Division M, the developers of Drive Bender have today announced they’ve reached their first Release Candidate milestone. Release Candidate 1 of the add-in for Windows Home Server 2011, (alongside other Windows client and server releases) has just been issued with the following changes:
Release v1.2.0.0 release candidate 1 (2011-10-04)
- Update: New user interface for both the Windows and WHS clients.
- Bug fix: Balancing operations could create a locking issue if there was a file / folder rename or delete request.
- Update: All drives are now checked at start up and an alert is raised if there is one or more drives missing from the pool.
- Update: Drive letter management is now fully implemented (this automatically removes and adds drive letters to drives added and removed from the pool).
- Update: Improvements to adding, removing and merging of drives.
- Bug fix: Improved duplication when enabled on existing folder.
- Update: Orphaned Drive Bender temp files are now cleaned up.
- Bug fix: Logging no longer stops when there are a large number of entries.
- Bug fix: Installation of blank license key is no longer allowed.
- Known issue: Documentation was omitted from this release due to time constraints. This will be supplied in RC2.
- Known issue: The unmanaged pool mode is disabled. Because of the “feature freeze” for RC1, this is still incomplete.
- Known issue: The list view in the WHS addin is not grouping by default. To manually group this view, right-click the view and select “Group”, then “Drive type”.
A discounted purchase programme for Beta testers has also just been launched, with the add-in available for $20 for a limited period until full release.
