* 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
* 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
* Also try to ignore autorun.inf issues from idiotic antivirus solutions, when writing ISOs
* Also remove the columns in the English labels (improves high DPI display)
* Also update additional ISO related messages to make them more generic
* Also fix an issue with hotplug due to WM_DEVICECHANGE being filtered out
* Also improve AnalyzeMBR() and prevent failure on WriteMBR
* Also fix a couple issues with ISO and Syslinux handling
* Also remove "smart" uncheck of disabled checkboxes - not worth it
* Download the files from files/syslinux-4.07 on the server
* Save local copy in rufus_files/syslinux-4.07
* Move menu.c32/vesamenu.c32 check to BootCheck()
* 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
* Fixes the issue that caused a revert of 0206e2036e
(in c93798b877). The issue was that an active index
was being reused and modified, for ISO9660 images, which could wreck havoc when
writing the data blocks.
* Closes#176 (again)
* Closes#176
* Also fix a crash when displaying an error message (MSG_043 requires a parameter)
* Also display an informative message on interfering security solutions when writing an autorun.inf
* Also revert x64 MSVC target to non-XP so that it can be used for Code Analysis
* 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
* This is not full Syslinux v5.0 support, but only to prevent the (vesa)menu.c32 message from displaying
* Uses the mandatory inclusion of ldlinux.c32 in Isolinux v5.x for the detection
* Part of a fix for #142
* 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
* Contains the bulk of the code required to address #11
* Tested with Windows 8 Pro x64 (en-gb_windows_8_x64_dvd_915412.iso)
and Arch Linux (archlinux-2013.01.04-dual.iso) against an UEFI 2.1 BIOS
* Also fixes missing status report beta versions check
* Add dialog for new release notification
* Do not check for updates during format or ISO ops
* Add RTF support for parser and security improvements
* Also improve init and exit of progress dialog
* Use \i386 always through SetupSourceDevice in txtsetup.sif
and prevent deletion of install directory
* Removed setupdd.sy_ patch. Now, none of the files in \i386 are modified
* Better /minint detection for MBR setup
* Also fixed an issue where mbr.bin resources would not be included
* add readout and display of extended autorun.inf label if available
* use improved isolinux config parsing
* also fix an issue that could leave drive unmounted on forced removal
* also add Alt-F cheatmode to toggle detection of fixed USB disks
* Creates an UTF-16 autoconf.inf with label, as well as autoconf.ico
* also fixed extended labels not displaying - closes#48
* also bumped version to rufus-next
* also factorized iso props analysis
* additional fixes
* Allow the use of vanilla Syslinux by creating a /syslinux.cfg
that references isolinux.cfg
* Fix#40 and #42
* Workaround for #44 by search and replace of ISO label in .cfg
* ISO9660 Joliet fixes
* Fix for broken UDF access with MSVC on some images
(eg. Arch Linux)
* Fix for broken Joliet access on ISO9660 images and
proper Joliet support in iso.c
* scan would fail on lowercase vs mixed case dir name comparison
due to Joliet (eg. using Slackware 13.37 ISO)
* extraction would fail for 4 GB ISO9660 ISOs
* also fixes cases issue when checking for isolinux/bootmgr
* also don't restrict NTFS labels
