* InternetGetConnectedState() is next to useless and doesn't provide
coherent outcome on the ARM64 platform I'm testing with. This results
in Rufus declaring that Internet is unavailable on platforms that do
have actual Internet connectivity.
* Swicth to using INetworkListManager::GetConnectivity(), which actually
reports a dependable result.
* Closes#1691
* Also remove the mutex for uprintf(), which may produce thread lockout
and remove an unwanted double GetSignatureName() call on startup.
* Looks like executables installed from the Windows Store launch with a "/InvokerPRAID"
added parameter, which of course BREAKS apps that have a defined set of parameters
and don't except that Microsoft would gingerly add random unwanted stuff there...
* The provision of this extra parameter also appears to be tied to using one of:
- <TargetDeviceFamily Name="Windows.Universal" ...>
- <uap:SplashScreen ...>
- <Application EntryPoint="$targetentrypoint$" ...>
in the appxmanifest.
* This resulted in our argument processing loop to cause early exit on account that an
unexpected option was provided.
* Fix this by adding an explicit check for /InvokerPRAID and not exiting on unhandled
params and removing or altering the 3 appxmanifest options listed above.
* Also set an explicit Windows.FullTrustApplication and remove splash screen.
* Also update _pre-commit.sh to update appstore build number automatically.
* Also remove splash screen images, add store listing CSV and toggle App builds to manual.
* Closes#1690
Yes!!! We are finally *much* faster than 7-zip for SHA-256, even though
we are also computing MD5 and SHA-1 in parallel. Here are some averaged
comparative results, against the 5.71 GB Win10_20H2_EnglishInternational_x64.iso
(SHA-256 = 08535b6dd0a4311f562e301c3c344b4aefd2e69a82168426b9971d6f8cab35e1):
* Windows' PowerShell Get-FileHash: 48s
* 7-zip's SHA-256 : 31s
* Rufus (64-bit release version) : 23s
* Due to the partition gymnastic that is required by the hack that is ISOHybrid,
some ISOHybrid images that are written in DD mode, such as Ubuntu 20.10, may
result in Windows somehow "losing" the target disk from some of its listings.
* This "removal" can be seen for instance if you have diskpart already open and
issue 'list disk' after Rufus 3.13 completed its image writing.
* In the worst case scenario, Windows may flat out refuse to access the disk at
the sector level be it in diskpart or disk manager, which forces ones to clear
the partition tables on Linux or some other OS to be able to "recover" the disk.
* This appears to be mostly due to Windows VDS cache (which Microsoft assures
should be able to do a proper job of refreshing itself on its own, in the same
stride as they also feel the need to introduce IVdsService::Refresh whose sole
purpose appears to work around a limitation that Microsoft knows exists) not
being in sync with the actual disk layout.
* So we now add calls to VDS layout refresh where needed, to work around the issue.
* Also fix an ext2fs Coverity warning.
* For blank disks, GetVdsDiskInterface() may return success with a NULL pAdvancedDisk.
* Also silence the annoying "Failed to read label" error on ERROR_UNRECOGNIZED_VOLUME.
* When writing images such as tails, that contain a large ESP, Windows forcibly
removes the media while we are writing it, unless we lock the logical drive.
* Also fix a Bled Coverity warning.
* Remove early locking of logical volume (no longer necessary due to previous commits).
* Relax exclusive locking of physical drive when an ESP is created.
* This should help with #1637 and #1640
* Also add an extra check for sector size in WriteDrive()
* Factorize drive letter removal into a RemoveDriveLetters() call.
* Improve MountVolume() and RemountVolume() calls.
* Also bump Rufus version to 3.13
* Make sure that instantiated objects are released.
* Factorize the instantiating of disk interfaces.
* Allow the provision of an offset to delete a single partition.
* Add a ListVdsVolumes() call (which is pointless since Microsoft *CRIPPLED* its VDS implementation).
* SetAutoMount()/GetAutoMount() should check for INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE and not NULL.
Also we don't actually need to open MOUNTMGR_DOS_DEVICE_NAME rw to issue an IOCTL.
* ToggleEsp() failed to exit properly when an ESP offset was specified.
* Introduce PI_MAX to explicitly set the size of the partition_information table.
* write_sectors() has write retry, so there's no need to perform one on top of it.
* When we exit FormatThread(), GetLogicalName() should attempt to look for the the
main partition and be silent.
* Make sure that if we skip a deep directory during scan, we count at
least one block of data.
* Also produce a note about deep directory long scan times and improve
the formatting of some messages.
* Ubuntu switched to using GRUB for BIOS, so our update_md5sum() code was not being called.
* Move update_md5sum() to being called unconditionally to fix this.
* Closes#1616 (again...)
* GRUB have cherry-picked patches from the "BootHole" vulnerability fix at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2020-07/msg00034.html and
have applied them to their 2.04 GRUB loader.
* This results in breakage with "error: symbol 'grub_calloc' not found" when
using the release GRUB 2.04 version of core.img.
* Therefore, we too cherry-picked some patches to apply on top of GRUB 2.04
release to make our core.img compatible with Ubuntu 20.10.
* Closes#1616
* Also increase the maximum write stride for ms-sys to 64 KB (required to
write the GRUB 2.05 bootloader which is larger than 32 KB) and update hash DB.
* The presence of a > 4 GB file forces the use of NTFS which is incompatible with
SysLinux 4.x or earlier. As such, if an image uses SysLinux only, there's no
point in enabling MBR as SysLinux won't boot.
* Required for ISOs such as securityonion-2.0.1-rc1.iso.
* 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.
* These bootloaders will require LFN support. Since we don't expect that
many people to create bootable media for RISC-V derived from bootloaders
contained in a 'efi.img`, we simply ignore these for now.
* 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
