DFSee 12.5 released

July 03, 2015 by jvw@dfsee.com

DFSee version 12.5 has been released.

It is a MINOR release, with several small fixes and enhancements,
plus improvements in file recovery, mainly for Linux and OSX.

In the online help and the DFS*.txt files all the options (like '-d:nr') have
been sorted alphabetically now, making them easier to find if there are many.

DFSee is a very powerful disk-utility with disk partitioning,
filesystem and disk analysis, some file recovery and UNDELETE
and smart imaging or cloning of partitions or complete disks.
