WHAT'S NEW IN V13.5?

When searching for keywords and you are not interested in each and every search hit, but merely in a list of files that contain at least one the specified keywords, the logical search now allows you to accelerate the process with the new "one hit per file needed only" option. This saves time because it allows X-Ways Forensics to skip the remainder of a file once a hit is recorded and to continue with the next file. The resulting search hit list will be incomplete, however, it is guaranteed that it contains all the files for which there was at least one hit, and it contains each such file only once. Such a list is sufficient (and efficient!) to manually review the affected files, comment on them, copy the files off an image or pass them on to other investigators in an evidence file container etc...

A new version of libewf has been made available, with better error handling. There is basic EWF-L01 (logical evidence file) support in there, but L01 file support has been disabled because it is still experimental. The library contains no interface for extracting the logical file data yet. The documentation was updated with info on the EWF-L01 format. New features like byte conversion have been added to the ewfacquire tool. It's now possible swap byte pairs of the media data (from AB to BA) (use this for big to little endian conversion and vice versa)
