o Version 3.8 (2019.09.16) [BUGFIX RELEASE]
Fix regression where some ISOs (Debian) would produce a Syslinux error when booted in BIOS mode
Fix potential 0xC0030057 errors when trying to create a persistent partitions on a non-FIXED drive
2019-09-09 10:58:32 +00:00
o Version 3.7 (2019.09.09)
Finalize persistent partition support for Debian and Ubuntu [EXPERIMENTAL]:
2019-08-26 11:43:12 +00:00
- Debian with persistence should work out of the box with any recent "Debian Live" ISO.
- Ubuntu with persistence should also work *IF* using a post 2019.08.01 ISO. Note that,
because of bug #1489855, trying to use persistence with Ubuntu ISOs that were released
before August 2019 will only result in rescue mode during boot - You have been warned!
- Other distros may work with persistence as long as they use a Debian-like or Ubuntu-like
method, and, in the case of Ubuntu-like, if they use casper with the #1489855 bugfix.
- Persistence and ext formatting support should still be considered EXPERIMENTAL at this stage.
