[sleuthkit-announce] New Beta, Docs, RSS, etc.

[Brian C. <ca...@sl...>]

There is a new beta up on sleuthkit.org.  The list of changes is at  
the end of this e-mail.  I think this will be the final beta. Major  
changes for users are that there is an image layer cache, libewf is  
enabled in win32 executables,  and sorter has a '-b' flag to specify  
the minimum file size, and the d* tools are not blk*.  Library users  
now have a consistent way to access attributes. There is an updated  
Autopsy to reflect the TSK name changes.

I have started to re-examine the TSK and Autopsy documents and  
rearranged the wiki and website a bit to make more clear sections for  
tool users, library users, and developers (and starting to make the  
project more open for developers).  Please add to the areas of the  
wiki that could use more documentation.

Finally, I created an RSS feed for sleuthkit.org to announce site and  
tool updates.  You can subscribe to it here:
