This version includes the driver 2.1.1. Besides a bug fix in awealloc, the main change is the auto-elevation of the control panel (imdisk.cpl). In particular, this avoids a risk of data loss when a volume is dismounted without admin privileges (because write buffers may be not flushed).
This new driver is now signed with a SHA256 certificate (and no longer with SHA1 certificate). That means it cannot run on Windows Vista x64 and unpatched Windows 7 x64.
To maintain support of these systems, at least for now, previous version of the driver (2.0.9) is installed in these cases.
In order to keep RAM use as low as possible, startup type of driver components (ImDskSvc, DevIoDrv and AWEAlloc) is now always set to manual. It should not be an issue because they are started by imdisk.exe and imdisk.cpl when required.
