- Compatible with upcoming Gatekeeper changes in 10.9.5 update.
- Fixed a hard-to-trigger bug in our HFS code that might have caused a crash.
New in iPartition 3.4.3 (Sep 2, 2013)
- Fixed a crash or hang that you could get in rare circumstances when iPartition was trying to compute which partitions need moving.
- Fixed an issue where the visibility of the utility windows would not be saved correctly when iPartition terminated.

- Other bug fixes.
- iDefrag Lite has also been updated to match latest iDefrag.
New in iPartition 3.2.0 (Nov 25, 2009)
- Fixed a problem with growing NTFS volumes by a large amount (and would have caused inconsistency warnings).
- Fixed an issue with consistency warnings on wrapped HFS+ volumes.
- Added a workaround for a Kernel bug to do with wrapped journaled HFS+ volumes.
- Added support for putting HFS+ journals on external partitions/disks. Please note, this is only supported on Snow Leopard and Apple only officially support it on OS X Server.
- Fixed an assertion that you might get when relocating files for a shrink operation on HFS+ volumes.
- Fixed an issue with the bug report dialog where it wouldn't retain information entered.
- Now built as a 64-bit application although it will run as a 32-bit application by default in this release.
- Fixed the cause of an assertion failure that you can get if you change the type of a partition and then rename it on a disk with a PC/MBR partition scheme.
- Fixed a minor inconsistency issue when formatting case sensitive HFS+ volumes.
- Fixed an issue with shrinking NTFS volumes where it might complain about needing defragmentation when not actually necessary.
- Fixed an issue with compacting NTFS volumes that could have caused inconsistencies.
- Fixed a very minor issue when compacting NTFS volumes on PowerPC machines which might have caused some files to be relocated to a legal, but not ideal location.
- Fixed a crash that could occur if you tried to rename a FAT volume to something with more than 11 characters.
- Fixed iPartition so that it will work sensibly with partition types on the MBR scheme that it does not know about.
- Fixed a number of minor user interface glitches (for example, you can now correctly edit partition sizes in the partition table view).
New in iPartition 3.1.4 (Sep 21, 2009)
- Fixed some issues that occur when running on Snow Leopard, including a crash that would occur when launching with a 64 bit kernel.
- Fixed a rare crash that could occur when disks are detached from the system.
- Fixed a crash that might occur when deleting multiple operations.
- Fixed an issue which might have caused there to be minor bitmap errors after formatting an HFS+ volume, or might cause the format operation to fail.
New in iPartition 3.1.3 (Jun 15, 2009)
- Fixed an exception that triggered when iPartition attempted automatic compaction of HFS+ volumes.
New in iPartition 3.1.2 (Jun 7, 2009)
- Fixed formatting of plain HFS (i.e. Mac OS Standard, *not* HFS+/Mac OS Extended) volumes.
- Fixed Wipe operation.
- Added support for additional types of PC extended partition tables.
- Fixed a bug that allowed end users to erroneously create extended partition table partitions on PC partition tables.
- Added various new partition types, particularly for GUID Partition Tables (GPTs).
- Use a new-style lock button if not using the authorise-once feature.
- Fixed a problem with move operations involving bootable partitions.
New in iPartition 3.1.1 (Feb 20, 2009)
- Fixed a crash that could occur if you pressed a “dead” key (e.g. Option-e) in a table.

- Fixed a crash that might occur if a disk was to disappear suddenly just after trying to commit your operations.
- Fixed it so that you can no longer choose “Microsoft FAT or NTFS data” (and others) as a partition type on Apple partition maps. This is an invalid type and caused iPartition to crash in some circumstances.
- Fixed it so that you now get a warning if you try and mark more than three partitions as visible in Windows.
- Fixed a crash that could occur if the Extents file (a system file) was corrupt.
- Fixed a problem that could cause kernel panics after shrinking a journalled HFS+ volume from over 1 TB to below 1 TB. It wouldn't have caused data loss.
- Added support for setting the folder count when converting to a case sensitive partition (a new feature of HFS+ introduced recently).
