<ul><li>Feature: Implemented automatic translation of characters that Windows Explorer considers invalid. These characters are now replaced with Services for Mac mappings (<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q117258">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q117258</a>).</li>
<li>Change: The kernel portion of the driver has been further optimized for the 64-bit kernel (feedback is much appreciated).</li>
<li>Bugfix: The amount of free disk space wasn't updated properly in Finder at all times (affects Mac OS X 10.6).</li>
<li>Bugfix: Resource fork handling didn't conform fully to Mac OS X's expectations, leading to buggy behaviour in some programs.</li></ul>

<li>Bugfix: Setting extended attributes (resource forks, quarantine flags, ...) would sometimes fail, leading to problems with file copying in the Finder.</li>

<p>When you have purchased a license, you will get a product key sent to you via email. You can then use the product key to activate the already installed copy of Tuxera NTFS (you can also choose to activate your license at install time).</p>

<a href="http://www.tuxera.com/buy/online-shop/">Online shop</a> (for purchasing a Tuxera NTFS for Mac license)</p>
<p><b>System requirements:</b> A Mac (Intel or PowerPC) running Mac OS X 10.4 - 10.6 (32-bit kernel).</p>
<p>Tuxera NTFS for Mac builds upon NTFS-3G to deliver a stable, high performance NTFS driver for Mac OS X. The main focus for development has been to improve performance and at the same time minimize the risk of data corruption, even in situations such as system crashes and accidential disconnection of hard drives without proper unmounting.
We have also made sure to add a few more features, such as support for the Mac OS X 'locked' and 'hidden' attributes, support for putting files in the 'Trash' bin instead of just deleting them, etc.</p>
<p>We need people to test this release candidate before putting it in 'release' mode, so any help would be appreciated.</p>
<p><b>The first 3 people to find a serious bug will be rewarded with a Tuxera NTFS for Mac license.</b>
This does not include the following bugs, which are known:<ol><li>Tuxera NTFS installer displays an error message after installing on systems with MacFUSE > 2.0.3 installed. (This is a MacFUSE bug.)</li><li>Switching between NTFS-3G and Tuxera NTFS preference panes within the same System Preferences session leads to bad interactions and confusing error messages. (This will be fixed in the non-RC release version.)</li></ol></p>
