* Combined with the increase in buffer size from previous commits, this
should help us get close to a device's maximum write speed.
* Also add async write support to winio.h
* Also increase the buffer size for bad blocks check operations
* This is in preparation for async reads
* Also move open/close image operations to WriteDrive()
* Also increase DD buffer size to 32 MB to improve performance
* Commit 77d319267f broke lookup of ISO filenames since iso9660_open()
enabled the Rock Ridge extensions by default, despite using ISO_EXTENSION_NONE
for the internal call, and we addressed a FIXME related to this.
* This resulted in Rufus not being able to lookup 'boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' to parse GRUB's
version, since without Rock Ridge, 'i386-pc/' is unable to match the ISO-9660 'I386_PC/' dir.
* Closes#1573 and addresses part of #1616.
* Also fix a MinGW compilation warning.
* Don't use hDrive handle for longer than necessary
* Move all the popcount() function calls into missing.h
* Ensure that the thread_affinity[] array is properly sized
* Improve timeouts for conflicting process search
* This is mostly aimed at Debian 11 netinst on the Raspberry Pi 4
* Only available for regular UEFI ISOs if GPT and FAT are selected (no MBR ESPs).
* Also fix a MinGW warning in GetUnusedDriveLetter()
* The upcoming Ubuntu 20.04 comes with MD5 validation turned on by default.
* When creating persistent boot media, we may update some of the validated files
to add persistence, update the search labels, etc.
* Make sure that the files we modify get their MD5 updated where needed.
* Also add 'loopback.cfg' to the list of config files we can add persistence to.
* Part of #1499
* Surround macro params to ensure expected results
* Fix copy-paste errors
* Fix a potential buffer overflow in SetSectionHeaders()
* Add const modifier where relevant
* Use GetWindowLongPtr() everywhere
* Use proper sprintf format for unsigned int
* Use %s for printf-like funcs (https://www.viva64.com/en/w/v618/print/)
* Closes#1464
* Implement CreatePreallocatedFile() which uses NtCreateFile() to create files with preallocated sizes.
This is used during ISO extraction to improve performance.
* Remove now-unused preallocate_filesize which was called after CreateFileU().
* Closes#1445
* Fix use of EXT2_BLOCK_SIZE() instead of EXT2_INODE_SIZE() during inode
initialization, that made us zero way many more blocks than was needed.
* Also disable sparse_super feature and improve block setup.
* Also explicitly use IS_POWER_OF_2 macro where required.
* Make sure they are always unchecked for pure DD images
* Make sure Quick Format is checked and disabled for ReFS or Large FAT32
* Also make sure Fixes for old BIOSes is disabled for pure DD images
* Remove unused iso_op_in_progress and use a single op_in_progress that gets
set when we disable the controls.
* Also fix an issue where Ctrl-L was being processed as Alt-L due yet another
completely backwards Windows behaviour where the message that is meant to
indicating whether Alt is pressed is also sometimes used to indicate that
another key is being pressed if the dialog doesn't have keyboard focus...
* 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
* Only UEFI boot for now (GRUB) & requires a post 2019.07.26 ISO for Ubuntu.
* This adds the relevant persistence/persistent kernel option to the conf file, sets the
expected volume label and creates a /persistence.conf file where needed.
* Also improve token parsing by ensuring a token is followed by at least one white space.
* 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
* Add display of persistence controls on relevant images
* Add progress on ext3 formatting and improve error reporting
* Also improve MountVolume() and fix some Coverity warnings
* Also disable Launch button while we do so
* Also add new <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Y> cheat mode
* Also terminate update thread before exiting if running
* Also set version to rufus-next
* Since we have compression available through Bled we might as well use it
* Also validate that the download URL comes from https://github.com/pbatard/Fido
* Also prevent the check for update from running while we are downloading ISOs
* Also fix an issue where Rufus doesn't report an error if 'fmifs.dll' can't be found (#1284)
* Also improve GitHub issue template to mention that Ctrl-L can also be used to access the log
* 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.
