DiskDigger full changelog

The new Avalonia-based version of DiskDigger is now the default for usage in Windows, macOS, or Linux. The older version (for Windows only) is still available for download, in case you encounter any issues with the new version. (If you purchased a license key for DiskDigger, it will work with either the new or old version.)
When looking at the list of recoverable files, there is now an option to view the files and folders as a tree, in addition to viewing them as a list or as thumbnails.
Hugely improved detection of file and directory metadata from unallocated blocks in NTFS, FAT, and ext4 partitions. DiskDigger is now even better at finding deleted files and directory structures that are no longer known to the filesystem itself. Specifically for NTFS, there is also improved parsing and recovery from the $UsnJrnl file.
Similarly improved support for finding orphaned file and directory entries in APFS and HFS+ partitions.
Significantly improved performance when reading compressed disk images (E01, VMDK, QCOW2).
Further improvements to using BitLocker-encrypted volumes and encrypted APFS volumes.
Improved detection and recovery of Insta360 photos and videos.
Improved previewing of MP3 metadata.

Interface updates:
The interface has been made simpler, yet more powerful. After selecting the drive you want to scan, you simply select the types of files you'd like to look for, and DiskDigger does the rest. There are options to search for "All file types" or "Specific file types". Selecting a specific file type may result in slightly faster performance.
When the scan is completed (or during!), DiskDigger organizes recoverable files into two tabs: "Found in file system" and "Found in free space". The files in the "file system" tab are recovered through parsing the file system structures on the disk, and the files in the "free space" tab are found outside of the file system, or from a corrupted disk, or from the free space on your disk.
The interface now also has improved support for high-DPI displays, adapting its fonts and icons more properly to your screen's pixel density.
Data recovery engine updates:
The data recovery algorithms that power DiskDigger have been streamlined and unified. In previous versions, users needed to select between two different modes of recovery ("deep" and "deeper" mode), but no more: in the newest version these have been combined into a single scan of your disk, which performs both a filesystem-aware search plus a free-space carving search, and makes all the results available to you for browsing, filtering, and recovering.
Support for ReFS has been further expanded from the previous version.
Improved support for recovering files in unallocated clusters in exFAT partitions.
Tons of additional minor bug fixes and enhancements.
