* With the removal of Windows 7 support, wrong platform archs in the check for updates
(that has now been fixed) and switch to an x86_64 default MinGW binary, we have enough
breaking changes to warrant a version bump for the major. So just do that.
* Also fix a couple Coverity warnings and update a URL.
* Existing code was trying to detect if GRUB patching was needed for GRUB bootloaders
even if they were using standard prefixes, and as a result dropped GRUB support for
any versions that wasn't 2.04 or 2.06, since we don't have a patch for those.
* This patch restores the expected behaviour to ensure that we don't disable GRUB if
a standard prefix is being used, regardless of the version being reported.
* Note that this issue only affected BIOS GRUB boot. UEFI GRUB boot was unaffected.
* Also set rufus-next to 3.21.
* Some "unofficial" Windows ISOs use a custom boot.wim that only includes the Setup
image at index 1, rather than at index 2, after the PE image, for official ISOs.
* Also refactor to add a long needed vhd.h header.
* Also fix a MinGW warning.
* This reverts much of commits f6ac559f4d and 1947266837
so that we call the Windows APIs directly again, while ensuring that, by the time we load the DLLs,
sideloading mitigation has already been applied by the application.
* This is a continuation of #1877, and should help prevent re-introducing side-loading issues when we
link against new libraries, as well as allow us to drop some of the manual DLL hooking we've been
doing to prevent it, to clean up the code.
* Note that this is a bit more complex than what the stackoverflow post suggests, because we need to
create delayloaded libs for both 32-bit and 64-bit, which use a different calling convention and
therefore need to use different .def files. So there's a lot of gymkhana involved, with Makefiles
and whatnot, to get us there.
* Also simplify the use of CM_Get_DevNode_Registry_PropertyA() in dev.c since recent versions of
MinGW now have support for it.
* Also fix 2 small issues in net.c (potential overflow) and format.c (memory leak).
* This should help with the CoreELEC usage case described in #1842
* Also add MBR handling for ESP ↔ FAT cheat mode (Alt-P)
* Also set rufus-next to 3.19
* Commit 9dc045a701 introduced a regression on account that we didn't set the
file pointer to 0 before clearing the disk.
* This leads to the MBR not being properly cleared, with the result that Windows may in turn
produce errors when trying to repartition the disk.
* Fix this by making sure we do invoke SetFilePointerEx() before calling WriteFileWithRetry().
* Also set rufus-next to 3.17
* Also fix a MinGW warning
* Factorize drive letter removal into a RemoveDriveLetters() call.
* Improve MountVolume() and RemountVolume() calls.
* Also bump Rufus version to 3.13
* Now use version 1.6 of the EfiFs drivers that enables firmwares that
don't provide EFI_DEVICE_PATH_TO_TEXT_PROTOCOL to mount NTFS partitions
regardless.
* Also use the latest version of UEFI:NTFS that displays additional info
about the system.
* Closes#1213.
* Also update version to Rufus-next.
* ASLR is enabled by default for Visual Studio builds but that isn't the case
for MinGW builds. Fix that and also add -Wformat-security while we're at it.
* Closes#1518
* Also ensure that we'll never write protective MBR message for non-bootable
GPT drives, even as we are not calling WriteSBR() for those anyway.
* Also disable Launch button while we do so
* Also add new <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Y> cheat mode
* Also terminate update thread before exiting if running
* Also set version to rufus-next
* Use a default block size of 128 KB (can speed up read operations)
* Reorganise patterns to suit different types of NAND cells (SLC, MLC and TLC)
* Only run fake drive test on first pass
* Also update rufus-next to 3.2
