Download and install - JkDefrag v3.0 (Dec 03, 2006)

• I've changed the name from plain old "defrag" into "JkDefrag". The old name was really no name at all and made talking about it a little bit awkward. The "jk" are my initials. The change in name is reflected in the names of the executables and the sources, for example "windefrag.exe" is now "JkDefrag.exe".
• The program and it's sources are now released under the GNU General Public License, and the DLL library under the GNU Lesser general public license. Previously the program was copyrighted freeware with published sources.
• New to this release is the screen saver. You can use it just like any other screensaver, go to lunch and come back to a fully optimized harddisk.
• Big changes in the DLL to give programmers access to a lot more data and to make the library completely thread-safe. The new library is not downwards compatible, although the structure and calls resemble the old library.

  Changes in the Windows version:

• Name changed from "windefrag.exe" into "JkDefrag.exe".
• Starts in a resizable window instead of full screen.
• Shows a percentage counter of how much is left to do.

  Changes in the commandline version:

• Name changed from "defrag.exe" into "JkDefragCmd.exe".
• Prints a small report with some numbers when it has finished processing a disk. The windows version saves the report in the logfile, but does not show the numbers on the screen.
• Options are now processed before processing items.
• Ultra long paths are now supported. Previously the program was limited to a maximum pathlength of 259 characters, as advised by Microsoft, but there are cases where pathnames can grow longer than that. Most Microsoft programs cannot handle ultra long paths.
• Switched to Unicode wide-character strings and system calls for filenames and paths, instead of 8-bit ANSI.
• Replaced the commandline options "o", "o1", and "o2" with the "a" options. It is now possible to run the defragger in analyze-only mode.
• It is now possible to specify individual files on the commandline.
• It is now possible to defragment/optimize unmounted volumes by specifying them explicitly on the commandline.
• Changed the way invisible system files are colorized.
• Invisible system files can now be defragged/optimized when the utility is started from a read-only medium such as cd-rom.
• Fixed a bug that could cause the program to loop when moving files using strategy 2.
• Moved the already-running test from the library to the individual programs, so that the library can now process multiple disks simultaneaously.
