- Revamped recovery of MXF files (video and audio data in the Material Exchange format), added support for updated high-definition codecs
- Deep Scan – added mandatory chunk control for improved PNG recovery
- Date info processing for recovered files
- Verifying required disk space at destination when creating macOS installers
