What's new in version 10.10:

* Adaptec RAID metadata: added support of RAID60 with Adaptec RAID6 rotation;
* HP SmartArray: added recognition and support of 0+1-style rotation;
* When software is closed or iSCSI server is stopped, locally mounted iSCSI targets are now disconnected automatically;
DDF metadata:
- Added support of RAID 10/'Far' rotation and RAID 00 rotation (as a subvariant of RAID0);
- Also added support of RAID metadata timestamps;
Reworked RAID10/RAID1E support:
- Added support of multiple data copies in rotation: from two and up to number of disks;
- Added support of 'Far' and '0+1' rotations in addition to Near/Interleaved (or 'Offset'/'Near' in terms of mdadm);
* Automatic RAID builder:
- Reworked assembly algorithm to fix an issue that prevented automatic building of RAIDs with some metadata damage scenarios;
- Added support of RAID metadata 'last updated' time (when available) for selection of more recent components to build the RAID;
- Removed automatic adding of 'incompletely rebuilt' components (when it's possible to identify them);
MDADM RAID:
- Added support of metadata timestamp and 'incomplete rebuild' flag (both metadata versions 0.9 and 1.x);
- 'Reshape in progress' scenario is now also supported by combining already reshaped and pending areas;
- Added proper support for 'Offset'/'Near'/'Far' RAID 10 rotations with multiple data copies;
* Intel MSM: fixed issue with recognition of RAID10/1E configurations;
* Update to procedure of automatic partition detection:
- Implemented additional checks to distinguish between partially overwritten GPT and MBR formats;
- Added more checks to quickly detect lost/deleted partitions, now including BitLocker (when possible);
* Manual partition search tool: optimized speed and fixed issue skipping existing partitions for 'free space'-only scan;
* Storage properties panel: added display of RAID metadata last modified timestamp (when available) to check for 'outdated' components;
* Image viewer: fixed a bug with displaying JPEG with present, but empty EXIF.
