The new 2.0.6pl2 release of the open computer forensics architecture (ocfa) has been put on sourceforge. The most important patches are: * More strict configure scripts. Fixes in configure for 64 bit (suse) platforms. * Aditional rulelist for SLES 9, to work around the problem that unzip is compiled without large file support. As a workaround 7z module is used. * Workaround for 7z bug that makes it produce its input file as output if the file names ends with 'aa' * Added workaround for indexer memory allocation problem. Clucene grows its memory usage to about 4 times the size of the largest file it is given to index, the workaround now makes sure the indexer does not get and/or process large files. The indexer problem solution, being a workaround is something we will take as a main priority for upcomming releases. We are considdering dropping the clucene based indexer and moving to the java version of lucene. The upcomming 2.0.8 release will include some enhancements (xml based serialisation for messaging) that should allow more easy integration of other programming languages based modules, that should help us move more cleanly to the java implementation of lucene. CarvFs/LibEwf integration has run into an unexpected delay as a result of composit memory consumption of carvfs/libewf in situations where numerous encase images are mounted into the repository and are then iterated.
