Hi there,

No rush, just wanted to make you aware in case you didn't know it had 
been released.

I don't need any specific features, I just want to ship with the latest 
improvements, and from what I remember, there was a big improvement to 
recovery speed from a hard drive with a bad head.

Best,
Hamish
