* 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
* Factorize drive letter removal into a RemoveDriveLetters() call.
* Improve MountVolume() and RemountVolume() calls.
* Also bump Rufus version to 3.13
* 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.
* Closes#1467
* Also ensure that previous element is set when repositioning a
control to preserve tabbing order
* Also fix x64 version being able to download x86 BETA
* 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()
* Now use version 1.6 of the EfiFs drivers that enables firmwares that
don't provide EFI_DEVICE_PATH_TO_TEXT_PROTOCOL to mount NTFS partitions
regardless.
* Also use the latest version of UEFI:NTFS that displays additional info
about the system.
* Closes#1213.
* Also update version to Rufus-next.
* Also fix SBR message not being written for bootable images
* Also add an extra partition refresh after deleting partitions to try
to further force Windows take its stinking paws off our drive.
* Fix RTL location of "ISO" in the "Copying ISO files" translation for Arabic and Persian
* Fix whitespace/message ending issues for various translations
* Sync all .po's with .loc to avoid another German progress update is missing issue
* We distractedly chose to populate the message from our protective MBR
for GPT/UEFI-only boot media into the 4KB that directly followed the
MBR, which of course is space that is being used by the primary GPT.
* This resulted on systems having to fall back to using the secondary
GPT, which not all appear to be designed to do.
* Alter the code to ensure the protective message is written at LBA 34,
after the primary GPT.
* Closes#1507
* Commit [e522ef6c55] (PR #1426) regressed the '%s'
progress messages back to '%0.1f%%' which results in the percentage remaining at
zero when the UI is in German.
* msg.S now reads an ASCII message (with escaped colour sequences)
from the following blocks, which is both more flexible and allows
for more content to be displayed.
* Also adds Bochs testing to the MBR build facility
* Most distros (Debian, Ubuntu) have moved to using Sylinus 6.04 even
as it has NOT officially been released, so we want our fallback to
work against this too.
* pre1 since the Syslinux folks advise against using pre2 or later...
* Closes#1444
* Only applies for blank UEFI:NTFS drives for now. UEFI:NTFS Windows drives are
still set to use NTFS only (since Windows 7 doesn't support UEFI exFAT boot).
