Upcoming Software and Technical-Paper Releases
We have a number of update builds planned for Diskeeper 2008 and Undelete 5.0 in the coming weeks. I'm posting some info here as advance notice.
For Undelete, we have a new 5.0 build with new features planned. Possibly even next week.
We also have a fully functioning Diskeeper 2008 Server product that we will release as a "Release Candidate" for Windows Server 2008 (aka Longhorn). This one, unlike the currently available Diskeeper 2008 software, will have Bootime defrag!
We also have a new update for Diskeeper 2008 with more Bootime defrag functionality as well as some improvements to the "controller logic" that determines when to run the "extreme defrag" engine. I'll explain these points in detail once the update is available.
I'm also assembling a new paper that compares the new Diskeeper 2008 functionality to previous version of Diskeeper, such as the extreme conditions defragmentation and Volume Shadow Copy Service compatibility. It will present test results, some charts, graphs and related info.
The best way to receive notification about new software updates is the product's Check For Updates feature, but I'll also post a notice here on the blog.

Regarding Undelete, is Vista compatibility one of the new features in this new build?

Yes it is.

Tried to address www.diskeeper.com/w2008 as offered via Information week magazine November 2007 , your site has indicated that it does NOT exist?. We would like to try the newest version. Thanks

when is the new undelete coming
you said it would be avalable weeks ago?

Hi Pavel,
It should be available this week. The software has to pass a thorough QA process before we release it. Sometimes that can take longer than anticipated.

Hi Michael,
This blog post was from three months ago. Were the boot-time functionality and other improvements ever released in a Diskeeper 2008 updated build? My version is still build 758 and check for updates yields nothing new. Is there a way to download the update separately?

Hi Marc,
No, we have not had a software release - only documents on the new feature improvements. You are current.
The software update will be released end of February, to coincide with Microsoft's new Windows Server 2008 release.
And yes, you can pull down updates separately.

Hello,
Windows Server 2008 was released this week and it is most certainly the end of February. I cannot find a link to download these updates separately. The updates I found on the Diskeeper site seem to pertain to older versions of Diskeeper. Also, with SP1 for Vista on the horizon, can I safely assume that the update to Diskeeper 2008 supports Vista with SP1?

Hi Chris,
We placed download links on the site a couple of days after the official launch at the WIndows 2008 Launch Event on Feb 29. This new build continues Vista support - including SP1.
