Upgrade note: Due to some database schema changes in this release, the update process might take a bit longer than usual.
New in this release
Added a new filter for email and communication artifacts for the number of attachments.
You can now identify the items that iOS users have deleted (if they haven't yet been cleaned up on the device). [UFED, XRY]
Better logging has been added to evidence parsers to make debugging easier.
Chat message attachments that were deleted by the user are now identified with a label instead of being hidden. [UFED]
Videos are now generated in H264 format by default, resulting in faster load times. You'll also likely see an increase to the number of video hits in your cases.
System accounts are no longer being included as Contacts. You might see a decrease in the number of Contacts hits in your cases due to this change.
Bug fixes
Processing would sometimes get stuck (with a high CPU load) even though all files were processed.
Not providing a name for an evidence unit would cause Excel reports to break.
Exports from Magnet AXIOM would fail if exported files contained invalid characters in their path. [Magnet AXIOM]
The system would periodically lock up during a session.
Some encrypted files were not being identified as encrypted during processing.
Loading very large drives or images would sometimes cause the UI to stop responding. Performance improvements have been made to load these items quicker.
Previously, the date column for reports was sorted alphabetically. The column now sorts chronologically.
Running fti_upgrade.sh would backup MySQL before updating the MySQL config. Now, the update to the MySQL config happens before the backup to MySQL.
Users with Supervisor permissions incorrectly had access to the System Management screens.
Emails would "finish" processing before their attachments were done. This resulted in users being able to view an email before its attachments were ready.
Known issues
If you view the EULA screen in Magnet REVIEW, it might appear empty. New users will be prompted to click accept on the empty EULA screen before they can proceed.
Emails that include multiple attachments do not display their attachments properly, and only one attachment will be processed. [Magnet AXIOM]
