* 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
* This should help Windows users who create a GPT/UEFI drive and try to use it in BIOS/Legacy
* Also make sure that we take into account the split space for both "SELECT" and "DOWNLOAD"
* 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.
* With no thanks whatsoever to Microsoft for *NOT* documenting that you need
to pass flag 0x2000000 to WIMCreateFile() if you want to avoid an open error.
One has to wonder if Microsoft isn't deliberately adding *BULLSHIT FLAGS*
that only they know of, to hinder competing third-party tools...
* Also revert a472e96e87 as this is creating
unwanted detection issues as per #1239. We'll try to devise a better way
to avoid intempestive refreshes later on.
* Ctrl-Alt-Z can now be used to zero a drive, while skipping blocks that are detected empty
* Depending on your hardware, as well as the existing drive content, this strategy can greatly
speed up zeroing operations, especially if the flash memory's read speed is much higher than
its write speed.
* Closes#1174
* This doesn't mean we'll get persistence support any time soon, but any UI work
on this needs to be carried out *MONTHS* in advance because of the translators.
* Use a default block size of 128 KB (can speed up read operations)
* Reorganise patterns to suit different types of NAND cells (SLC, MLC and TLC)
* Only run fake drive test on first pass
* Also update rufus-next to 3.2
* Add a proper delay before retrying a write operation and increase retry count to 4
* Add retries when clearing boot records or when zeroing a drive
* Also improve log output from USB device reset
* We were switching the global boot type variable to something other than BT_IMAGE,
which prevented ISO extraction whenever a GRUB secondary boot record was written.
* Closes#1145
* This is a "stealth" update for the 3.0 release
* The issue was that we are picking the UTF16 file system name from
the dropdown, and where we use the "(Default)" suffixed version,
it now has an RLE at the beginning which we must skip.
* This prevented RTL languages from being able to format a drive as FAT32...
* Whole screen was being refreshed when calling InvalidateRect() in ResizeMoveCtrl()
* Progress bar bounding rectangle could be erased at 0.0%
* No progress was displayed when writing ISOHybrid images in DD mode
* Also fix an issue when write error would not display the error string
* File indexing is too much of an annoyance on removable drives anyway
and this should help with perf and access issues
* Alt-Q cheat mode is now changed to re-enable file indexing
* Also fix a rogue 'else' in the code
* Needed because native Windows produces obnoxious tearing on redrawing.
* Also rename global partition scheme variable back to 'pt'
* Also fix major and minor version numbers in the .rc
* If, for example, you have a truncated gz-compressed file and try to
write it to disk, bled_uncompress_with_handles() will return an error.
Previously, this was not reported back to the user.
* Closes#1040
* Required to support Debian Live 9.1 in ISO mode
* Note that this only works if the efi.img boot files do not require
additional content besides the one extracted from the ISO.
* Fix memory leaks due to not releasing the heap
* Also speed up lookups by not reopening the same process twice in a row
* Also make the usb_debug variable global so we can use uuprintf everywhere
