* In some circumstances, this *might* help with the infamous #312 issue, though
I will still recommend to figure out which application is keeping a lock instead
of trying to cheat...
* 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.
* Since Microsoft forces our hand, we hack away into our compiled RC
resources and change dialog attributes on the fly so that:
- we can switch between LTR & RTL
- change the font for Windows XP
* Note that the base RC font has been changed to "Segoe UI Symbols"
so that it looks the same in the editor (at least for English) but
can accommodate the length required for "MS Shell Dlg"
* 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

* Add 64x64px icon so that the About dialog looks better at 200% size
* Ensure that focus is set back to a button after some operations
* Remove a confusing forced focus on Start after boot type dropdown selection
* Ensure that the Advanced Options and Select Image buttons have a label that
can be picked up by screen readers such as nvda
* Closes#243
* Closes#499
* The language button is now a toolbar button with a dropdown arrow.
* Its icon is a globe for Windows XP to Windows 7 and a globe with characters
on it for Windows 8 and above (same as the icon for the 'Languages' control
panel).
* Closes#488
* Closes#468
* Also prevent drives with UEFI:NTFS from being listed as multi-partitions
* Also add a label for the UEFI:NTFS FAT partition
* Also fix internal chver script
* This can be useful when launching Rufus from the commandline or a batch file with 'start /wait'
* Also fix a crash when specifying an unknown commandline option
* Also fix the commandline usage help
* Also fix Grub4DOS and Grub2.0 versioning issues
* Also ensures that operation gets canceled on missing download
* Also fix German translation and remove trailing whitespaces in .loc file
* Also fix inverted display status for VMWare disk detection
* Check compressed DD images for boot capability
* Add DisableLGP setting
* Silence libcdio errors when scanning non ISO images

no target (reported by Sopor)

and also fix the vertical text alignment
* This will randomly produce a message for users of a translation that
hasn't been updated in a while requesting help and pointing them to:
http://rufus.akeo.ie/translate
* Closes#435
* Also fix a WDK compilation issue with strtoll
* MinGW's gcc 4.9.2 seems to implement a broken "%lld" format 64 bit integer is
followed by more variables and the app executes on XP => use PRI macros
* Also fix partition ID being ignored when using Rufus MBR
* Also fix some global vars shadowing and add other improvements
* 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 Windows To Go tooltips
* Set UEFI:TOGO partition type to EFI System Partition
* Improve apply-image progress report
* Fix MBR analysis for 4k disks
* Do not select Rufus MBR for Windows To Go
* Ignore partitions we don't care about
* Fix issues with AltMountVolume()
* Try to support 4k drives when setting up MS EFI partition
* Zero the start of the MSR partition to prevent leftover detection
* Fix unwanted use of MBR hidden sectors and redundant CloseHandle()
* Fix addon of BIOS compatibility extra partition
* Print apply image progress to info box
* 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 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
* This allows no-sweat UEFI support of Windows installation ISOs
that contain a >4GB file for instance
* This is done through UEFI:TOGO (https://github.com/pbatard/uefi-togo)
and the efifs NTFS driver (http://efi.akeo.ie)
* Closes#414
* This will also be part of our implementation of #126
* Since we want to display the full version, "Grub4DOS 0.4.5" needs to fit in advanced mode.
Plus, the extra width should help when we drop the separate progress dialog.
* Also ensure that the "Select ISO" button is the one that gets defaulted to when no USB is present.
* 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
* Having AutoMount disabled when a Fixed drive is being used can
result in a failure during formatting (issue #386).
* Also set explicit FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL flag an normalize CreateFile usage
* Closes#386
* Fix missing DD-Image option when no drive is present
* Prevent formatting of a drive when using an image residing on same drive
* Fix ignored bootable checkbox when using a DD-Image
* Fix wrong title for error messages (due to too many concurrent loc messages)
* Add logic to mount/remount a DD image if it contains a partition we can handle
* Clear GPT structures before copying DD image in case it doesn't overwrites them
* Add a call to refresh the drive layout after copying a DD image
* Move the unlocking of logical drive further down. This may help with the
infamous "device in use by another process" error.
* 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
* The call for the node connection information will fail for device such as Mp3 media players
* In that case, we can still obtain the VID:PID from the Device ID
* Also improve mutex release for commandline hogger
