* The BlackLotus malware shows that it is possible to download individual
executables and DLLs straight from Microsoft's symbol servers, so we use
that capability to download the missing Windows 8.1 'diskcopy.dll', that
contains the flat floppy disk image with MS-DOS files we need. See:
https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2013/03/09/symbols-the-microsoft-way/
* Also reorder entries in the "Boot selection" dropdown.
* Also use CreateFileWithTimeout() in GetLogicalName().
* Per 2a3e82fa96, it looks like some Windows 7 system have trouble with
LoadLibraryEx() if they don't have KB2533623 installed (which fixes a MAJOR Windows
vulnerability. Some people sure want to leave their system open to hackers...).
* Work around this by adding a fallback to LoadLibrary() in GetLibraryHandle()
* Also switch to using GetLibraryHandle() in dos.c and using LoadLibrary() in sections
where we have the full path (since these calls are not vulnerable).
* You can use <Alt> to switch modes during an operation that supports it (e.g. Checksum
computation, DD image writing or zeroing, save to VHD, download, etc.
* IMPORTANT: This is *NOT* available for all operations. Especially, if you were hoping
to get transfer speed or ETA during ISO or WIM extraction, you *WILL* be disappointed.
* Also harmonize the code in checksum.c
* Also fix another round of Coverity trigger-happy warnings (Seriously, those FALSE
POSITIVES about fwprintf can £$%^&* off — fix your frigging detection, Synopsys!)
* Not having FILE_SHARE_WRITE on a disk or volume handle helps
prevent spurious accesses from the OS or other apps while we
are repartitioning/refomatting.
* Also update Bled to latest, as well as build scripts
* Note: Considering that Visual Studio 2015 is both freely and legally
available for anyone who wants to use it to compile Rufus, starting
with this commit, I will NOT be supporting any other version of Visual
Studio but 2015.
* Microsoft removed the diskcopy.dll that contained the MS-DOS floppy image
Not a big loss, since we have FreeDOS... ;)
* Closes#545
* Also apply a long overdue refactoring for boot and target types
* Also update the README to add an icon
* Having AutoMount disabled when a Fixed drive is being used can
result in a failure during formatting (issue #386).
* Also set explicit FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL flag an normalize CreateFile usage
* Closes#386
* update copyright year
* switch relevant files to UTF-8 (without signature).
It's 2013 for crying out loud: if your file editor or file viewer
can't handle plain UTF-8, go back to the 1980s!
* also rename autogen.sh to bootstrap.sh
* sets DOS locale using the same algorithm as MS' diskcopy.dll
* uses CONFIG.SYS menu to allow US vs non US selection
* only applies to WinME/MS-DOS for now (no FreeDOS)
* also renamed msdos.c -> dos.c with minor improvements
* also added missing FreeDOS credits in about dialog
