    The latest version of The @stake Sleuth Kit (TASK) and Autopsy are now
    available with support for NTFS file systems. TASK now supports NTFS,
    FAT, EXT2FS, EXT3FS, and FFS file systems.  Together, TASK and Autopsy 
    now provide the same features found in many commercial tools.

    - Import password and group files when making a file activity time line.
    - Improved sorting
    - MD5 values are generated for every file created by Autopsy.

    - New interfaces
    - Changes to handle all of the NTFS attributes (alternate data streams)
