Drive Bender full changelog

S.M.A.R.T now being processed by its own service (the change in the previous release failed for some users).
The Windows Server Dashboard could crash if some options were selected.
When performing a pool audit, the file size used to calculate pool-usage is now based on the size used on the drive, not the file size itself. This means the non pool value display in the Drive Bender Manager will be more accurate.
