This will very likely be the last version of the 3.x series - if no severe bugs emerge. Version 4 development already begun. Beside new features version 4 will also bring some other changes:

• The program was renamed to Broken X Disk Manager. This will of course not affect registered users, licenses will still be valid for all future versions of the program.
  You can now already reach my website with new addresses: http://www.brokenx.com and http://dm.brokenx.com.
• In version 4 there will only be the Unicode version. That means the software will no longer support Windows 95/98/Me. I plan this because there have already been too many compatibility issues with those Windows versions in the past. It's getting harder and harder to implement new features as well for those old systems. Moreover, Microsoft stopped offering support for Win98/Me in July, so there are no more security fixes and updates available.
  The MBCS version will then make room for an x64 edition (Professional Version only) and maybe a Disk Manager - Browser Edition.
• Version 4 stores databases in UTF-8 format to not increase the size due to Unicode encoding.

Broken X Disk Manager was successfully tested under Windows Vista™ (Beta2).
