Description __acid__ 2008-02-13 16:25:31 UTC
Improvements:

    *

      The memory requirements for the TrueCrypt Boot Loader have been reduced by 18 KB (eighteen kilobytes). As a result of this improvement, the following problem will no longer occur on most of the affected computers: The memory requirements of the TrueCrypt Boot Loader 5.0 prevented users of some computers from encrypting system partitions/drives (when performing the system encryption pretest, the TrueCrypt Boot Loader displayed the following error message: Insufficient memory for encryption).


      Bug fixes:

    *

      On computers equipped with certain brands of audio cards, when performing the system encryption pretest or when the system partition/drive is encrypted, the sound card drivers failed to load. This will no longer occur.   (Windows Vista/XP/2003)
    *

      It is possible to access mounted TrueCrypt volumes over a network.   (Windows)
    *

      TrueCrypt Rescue Disks created by the previous version could not be booted on some computers. This will no longer occur.  (Windows Vista/XP/2003)

      Note: If your TrueCrypt Rescue Disk created by TrueCrypt 5.0 cannot be booted on your computer, please upgrade to this version of TrueCrypt and then create a new TrueCrypt Rescue Disk (select 'System' > 'Create Rescue Disk').
    *

      Many other minor bug fixes.  (Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux)
