Bug Description

There is a new upstream version available Testdisk 6.12 since May 2011 - see http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_6.12_Release ; please update package to the latest upstream version. New version can use modern libntfs-3g instead of the old libntfs10 and has support for btrfs and exFAT.

Philippe <email address hidden> build a deb of testdisk 6.12, feel free to merge latest patch at :

testdisk (6.12-1) unstable; urgency=low
  * New upstream release
  * debian/rules: dyn version
  * debian/watch: add

He offers help into comaintaining testdisk, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=630255

Bellow are main improvements of new Testdisk 6.12 release:

General Improvements:
fidentify, a little utility sharing PhotoRec signature database, is now build by default. It identifies the type of data contained in a file and reports the extension as seen by PhotoRec. It is similar to the Unix file command. Add compatibility with
    libewf 20110312
    ncurses 5.8
    ntfs-3g
Fix detection of Encase 6 .ewf files

TestDisk:
    Convert the directory name when it can't be created (Fix for Windows/Cygwin version)
    Better HPA/DCO detection: handle the case where native_max is null.
    Image Creation is now faster tahn previous version when there are bad sectors
    List and copy files from exFAT filesystem
    Improved NTFS undelete interface

PhotoRec:
    PhotoRec checks for EFBIG (file too large) error when writing files. It's usefull to avoid erronous message about "no free space available" when recovering to a FAT filesystem.
    Recover files from exFAT unallocated space
    Use doc/xls/ppt title to name recovered Office document, use first filename in zip archive...
    Possibility to add your own extension/custom signature to PhotoRec
    Generated a report.xml file using Digital Forensics XML
