * APFS: Supports new Catalog ID structure as created by Mac OS Catalina. The URL of the download directory for all recent versions can be retrieved by querying one's license status as always.
