IsoBuster 3.6 Beta

IsoBuster是一套CD/DVD档案恢复工具，专门解决光碟读取失败或加密档案无法取出的问题。它的最大特色是支援拖曳操作，让不熟悉指令的使用者也能轻松上手，同时涵盖CD、DVD、蓝光等多种格式，并强化错误处理与重试机制。这款软件长期维护，更新活跃，在同类工具中属于小众选择，但使用者评价普遍不错。

IsoBuster适合需要抢救光碟资料的使用者，例如光碟刮伤、读取错误或想提取加密影音内容时。与DVD Shrink、DAEMON Tools Lite等替代软件相比，它更专注于档案恢复，但试用版可能限制部分功能。此外，仅支援Windows平台，且界面为英文，使用前需留意授权与语系问题。

IsoBuster是一套CD/DVD檔案恢復工具，它可以直接讀取光碟映像檔中的檔案格式及內容，更可以將加密的影音光碟檔案取出，支援簡單的拖曳功能，讓菜鳥使用者可以方便的操作此程式。

# Changes / New:
- Support for the Linux EXT file system
- Support for Rimage mastered CD/DVD discs with manifest file
- Support for Nintendo GameCube file system
- Support for GEMDOS / Atari - ST FAT12-16 variant
- Support for High Sierra on CD-ROM (the predecessor to ISO9660)
- Implemented internal device caching, especially used during File System recognition. Many file systems start from similar addresses. Caching avoids having to re-read blocks for every file-system that is checked
- Detect if the Nintendo Wii file system is present and show an icon for it (*)
- Detect if the Linux RomFS file system is present and show an icon for it (*)
- Detect if the Unix/Linux JFS file system is present and show an icon for it (*)
- Detect if the Unix/Linux ZFS file system is present and show an icon for it (*)
- Detect if the Unix/Linux Minix file system is present and show an icon for it (*)
- Detect if the Linux BtrFS file system is present and show an icon for it (*)
- Detect if the Linux SquashFS file system is present and show an icon for it (*)
- Detect if the Linux CramFS file system is present and show an icon for it (*)
- Detect if the Linux BeFS (BFS) file system is present and show an icon for it (*)
- Detect if the Microsoft ReFS file system is present and show an icon for it (*)
- New and much faster way to find deleted files and folders in an NTFS file system
(*) Full exploration of this file system is not implemented but now an investigator can see if it is present
# Improvements:
- Extra tests to make sure a child folder doesn't have subfolders that are a parent folder, creating circular links, in buggy or recovered file systems
- Added a 'Paranoid mode' when creating managing IBP/IBQ image files, to make sure all data is flushed to the destination without system caching, and structures are updated regularly
- Allow to complete a managed image file from media of which the layout doesn't fully match, but the risk is manageable [Professional]
- Allow to complete a managed image file from another non-managed image file [Professional]
- Improved speed when updating the IBP managed image file
- Added various extraction type switches via the command line: /ET: A, IBP, WAV, RAW, R2U, RUN, DLL
- Added new file system switches via the command line: /EF: see the various newly implemented file systems
- Added Pinnacle Studio mastered DVDs to the IFO/VOB recognition sequence ("PCLE UDFLib")
- Added ability (via right mouse click) to see the properties-window-text as text in a memo field (for easy copy and paste)
- Support for underscores in function names in the libewf.dll, so that Borland bcc32 built dlls can be used as well
- Always display FileName:StreamName, with or without [ADS] appended, for NTFS Alternate Data Streams
- Removed registration dialog nag when doing a surface scan on BD media
- Improvements in the Extract From-To functionality, dialog and warnings
- Make sure testing for encrypted partitions only happens once, not every time the visual node is created (e.g. when switching devices in GUI)
- Do not read extra blocks to test for partition encryption if there are enough cached blocks
- Updated the 'Agent' string when doing an online query, to check for a new version, to be more compatible with modern servers and systems
- Reverse the order of AVDP parsing, LBA 512 first rather than 256 first, in case of a CeQuadrat made UDF disc, to deal with CeQuadrat UDF bugs
- Get the proper volume name for CeQuadrat made UDF CD-R discs
- After an image file has been made, save its filename to the recently opened image files, so that it can be opened immediately from the recent image files' list
- Improved .GI image file interpretation, specifically improvements in finding the header size
- Show files and folders with the System property in another color
- Show special files, file entries that are not used in the classical way by Unix/Linux file systems, in another color
- Show Windows overlay icons and add the shortcut overlay icon to EXT symbolic link files
- Added checkbox to options to uncheck using CD-Text in filenames, when audio tracks are extracted
- The file-exists dialog now also allows to auto-rename a file, instead of over-writing or ignoring the file (non-Windows file systems allow duplicate but caps-sensitive names in the same folder)
- New dialog to auto-rename filenames that are illegal in Windows but OK in other non-Windows file systems
- Auto-rename folders, during extraction, when they contain illegal Windows-filename characters or a Windows-reserved file/folder name.
- Show Endianess in UFS, XFS, ISO and SquashFS and other File System properties
- Improvements in drag&drop functionality and the use of the temporary folder. Better clean-up afterwards
- Possibility to always get the RETRY SELECT ABORT error dialog (instead of RETRY OMMIT ABORT) on file extraction
- Various improvements, changes and re-writes in the core code / engine, as this is a living project and to deal with the ever growing new functionality
- Various GUI improvements
# Fixes:
- Fixed GUI issue that caused incorrect values to be displayed in certain error messages
- Fixed possible hang when EWF image files are loaded
- Fixed that sometimes the sanitizing part after finding missing files and folders on a FAT volume could take 'forever', due to bad FAT records
- Fixed data-corruption issue, introduced in 3.5, while extracting files with more than 10 extents (fragments would be extracted in the wrong order)
- Fixed it so that when an IBP/IBQ is made twice in a row from the same media (without a refresh) the bitmap is still fully written out to the IBP
- Avoid exception error on bad IBP without (enough) bitmap data (rare test case)
- Fixed extraction of named streams of an NTFS folder (not file)
