  - Introducing Xbox 360 HDD Maker - a new FATXplorer tool designed to modify the firmware of Western Digital hard-drives to make them Xbox 360 retail-compatible. Xbox 360 HDD Maker is a full HDDHackr replacement that works on Windows desktop and even over USB!
  - Added automatic WMI repository repair functionality to resolve rare issues where device detection would finish prematurely due to "Invalid class" or "Invalid namespace" errors.
  - Improved device search/refreshing by implementing Windows Device Manager's Rescan Disks functionality. When working over SATA connections, this solves issues with disks disappearing after hotplugging, doing resets/firmware reboots, etc.
  - Improved compatibility of HDD Security Tools' Recover WD password function. It now works more reliably on newer drives (mid-2010s onward).
  - Cerbios Secondary HDD formatting support enabled.
  - Driver updated to v22.0.8971. Some rare errors were addressed. Driver updates may require a reboot.
  - The expiration date has changed to February 9, 2025.
