Version 2.6.1 of DropDMG is now available.

This is a free update that includes the following changes:

• DropDMG can now create .dmg disk images that are internally compressed using bzip2. These images can only be mounted on Mac OS X 10.4 and later, but they are often much smaller than zlib-compressed disk images.
• Made various optimizations for faster disk image creation.
• Added Mount Image (with Owners)… command. This lets you copy files off an image with their Unix ownership intact. (Normally, when you let the OS mount an image, it pretends that all the files are owned by you.)
• The Add Agreement… command is now enabled even when the License Agreements window isn’t open. This should prevent people from being confused about how to create a new agreement.
• The Append Current Date option is now applied only when creating new images, not when converting.
• If you tell DropDMG to segment an image/archive, and it ends up being smaller than the segment size that you chose, DropDMG will no longer wrap the output files in a folder (since there’s only one).
• The keyboard shortcut for Open Configurations is now Command-Option-,.
• Worked around some Tiger issues that could cause DropDMG to halt part way through creating an image.
• Worked around bug in Tiger where .bz2 and .gz files would have .dmg type and creator codes, which could cause problems opening them.
• Worked around Tiger issue so that it’s once again possible to remove a license agreement by converting (using None as the agreement).
• Better cleanup if there’s an error creating the image.
• DropDMG no longer complains when there’s no default keychain.
• .mailbundle folders are now treated as packages, even though technically they aren’t.
• Filename uniquing is now smarter when there are two extensions. So, for example, you’ll end up with Foo-1.tar.bz2 instead of Foo.tar-1.bz2.
• Fixed bug where sometimes custom icons didn’t work if you created multiple images simultaneously.
• Fixed bug where images created from volumes couldn’t be Internet-enabled.
• Fixed bug where dragging a folder onto the Preferences window (to change the destination) didn’t change the selected configuration to (custom).
• Fixed bug where StuffIt X and Tar were always enabled in the contextual menu.
• Fixed bug where Tar archive creation wasn’t package-savvy.
• Fixed bug where Zip archives of single files contained an extra folder layer.
• Added --version switch to the dropdmg tool.
• The license agreement editor is faster at auto-saving any changes that you make.
• The demo reminder window updates the number of days remaining if you leave DropDMG running for days or weeks at a time.
• Fixed bug where DropDMG could get into a state where it was permanently waiting for other operations to complete.
• Fixed bug that could cause a crash when using the Instant Purchase feature.
• Updated French and Italian localizations. Added Dutch localization.
