* Required to support Debian Live 9.1 in ISO mode
* Note that this only works if the efi.img boot files do not require
additional content besides the one extracted from the ISO.
* Rufus now checks for processes with handles opened on the drives/volumes before
starting the format operation and asks the user if they want to continue.
* This mimics Windows' behaviour when formatting drives, and actually uses the
same message as the one from shell32.dll.mui.
* Closes#773
* 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.
* Such as WebConverger (webc-35.1.iso)
* Also fix non installation of Syslinux if Alt-E (dual UEFI/BIOS) is set
* Also update README and AppVeyor script
* 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
* Also update Bled to latest, as well as build scripts
* Note: Considering that Visual Studio 2015 is both freely and legally
available for anyone who wants to use it to compile Rufus, starting
with this commit, I will NOT be supporting any other version of Visual
Studio but 2015.
* Using /syslinux.cfg creates issues, so we force the use of /boot/[i386|x86_64]/loader/isolinux.cfg
* IMPORTANT: This does NOT fix openSuse based live ISO support as the openSuse boot scripts are NOT
designed to handle anything else but an ISO9660 filesystem. Especially, they cannot handle FAT.
* Closes#478
* Also set rufus-next to 2.2
* Check compressed DD images for boot capability
* Add DisableLGP setting
* Silence libcdio errors when scanning non ISO images
* Ensure UI displays "No image selected" when relevant
* Also update Bled to latest
* Application will start in portable mode if its name contains a 'p'
eg. "rufus_portable.exe" or "prufus.exe"
* Closes#264
* Also fix a couple smaller issues
* Add apply support to WIM image handling
* Requires Windows 8 or later (Windows 7+ for WIM API support but Windows 8+ for ISO mount)
* Also fix an issue for Windows 7 x64 EFI mode
* Add a cheat mode for VMWare disk detection
* Add a cheat mode to delete the rufus_files directory
* Don't attempt a grub2 download in case we couldn't read the version
* Don't use a shared message buffer between info and status and also
use a more logical handling of low pri/high pri and timeout
* Also fix unwanted selection of info text on restore from minimize
* Also fix the localization generation and add more messages
* And reverted grub2 to the one from b3947fc026 (reverts commit 8b47e95eb5)
since FreeNAS doesn't work with the older one.
Sorry "Super Grub2 Disk" and other older GRUB2 based tools, but you'll need to
update the Grub version you use if you want to be compatible with Rufus.
* Closes#244
* Linux has a MAJOR quirk in that labels such as "Contains Space"
get converted to "/dev/disk/by-label/Contains\x20Space".
* While Rufus already had smart label Syslinux handling (by replacing
the ones found in isolinux.cfg to their more limited FAT32 version)
there was absolutely NO WAY of guessing this quirk until ISOs
such as Red Hat 7 or CentOS 7 started to use spaces in their ISO
labels and people reported breakage!
* This commit also fixes an issue where psz_fullpath was modified when
it shouldn't, which broke Debian 7.7.0, and most likely any ISO
containing a subdirectory in the directory where a syslinux/isolinux
config file is located.
* Closes#396
* Closes#394
* Closes#388
* Closes#380
* 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
