  Hotfix release notes:
  
  - Fixed issue where FATXplorer could not unlock disks with null characters in their model number or serial number fields. This also fixes an issue where FATXplorer could set an incorrect password, resulting in the Xbox showing an error on boot. If FATXplorer could not unlock your HDD before, please try again after updating.
  - Fixed error that would occur when preloading from drive roots.
  - The expiration date has changed to October 2, 2022.

  - This release has an accompanying announcement post. Click here to view it: https://fatxplorer.eaton-works.com/2022/06/21/fatxplorer-3-0-beta-21-new-og-xbox-hdd-lock-unlock-tool-other-enhancements/
  - FATXplorer can finally lock and unlock OG Xbox HDDs! Use the new HDD Security Tools to manage the security status. Locked HDDs are now detected and you will be prompted to unlock before being able to load any partitions. See the announcement post for more details.
  - Removed Microsoft.AppCenter dependency, thereby removing 9 DLLs from the installation/download.
  - Increased visibility of selected text in text boxes.
  - Added a new time remaining estimate to the formatting tools progress bar, primarily to help with bigger preloads and clean formats.
  - Added new "Current Xbox Format" label to devices in the formatting tools. This will tell you if the device is already formatted for Xbox or Xbox 360.
  - At the request of team Cerbios, the default partition configuration when formatting disks for Cerbios has been updated. Instead of configuring 927.78 GB of space for partitions F, G and 8-14, space will now be split evenly between F and G. It is still possible to configure all partitions manually.
  - Fixed issue where the G partition on some Cerbios HDDs wasn't showing up as a mountable partition.
  - Fixed issue where devices without an interface type value (SD cards/readers) would not be detected.
  - Removed the "Unknown sector format" error. FATXplorer will now attempt to accommodate any sector size for its IO operations.
  - When selecting a preload zip or folder, all files will now be checked at that point instead of during the format process. This way you will have the opportunity to remove any problematic files, instead of having to restart the entire formatting process.
  - Added new note to the XL USB Apply Patches window regarding issue with select games.
  - When a partition is mounted, the device tile tooltip now includes the drive letter.
  - FATXplorer now reads the name.txt file on New Format Xbox 360 USBs and uses it as the device name (if it exists).
  - Removed the "Use Extra Memory" toggle when loading devices. A better solution has been implemented with the same performance and basically no extra memory usage.
  - The expiration date has changed to September 8, 2022.
  - Driver updated to v20.0.8181. A potential BSOD issue has been addressed. Driver updates may require a reboot.
