Software Update: Captive 1.1.7

Spread the love

Jan Kratochvil released a new version of Captive with 1.1.7 as the version number. This program allows you to read and write to a disk drive in NTFS format under the Linux operating system. It uses the original Microsoft Windows ntfs.sys driver and emulates some subsystems of the Microsoft Windows kernel using the original ntoskrnl.exe, parts of ReactOS, and some proprietary implementations.

Version 1.1.7:

  • Fixed sandbox restarting looking like disconnected mounts (FUSE client only)
  • Workarounded no FUSE/Linux-kernel charset support – fixes locale filenames
  • Fixed multiple issues of captive-install-acquire(1) to run at all again
  • Fixed general operations refusal on invalid errors
  • Fixed invalid file timestamps (FUSE client only)
  • Workarounded FUSE/Linux kernel user mounts (FUSE only)
  • Workarounded FUSE/Linux kernel modprobe(8)ing (FUSE only)
  • (static .tar.gz build only) Debian now a bit more compatible

Version 1.1.6.1:

  • New FUSE interface, deprecated LUFS – improve compatibility of Linux kernel
  • Provided script for proper NTFS unmounts during GNU/Linux OS shutdown
  • Updates for recently installed Microsoft binaries and files for download
  • Hopefully survives reading of many small files like on XMMS scanning
  • Improved recent GNU/Linux build environment compatibility

Version 1.1.5:

  • Fixed ignorance of the file truncate operation via LUFS (Matthias R.)
  • Support for reading of HIDDEN SYSTEM NTFS files via LUFS
  • Fixed refusal to mount some NT4.0 NTFSes (Nerijus Baliunas, Scott Chevalley)
  • Support /dev/ataraid devices (Ivan Tonov)
