* 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
* Tooltips were not properly displaying
* When displaying human readable size, the order for the size and suffix was wrong
* First character of "0x##" in the BIOS ID would not display as zero on an Arabic machine
* 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
* ReFS only applies for drives that are larger than 512MB
* Also fix error handling and messages in format.c
* Also add Alt-Q cheat mode for proper size units, and improve human readable size output
* Windows 8 or later uses "Microsoft Virtual Disk" whereas Windows 7
uses "Msft Virtual Disk SCSI Disk Device", so we just search for a
"Virtual Disk" substring.
* Closes#306
* Adds Microsoft VHD/VHDX mounted image support
* Also fix an issue where some devices would not be detected due to CM_Get_Device_ID_List_Size() returning a list size larger than actually required
* Closes#305
* Closes#139
* Listing an unpartitioned could result in all controls besides
drive selection dropdown being blank
* The bad blocks report was not displaying the right values
* Also update version to Rufus next
* Previous patch was creating an issue when creating an XP bootable drive for instance
* Also use our IsChecked() macro rather than IsDlgButtonChecked()
* Thanks to MS' shortsightedness, neither of IOCTL_VOLUME_GET_VOLUME_DISK_EXTENTS
or IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_DEVICE_NUMBER alone are enough to retrieve a disk number:
IOCTL_STORAGE_GET_DEVICE_NUMBER doesn't work for LVM drives and
IOCTL_VOLUME_GET_VOLUME_DISK_EXTENTS doesn't work for USB fixed drives, so we
must use both. Isn't it great?
* Closes#292
* 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()
* Only as a cheat mode (Alt-N)
* Also fixes inconsistent MBR partition numbering
* Also update a comment in vhd.c about callback progress (thanks to Erwan)
