We are excited to announce that on Tuesday, January 26th we will be releasing Version 6.1 of the P5 Software Suite. The new version includes expansive updates focused on the P5 Archive and P5 Synchronize modules. New features include:

P5 Archive

  • LTFS as native archive format on LTO: The new version supports LTFS on all operating systems (Mac, Win, Linux) and includes FreeBSD
  • Poster-frame thumbnail when creating video previews (P5 Companion)
  • Built-in FFmpeg and ImageMagick open-source tools (P5 Companion)

P5 Synchronize

  • Merging of multiple source folders into one destination folder: Synchronize different source folders in a target folder by creating a certain part of the original path in the target folder
  • Checksum verification: A checksum is created when reading the original file and is verified against it when writing the file on the target system

Additional Features

  • Updating P5 in the browser for macOS and Linux. This facilitates updates for systems, such as Amazon AMI EC2 instances
  • Media management: Optimized volume management for cloud storage
