* 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).
* Because we install our own ldlinux.sys, we must ensure that if the ISO contains
an ldlinux.sys in the root directory, this file is not copied over. However, our
comparison for the 'ldlinux.sys' string was case sensitive which means that some
ISOs such as R-Drive Image boot ISO, that use 'LDLINUX.SYS' were trying write over
our file, resulting in a file extraction failure.
* This patch ensures that the string comparison for 'ldlinux.sys' is case insensitive.
* Also add 512px sized icon (upscaled using waifu2x)
* You can use <Alt> to switch modes during an operation that supports it (e.g. Checksum
computation, DD image writing or zeroing, save to VHD, download, etc.
* IMPORTANT: This is *NOT* available for all operations. Especially, if you were hoping
to get transfer speed or ETA during ISO or WIM extraction, you *WILL* be disappointed.
* Also harmonize the code in checksum.c
* Sorry Azerbaijani speaking people, but this was only added out of
good will and, with no new translator volunteering, this out-of-date
translation was holding us back.
* Only enabled when Advanced format options are shown
* Also enable reading of extfs volume label
* Also improve GRUB lookup fallback
* Also fix possible truncation when sanitizing labels
* Also write a zeroed MBR when non-bootable is selected
* Also disable Launch button while we do so
* Also add new <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Y> cheat mode
* Also terminate update thread before exiting if running
* Also set version to rufus-next
* 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"
* Center dialog on open
* Close dialog on main application exit
* Display ISO short name & size on status bar during download
* Display ISO download progress on taskbar
* Also fix improper detection of EAGET Mass Storage USB Device as HDD
* 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.
