*** External/secondary drive scanning issues are partially fixed, but some issues remain. We are investigating a resolution for future versions.

What's fixed:

'Check for Updates' scans now check to see which drives are included/excluded in preferences at time of scan
Bugs identified and fixed in VTPro that were causing watch list corruption after including/excluding drives
Certain external drive volumes being ignored despite being included in preferences for scanning

What's not fixed:

VTPro won't recognize drives that are added while VTPro is running
Attempting to download an update with VersionTracker Pro running under emulation on the Intel-based Macs causes a crash inside the operating system libraries. We are working on a fix for this, if you are interested in participating in testing the fix please send us an email and we will contact you when we have a build ready to test. VTProWish@techtracker.com
VTPro won't proactively disregard drives that are removed while VTPro is running
We are investigating a few isolated cases where preferences to exclude or include certain drives are not saved when VTPro is quit then relaunched

Suggested workaround for what's not fixed:

If you physically add or remove any external drives (including firewire, USB, thumb drives, iPods, etc.) then you must restart VTPro or the external drive status changes won't be recognized
