* What would be nicer was if half these Coverity issues weren't false positives...
* Also update Readme and fix progress bar colour not being reset after error
* FS selection might default to NTFS instead of FAT32 after having selected a Linux ISO if
no drive was plugged in when the ISO was selected and then a drive was plugged using NTFS.
* Also display Fido's exist code
* Closes#1255
* Center dialog on open
* Close dialog on main application exit
* Display ISO short name & size on status bar during download
* Display ISO download progress on taskbar
* Also fix improper detection of EAGET Mass Storage USB Device as HDD
* This is accomplished through Fido (https://github.com/pbatard/Fido), a *SIGNED*
PowerShell script, that is downloaded from GitHub and that resides in memory for
the duration of a session.
* The reason we use a downloaded PS script, rather than an embedded on, is because:
- Microsoft have regularly been changing the deal with regards to how retail ISOs
can be downloaded, and not for the better, so we can't simply embed a static
means of downloading ISOs and expect that to work forever.
- By using an external script, we can immediately respond to whatever new means of
*ANNOYING* their legitimate users Microsoft will come up with next, as well as
make sure that, the minute a new retail version of Windows becomes available, it
also becomes available for download in Rufus.
* Note that if you are concerned about downloading a remote PS script that is being
run at the same level as an elevated application, you should understand that:
- Only scripts downloaded from GitHub, from an account that is protected with 2FA,
are allowed to run (i.e. someone would first have to steal a *physical* 2FA key
to be in a position to upload a malicious script).
- On top of this, only scripts that are signed with a separate private key (RSA +
AES-256), that is itself also protected with a strong unique password which only
a single person knows (and must manually enter each time they want to make a new
version of the script available for download), are allowed to run.
The above means that there's about as much chance for someone to manage to upload
a malicious script on the GitHub servers, that Rufus would allow to run, as there
is for someone to upload a malicious version of Rufus itself.
Still, if you are paranoid and have concerns that, even as you can validate from
its source that Rufus does not attempt to execute any remote script unless a user
actively selected and clicked the DOWNLOAD button, you can also completely disable
the remote script download feature, if you just set the update check to disabled
(which, by the way, Rufus *EXPLICITLY* asks you to choose whether you want to
enable or not, the very first time you run the application).
* Also remove _unlinkU() which duplicates what DeleteFileU() already does.
* Closes#1268
* Issue was introduced in 521034da99 and has
to do with VS2017's handling of static strings in RELEASE mode.
Fix is to use a static char array instead.
* Also fix MinGw build warnings and increase process search timeout
* Relying on system MUIs was too brittle and provides us with no guarantee
that the translated messages we need will actually be there.
* Also fix space before question mark in French translation.
* With no thanks whatsoever to Microsoft for *NOT* documenting that you need
to pass flag 0x2000000 to WIMCreateFile() if you want to avoid an open error.
One has to wonder if Microsoft isn't deliberately adding *BULLSHIT FLAGS*
that only they know of, to hinder competing third-party tools...
* Also revert a472e96e87 as this is creating
unwanted detection issues as per #1239. We'll try to devise a better way
to avoid intempestive refreshes later on.
* efi.img was not always being properly process (e.g. proxmox-ve_5.2-1.iso)
* Note that this doesn't mean that the ISO will properly boot, just that we will
now properly detect and install the EFI bootloaders that reside within the .img
* Instead of x86_32 and x86_64.
* This should aid with our appxbundle creation and if Microsoft want to
be wholly incorrect in their arch designations, who am I to judge?...
* FAT32 would become available and selected as default FS when
selecting a Windows ISO with a >4GB file and then clicking
"Show advanced drive properties".
* Range not being set when plugging a drive
* Set position to zero when no drive is selected
* Make sure the restored position can not be greater than the max
* As per https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/838, 'res/*' means
all files within directory, non-recursive, whereas we want 'res/'
for all files within directory, recursive.
* Make sure translations that are the same as English are removed in the .po
* Automate digital signature
* Add a more distinguishable icon
* Also update French translation
* Now only use major.minor for version references
* Drop the use of LOC_FRAMEWORK_VERSION. We'll use custom handling if we ever need a framework change.
* Also update/fix some of the UI elements for persistent partition
* Also reposition the language selection menu when we don't have a large number of them
* Also fix last lang message not being properly processed
* Also update loc file comments in preparation for the new framework
* Also update Rufus version data
* Ctrl-Alt-Z can now be used to zero a drive, while skipping blocks that are detected empty
* Depending on your hardware, as well as the existing drive content, this strategy can greatly
speed up zeroing operations, especially if the flash memory's read speed is much higher than
its write speed.
* Closes#1174
* Also add a test ISO to display these controls
* The intent is to use the next round of translation to get these new UI elements localized,
as any translation work takes _months_, and it is a precondition to start working on #691.
* Also fix new issues with image options when switching language
* This doesn't mean we'll get persistence support any time soon, but any UI work
on this needs to be carried out *MONTHS* in advance because of the translators.
* 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
* Now preallocate the file size for each extracted file, to help the target
filesystem avoid fragmentation issues and thus increase writing speed.
* Closes#1170
* Add a proper delay before retrying a write operation and increase retry count to 4
* Add retries when clearing boot records or when zeroing a drive
* Also improve log output from USB device reset
* Some Thai UTF-8 notification messages went over the buffer size limit we used for vsnprintf()
* Also, revert part of 645184f11e and use LRE+PDF marks instead:
Don't handle in the code what is better handled in the loc file.
* We now auto resize the height of the Notification dialog according to the
number of lines of the message.
* Also harmonize local RECT variable names according to what we do elsewhere.
* *THIS* is what you need to do to replace Microsoft's broken SetDllDirectory("")
implementation and mitigate DLL sideloading from local directories.
* Also fix some comment typos
* We were switching the global boot type variable to something other than BT_IMAGE,
which prevented ISO extraction whenever a GRUB secondary boot record was written.
* Closes#1145
* This is a "stealth" update for the 3.0 release
* The issue was that we are picking the UTF16 file system name from
the dropdown, and where we use the "(Default)" suffixed version,
it now has an RLE at the beginning which we must skip.
* This prevented RTL languages from being able to format a drive as FAT32...
* Looks like the openSUSE people are abusing the ISO9660 file system,
and libcdio should be a bit more relaxed about it.
So we alter libcdio to be more chill...
* Also relax the annoying 'from_733: broken byte order' messages
* Closes#1136
With thanks to Itiel
* Fix a potential buffer overflow in lmprintf for RTL languages
* Automatically apply RLE/PDF to all RTL messages, and remove the RLE/PDFs from the .loc
* Fix Windows messing up of multiline RTL tooltips (The trick is, if you want actually
want RTL, you need to *disable* RTL... Sure, Microsoft, that makes a lot of sense?!?)
* Also properly scale the length of the multiline tooltips according to the zoom factor
* Closes#1132
* Because of Windows' poor handling of toolbar buttons' tooltips, an unwanted
tooltip could be displayed onscreen after closing the log.
* Also fix an issue when Rufus would reset the partition type to GPT after a
user created an MBR flash drive (e.g. after creating a Windows bootable USB).
* Also add a retry in PKI's GetSignatureName()
* This should help with getting a "The downloaded executable is
missing a digital signature" message when launching an update.
* Closes#1130
