* 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
* Linux has a MAJOR quirk in that labels such as "Contains Space"
get converted to "/dev/disk/by-label/Contains\x20Space".
* While Rufus already had smart label Syslinux handling (by replacing
the ones found in isolinux.cfg to their more limited FAT32 version)
there was absolutely NO WAY of guessing this quirk until ISOs
such as Red Hat 7 or CentOS 7 started to use spaces in their ISO
labels and people reported breakage!
* This commit also fixes an issue where psz_fullpath was modified when
it shouldn't, which broke Debian 7.7.0, and most likely any ISO
containing a subdirectory in the directory where a syslinux/isolinux
config file is located.
* Closes#396
* Closes#394
* Closes#388
* Closes#380
* 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
* 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
* 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
* Also try to ignore autorun.inf issues from idiotic antivirus solutions, when writing ISOs
* Also remove the columns in the English labels (improves high DPI display)
* Also update additional ISO related messages to make them more generic
* 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()
* Detect Syslinux version from isolinux.bin (Closes#272)
* Download required Syslinux v5+ files where needed (Closes#165)
* Also fix an issue where using a Syslinux based ISO didn't switch to ISO mode
* Also alter DownloadFile and ExtractISOFile to return a size
* A new "ReactOS" is now available under "Create a bootable disk" when running in advanced mode.
* Using this option will install the ReactOS bootblocks (MBR & FAT PBR) _only_.
You can then copy freeldr.sys and freeldr.ini to make the drive bootable.
* Also move Rufus MBR installation to ms-sys, and remove mbr.bin resource.
* Also add Rufus MBR detection, remove duplicate records and display MBR type on drive detection
* Also move PBR and MBR analysis calls to drive.c and add a drive.h header
* Also make extraction of embedded loc file more robust
* move Spanish translation to its expected location
* set gitattributes for the loc file
* update license, factorize is_x64(), remove unwanted messages
* Fix an issue where the parsed drive_type was from the wrong drive
and remove the global variable
* Add a size check for the score, as well as a GetDriveSize call
* Also update the French translation to v1.0.3
* Initial scoring to try to differentiate UFDs from HDDs (#219)
* Also improve GetDriveLetter() and add a global for fixed vs removable
* Also fix a bug with reporting of VID:PID with multiple devices
* Also fix a warning in localization
