Amon_RA has just released a new recovery image for the Google Nexus One.  The new version has quite a few extra features that we’ve seen in some of the beta releases recently, but now they are all packaged in the official release.  The ability to mount the SD and EXT partitions during a ROM installation allow this latest version to support some of the new extra large ROMs that need installation to more than the regular system space of your Phone.  There’s lots more so be sure to check out the feature list below the screen shot.
