• Improved error reporting.
• Improved the predicted disk failure feature to provide more detailed information about how a disk is failing.
• Up to 30% improvement in read/write performance for mirror volumes.
• Numerous bug fixes in the SoftRAID application.
• A SoftRAID status indicator which is always displayed in the menu bar.
• Full support for the new kernel security features introduced in Mavericks (Mac OS X 10.9).

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed a bug in the SoftRAID driver which could cause data corruption in RAID 1, 4, 5 or 1+0 volumes. This bug would corrupt data during a volume rebuild and could result in incorrect volume data on RAID 4 or 5 disks and on RAID 1 and 1+0 secondary disks.
• Fixed a bug which caused the SoftRAID application to display an incorrect value for the maximum size a volume could be resized to. The old application could calculate the maximum size for a volumes using space on the disks which could not actually be added to the volume. This version only uses space on the disks which can be added to the volume.
• Fixed a bug in the SoftRAID application which caused disk labels to be erased when a SoftRAID disk was initialized.
• Fixed a bug in the SoftRAID application which affected Tech Support Reports.
