R-Linux Changelog
What's new in R-Linux 5.0 Build 156616
Mar 16, 2015- S.M.A.R.T. attribute monitoring. R-Linux can display S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) attributes for hard drives to show their hardware health and predict their possible failures. Any unnecessary work with such hard drives should be avoided if S.M.A.R.T. warnings appear.
- Accelerated disk scan for fast-read devices.
- Search for deleted file versions. R-Linux can search for deleted file versions using their sizes, names and extensions, and recognized file types as the search parameters.
- Improved data selection in the Hexadecimal editor. Now the beginning and end of the area to be selected can be set by the "Select from" and "Select to" commands in the shortcut menu.
- Appending data to an existing file in the Hexadecimal editor. A file fragment selected in the editor can be appended to an existing file.
- An external file can be loaded to a selected position in the file opened in the Hexadecimal editor.

- Scan process visualization. While scanning an object, R-Linux graphically shows items that have been found.
