We are pleased to announce the release of version 3.2.0 of iPartition.

Please note, this version will not run on 10.3 (Panther), so please do not attempt to upgrade if that is what you are using. We have also dropped support for PowerPC G3 machines.

iPartition changes in this release:

• Fixed a problem with growing NTFS volumes by a large amount (and would have caused inconsistency warnings).
• Fixed an issue with consistency warnings on wrapped HFS+ volumes.
• Added a workaround for a Kernel bug to do with wrapped journaled HFS+ volumes.
• Added support for putting HFS+ journals on external partitions/disks. Please note, this is only supported on Snow Leopard and Apple only officially support it on OS X Server.
• Fixed an assertion that you might get when relocating files for a shrink operation on HFS+ volumes.
• Fixed an issue with the bug report dialog where it wouldn’t retain information entered.
• Now built as a 64-bit application although it will run as a 32-bit application by default in this release.
• Fixed the cause of an assertion failure that you can get if you change the type of a partition and then rename it on a disk with a PC/MBR partition scheme.
• Fixed a minor inconsistency issue when formatting case sensitive HFS+ volumes.
• Fixed an issue with shrinking NTFS volumes where it might complain about needing defragmentation when not actually necessary.
• Fixed an issue with compacting NTFS volumes that could have caused inconsistencies.
• Fixed a very minor issue when compacting NTFS volumes on PowerPC machines which might have caused some files to be relocated to a legal, but not ideal location.
• Fixed a crash that could occur if you tried to rename a FAT volume to something with more than 11 characters.
• Fixed iPartition so that it will work sensibly with partition types on the MBR scheme that it does not know about.
• Fixed a number of minor user interface glitches (for example, you can now correctly edit partition sizes in the partition table view).

iDefrag Lite changes in this release:

• Fixed an issue with the bug report dialog where it wouldn’t retain information entered.
• Fixed an issue with consistency warnings on wrapped HFS+ volumes.
