    28     Revision history:

    29 

    30    14. 2006-01-05

    31        Updated impersonation so that use of image files stored on network

    32        drives work on Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2 and

    33        Windows Server 2003 SP1.

    34 

    35    13. 2004-06-09

    36        Small fix in file size handling.

    37 

    38    12. 2004-05-27

    39        Possible fix for memory leak.

    40 

    41    11. 2002-11-30

    42        Added ioctl to query information about mounted disk image files by

    43        request from developer of GUI.

    44 

    45    10. 2002-11-24

    46        Added a check so that FileDisk doesn't use compressed or encrypted

    47        images. For an explanation why this doesn't work see comment in the

    48        source code.

    49 

    50     9. 2002-08-26

    51        Corrected the share access for read-only FileDisk images.

    52 

    53     8. 2002-08-11

    54        Updated the control application to support UNC paths.

    55        Changed the handling of CD-ROM device objects to avoid some problems on

    56        Windows XP.

    57        Corrected the handling of file sizes so that FileDisk images can be

    58        sparse files.

    59 

    60     7. 2002-02-28

    61        Added support for CD-images.

    62 

    63     6. 2002-01-21

    64        Added support for impersonation so that FileDisk images can be stored

    65        on network drives.

    66 

    67     5. 2002-01-18

    68        Updated for Windows XP by Robert A. Rose.

    69 

    70     4. 2001-07-08

    71        Formating to FAT on Windows 2000 now works.

    72 

    73     3. 2001-05-14

    74        Corrected the error messages from the usermode control application.

    75 

    76     2. 2000-03-15

    77        Added handling of IOCTL_DISK_CHECK_VERIFY to make the driver work on

    78        Windows 2000 (tested on beta 3, build 2031). Formating to FAT still

    79        doesn't work but formating to NTFS does.

    80 

    81     1. 1999-06-09

    82        Initial release.
