Changes from v2.6 Beta -> v2.6

• IsoBuster 2.6 was released today. The main new feature is the complete integration of Unicode in the GUI, which means that you can run the program on any system in any language, but more importantly that you can inspect any language disc or image file on any system. For instance inspect and extract Arabic filenames on an English system. The combinations are endless. Besides this major new feature there are again several new goodies to be checked out, so download and install asap.
