hivex 1.3.9 has been released now:

  http://libguestfs.org/download/hivex/

BTW there is a regression (or maybe not) in the extra test suite.

I added this fix:

  http://git.annexia.org/?p=hivex-test-data.git;a=commitdiff;h=d1b6c9d294287642d035f3a7fb20081865962086

(which doesn't make any sense if you view it in the git web UI, you
have to actually look at the encoding in a terminal).  However now I
would need to revert that commit to make the test suite pass.

It looks as if hivexregedit isn't writing UTF-8 encoded strings for
names.  However I do not know what (real) REGEDIT writes, or what the
correct thing to do here is.
