Beta Stage
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All versions listed below were treated as stable and so on, but actually
they were highly unreliable. Program's internal structure is very complex,
it uses a lot of undocumented Windows calls. Therefore bug hunting was
always extremely hard, especially in early days when an author had
no enough experience.
In other words, all versions prior to 4.0.0 must be treated as products
of the beta stage of program's development.
Version 3.3.0 2009-12-04
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- volume optimization algorithm was highly improved
- fragments threshold filter parameter was added
- UD_TIME_LIMIT option was added

of Windows; this is achieved by adding the User Mode Driver to it
- program's reliability increased by removing error handlers caused
infinite loops
- now the program can be used in Windows Safe Mode when the user mode
driver is enabled
- since this version native 64-bit binaries aren't available
due to the C compilers internal bugs (Windows DDK, Windows SDK, Pelles C,
MinGW x64 were tested); portable UltraDefrag can be used now on all of the
64-bit systems instead of the native 64-bit packages
- NOTE FOR PROGRAMMERS: to successfully compile the user mode driver run
configure.lua script, check 'Apply patch to MinGW' box and click OK
once again
