* Since we want to display the full version, "Grub4DOS 0.4.5" needs to fit in advanced mode.
Plus, the extra width should help when we drop the separate progress dialog.
* Also ensure that the "Select ISO" button is the one that gets defaulted to when no USB is present.
* Greatly improves the display of non western character sets, such as CJK.
* Note: Since I'm no longer willing to go the extra mile for XP, the way we
handle the non availability of the Segoe font there is by doing the lazy
thing and duplicating all our UI resources, in a similar way as what we do
for RTL, and setting them with the old "MS Shell Dlg".
* Also update some Syslinux V5 refs to Syslinux V6.
* Closes#308
* 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
* Fix missing DD-Image option when no drive is present
* Prevent formatting of a drive when using an image residing on same drive
* Fix ignored bootable checkbox when using a DD-Image
* Fix wrong title for error messages (due to too many concurrent loc messages)
* Add logic to mount/remount a DD image if it contains a partition we can handle
* Clear GPT structures before copying DD image in case it doesn't overwrites them
* Add a call to refresh the drive layout after copying a DD image
* Move the unlocking of logical drive further down. This may help with the
infamous "device in use by another process" error.
* With that obscene an amount of pre-releases of 6.03 (seriously, how
many more YEARS pre-release of the same version do you actually need?),
of course the syslinux people have managed to break the last remnants
of compatibility they had between a single major version, so we are now
forced to provide a smorgasbord of pre-release and out of band syslinux
binaries on our server, and make sure we detect and handle incompatible
syslinux versions clientside...
For instance, even after fixing the EFI vs isolinux issue, we find
that tails 1.1 is incompatible with 'pre19'. But it also uses its own
'20131220' extended identifier, instead of 'pre1', its closest
relative. So we have to multiply files and symbolic links to try to
keep everybody happy.
Talk about a MAJOR LETDOWN from the syslinux project...
* Closes#363
* The call for the node connection information will fail for device such as Mp3 media players
* In that case, we can still obtain the VID:PID from the Device ID
* Also improve mutex release for commandline hogger
* Tooltips were not properly displaying
* When displaying human readable size, the order for the size and suffix was wrong
* First character of "0x##" in the BIOS ID would not display as zero on an Arabic machine
* Closes#310
* Alt-I can now be used to disable ISO support. This is meant to be
used for dual ISO/DD images so that DD (disk image) mode will be used
* Also issue a message in the log to indicate whether slow or quick format is used
* Also change the cheat mode keys for force update and proper unit to C and U
* ReFS only applies for drives that are larger than 512MB
* Also fix error handling and messages in format.c
* Also add Alt-Q cheat mode for proper size units, and improve human readable size output
* Windows 8 or later uses "Microsoft Virtual Disk" whereas Windows 7
uses "Msft Virtual Disk SCSI Disk Device", so we just search for a
"Virtual Disk" substring.

* Listing an unpartitioned could result in all controls besides
drive selection dropdown being blank
* The bad blocks report was not displaying the right values
* Also update version to Rufus next
* Previous patch was creating an issue when creating an XP bootable drive for instance
* Also use our IsChecked() macro rather than IsDlgButtonChecked()
* Thanks to MS' shortsightedness, neither of IOCTL_VOLUME_GET_VOLUME_DISK_EXTENTS
or IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_DEVICE_NUMBER alone are enough to retrieve a disk number:
IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_DEVICE_NUMBER doesn't work for LVM drives and
IOCTL_VOLUME_GET_VOLUME_DISK_EXTENTS doesn't work for USB fixed drives, so we
must use both. Isn't it great?
* Closes#292

* Also alter DownloadFile and ExtractISOFile to return a size
* A new "ReactOS" is now available under "Create a bootable disk" when running in advanced mode.
* Using this option will install the ReactOS bootblocks (MBR & FAT PBR) _only_.
You can then copy freeldr.sys and freeldr.ini to make the drive bootable.
* Also move Rufus MBR installation to ms-sys, and remove mbr.bin resource.
* Also add Rufus MBR detection, remove duplicate records and display MBR type on drive detection
* Also move PBR and MBR analysis calls to drive.c and add a drive.h header
* Also make extraction of embedded loc file more robust
* This slowdown was introduced in 897becd290 as the use of
SetThreadUILanguage apparently incurs a massive performance drawback.

* Also fix a bug with reporting of VID:PID with multiple devices
* Also fix a warning in localization
* Remove the need to maintain a new_translation.loc
* Add a sed invocation to remove comments and unwanted stuff
to generate a final embedded.loc
* Note: sed is only invoked for MinGW.
MS compilers still embed the unmodified rufus.loc.

* Add quick instructions and sample for translators in new_translation.loc
* Improve About dialog
* Some ISO9660 images (such as Ubuntu) use both Joliet and Rock Ridge,
so we have to make a choice which should be preferred.
* Since Rock Ridge allows a greater filename length compared to Joliet,
we perform our scan pass with Joliet disabled, to find out if RR is
being used and if a filename longer than 64 chars exist. If that is
the case, we'll perform the extraction using RR, else we'll use Joliet.
* Also add Alt-J and Alt-K to toggle Joliet/Rock Ridge
* Closes#178
* Only supported on Vista or later
* Also disable exFAT for XP (requires a KB => not worth it)
* Also improve display of partition data for type 0x07
* Also fix and issue where exFAT/UDF would try to modify PBR
* Also logically move and simplify some of the code
* Closes#157
* Rufus was downloading c32 files in the last directory browsed, which
meant that the same file may have had to be downloaded more than once
* Closes#154
* Using "highestAvailable" elevation allows standard users to run Rufus
without being prompted for elevations, which prevents them from both
detecting and formatting USB drives
* Since non administrator access is useless, switch to "requireAdministrator"
* Closes#153
* Also fix small issues with saving log and syslinux detection report

* Use .bss and .sys from Syslinux v5.10
* Advanced options allow you to choose between v4 and v5
* Rufus does not currently copy any ldlinux.c32 to the target
* This is not full Syslinux v5.0 support, but only to prevent the (vesa)menu.c32 message from displaying

as MBR for BIOS + UEFI. We want Rufus to be able to select the
settings that were used for the drive creation.
* Also hides #116 under the carpet and fix non RUFUS_DEBUG compilation
* Contains the bulk of the code required to address #11
* Tested with Windows 8 Pro x64 (en-gb_windows_8_x64_dvd_915412.iso)

NB: ISO label is forced over user input as distros such as Arch Linux
want to see a specific label for the USB
* Closes#95
* Closes#96
