        !            12: - Data corruption will no longer occur when a TrueCrypt partition is
        !            13:   subjected to heavy parallel usage (usually when copying files to or
        !            14:   from a TrueCrypt partition). This also fixes the problem with 
        !            15:   temporarily inaccessible files stored in TrueCrypt partitions.
        !            16:

        !            19: - After dismounting and remounting a volume, its file system will be
        !            20:   correctly recognized by the operating system and it will be 
        !            21:   possible to reuse the same drive letter (Windows 2000 issue).
        !            22: 
        !            23: - The main program window will not be displayed when run in quiet 
        !            24:   mode (command line usage). 
        !            25: 
        !            26: - Two password entry attempts are no longer necessary to be able to

        !            30:   inaccessible to the operating system (an inaccessible partition 
        !            31:   made all successive partitions on the hard disk unavailable to 
        !            32:   TrueCrypt). 
        !            33: 
        !            34: - Relative path can be specified when mounting a file-hosted volume

        !            37: - Incorrect passwords are reported when auto-mounting (command line
        !            38:   usage).
        !            39: 
        !            40: New features:
        !            41: 
        !            42: - AES-256 (Rijndael) encryption algorithm.
        !            43: 
        !            44: - The command line option /dismountall was renamed to /dismount which
        !            45:   can now be also used to dismount a single volume by specifying its

        !            53: - The state of the random pool will never be exported directly so the
