* This is placed behind an expert wall (Ctrl-Alt-E) on account that:
- If you happen to boot a Windows To Go drive in S Mode on a computer, it may set any
existing Windows installation there to S Mode as well, *even if their disk is offline!*
- It can be *exceedingly* tricky to get out of S Mode, as the SkuPolicyRequired registry
trick alone may not be enough (i.e. You can have very much a Windows install in S Mode
*without* SkuPolicyRequired being set anywhere).
* Also set version to rufus-next and fix a ChangeLog typo.
* Debian 12 ARM64 netinst ISOs have doubled in size to be larger than 512 MB,
so we need to increase MAX_ISO_TO_ESP_SIZE as a result.
* Also add extra NULL checks in process.c as some people seem to run into
NULL deref issues.
* Also set version to rufus-next and update some URLs/text files.
* Also revert GRUB 2 core.img to vanilla 2.06, with the hope that GRUB will
*ACTUALLY* bother to release in 2023 and we will be able to update to
GRUB 2.12 (or whatever non-sequential version they decide to go with) to
say a most welcome goodbye to this whole 2.06 incompatibility crap!
* Update the relevant loc messages.
* Also add a -z commandline option to force the Windows version (but without letting
this option work as an override, if running on an unsupported platform).
* Also fix typos and broken URLs.
* How nice of "Open Source proponent" IBM/Red-Hat/Fedora to fix double space typos while making sure the
provenance of the software they are using is hidden:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/grub2/blob/rawhide/f/0024-Don-t-say-GNU-Linux-in-generated-menus.patch
* Long story short: Fedora fixed the double space in "GRUB version", but of course they didn't upstream
this change since it is part of a patch that removes every possible mention of GNU. This made our GRUB
version detection break, since it relies on finding a "GRUB version" string.
* Fix this by looking for both "GRUB version" and "GRUB version".
* This, however, does not fix Fedora Rawhide BIOS boot, since they also added custom GRUB calls such as
'grub_debug_is_enabled', which we don't have in our vanilla produced GRUB binary.
* Closes#2002.
* WinTrust.lib is responsible for the MSASN1.dll sideloading issue described in #1877,
so, since we only use it for WinVerifyTrustEx(), hook into that function manually.
* Closes#1877 for the MinGW side.
* Note that we will probably try to use the method suggested by @assarbad and documented at
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1851267/mingw-gcc-delay-loaded-dll-equivalent/70416894#70416894
to try to put an end to the problem of DLL side loading.
* If 'Extended Windows 11 Installation' mode is selected, the system registry hive of
'sources\boot.wim' is patched to add the Setup\LabConfig registry keys that bypass
the TPM 2.0/Secure Boot/8GB+ RAM Windows 11 system requirements.
* Use sources/compatresources.dll, when available, to try to detect the Windows ISO version and build.
* Also report what facility we use for formatting.
* In their great wisdom, the openSUSE maintainers added a 'set linux=linux'
line to their grub.cfg, which means that their kernel option token is no
longer 'linux' but '$linux'... and we have to add a workaround for that.
* Ubuntu switched to using GRUB for BIOS, so our update_md5sum() code was not being called.
* Move update_md5sum() to being called unconditionally to fix this.
* Closes#1616 (again...)
* 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 fix SBR message not being written for bootable images
* Also add an extra partition refresh after deleting partitions to try
to further force Windows take its stinking paws off our drive.
