* 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
* Add VDS formatting support (through an Alt-V cheat mode)
* Add partition index support
* Improve(?) Windows To Go support by following Microsoft recommended partition order
* Code refactoring & cleanup
* 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.
* Some disk devices, such as O2Micro PCI-E SD card readers, return ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
when attempting to use ReadFile() on a volume against a non 8-byte aligned buffer.
* This patch ensures that the Syslinux buffers for sector patching are 16-byte aligned.
* HUGE THANKS to 424778940z, for the numerous testing that allowed to troubleshoot this issue.
* Closes#767
* Downloadable content will now be indicating, in the log, whether it can be trusted with ✓ (validated) or ✗ (caution)
* Of course this validation only applies for files we know of, i.e. the downloadable content that existed at the time the DB was
created. So, if Syslinux 8.x gets released tomorrow and we put it on our server, you'll get an ✗ regardless of its integrity.
* Closes#758
* Some stupid corporate firewalls will return garbage content for ldlinux.bss/ldlinux.sys
instead of a 403 (as they really should), which creates an issue with the code written
by the Syslinux people, as they forgot to check for potential overflows...
* 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
* 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
* 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
* Detect Syslinux version from isolinux.bin (Closes#272)
* Download required Syslinux v5+ files where needed (Closes#165)
* Also fix an issue where using a Syslinux based ISO didn't switch to ISO mode
* 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
* 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
* Better split of physical vs logical
* Add handling of unmounted volumes by GUID
* Force large FAT32 cheat mode
* Improve user messages and fix some UI issues
* 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
* If not, a VS2012 compiled Rufus will crash, as it doesn't allow
working directly on embedded resources
* Closes#118
* Also update ChangeLog for previous patch
