Truecrypt 5.0a fixt einige Bugs der 5.0er Version und beseitigt so die meisten der ohnehin wenigen Fehler, spätestens jetzt man kann wohl unbedenklich(, nachdem man ein Backup der wichtigsten Daten gemacht hat) seine Systempartition verschlüsseln!
Folgende Bugfixes und Verbesserungen sind erfolgt (Quelle) :
Improvements:
- The memory requirements for the TrueCrypt Boot Loader have been reduced by 18 KB (eighteen kilobytes). As a result of this improvement, the following problem will no longer occur on most of the affected computers: The memory requirements of the TrueCrypt Boot Loader 5.0 prevented users of some computers from encrypting system partitions/drives (when performing the system encryption pretest, the TrueCrypt Boot Loader displayed the following error message: Insufficient memory for encryption).
Bug fixes:
- On computers equipped with certain brands of audio cards, when performing the system encryption pretest or when the system partition/drive is encrypted, the sound card drivers failed to load. This will no longer occur. (Windows Vista/XP/2003)
- It is possible to access mounted TrueCrypt volumes over a network. (Windows)
- TrueCrypt Rescue Disks created by the previous version could not be booted on some computers. This will no longer occur. (Windows Vista/XP/2003)Note: If your TrueCrypt Rescue Disk created by TrueCrypt 5.0 cannot be booted on your computer, please upgrade to this version of TrueCrypt and then create a new TrueCrypt Rescue Disk (select ‘System‘ > ‘Create Rescue Disk‘).
- Many other minor bug fixes. (Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux)
