Amidst yesterday’s hubbub, Data Rescue II, Prosoft Engineering’s data rescue and recovery program, was updated to version 3.1 on Wednesday. The new version, a 13 megabyte download, features the following fixes and changes:

– New Expert feature for erasing any drive or volume to HFS+.

– Added contextual menu to Details View for quick access to common features.

– Improved recovery of InDesign, PEF raw image, TIFF and AVI files, for certain cases.

– Added support for recovering certain ORF raw images.

– A number of additional file types with no, or non-standard, extensions can now be previewed.

– DMG files with no partition table can now be found and recovered.

– Some improvements were made to improve Deep Scan results, in some cases.

– Some optional additional file browser columns may be shown by right-clicking on the table columns header.

Fixes:

– Activation while launched from a read-only volume wouldn’t be applied correctly.

– Erase wasn’t working on 10.4.

– Minor incompatibilities with the software update feature on 10.4.

– User interface preferences are now properly stored in the Home Folder for when booted off the DVD.

– Fixed some bugs related to running the application on a secondary monitor.
