* This reverts much of commits f6ac559f4d and 1947266837
so that we call the Windows APIs directly again, while ensuring that, by the time we load the DLLs,
sideloading mitigation has already been applied by the application.
* This is a continuation of #1877, and should help prevent re-introducing side-loading issues when we
link against new libraries, as well as allow us to drop some of the manual DLL hooking we've been
doing to prevent it, to clean up the code.
* Note that this is a bit more complex than what the stackoverflow post suggests, because we need to
create delayloaded libs for both 32-bit and 64-bit, which use a different calling convention and
therefore need to use different .def files. So there's a lot of gymkhana involved, with Makefiles
and whatnot, to get us there.
* Also simplify the use of CM_Get_DevNode_Registry_PropertyA() in dev.c since recent versions of
MinGW now have support for it.
* Also fix 2 small issues in net.c (potential overflow) and format.c (memory leak).
* Some disk devices, such as O2Micro PCI-E SD card readers, return ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
when attempting to use ReadFile() on a volume against a non 8-byte aligned buffer.
* This patch ensures that the Syslinux buffers for sector patching are 16-byte aligned.
* HUGE THANKS to 424778940z, for the numerous testing that allowed to troubleshoot this issue.
* Closes#767
* Ridgecropt's GetFATSizeSectors() computation was incorrect
and resulted in data sectors being "wasted" (unaddressable)
* See: http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2016-February/024850.html
* Also revert the minfatsize check of Syslinux, since it no longer fails.
* Also update Bled to latest, as well as build scripts
* Note: Considering that Visual Studio 2015 is both freely and legally
available for anyone who wants to use it to compile Rufus, starting
with this commit, I will NOT be supporting any other version of Visual
Studio but 2015.
* Fix disappearance of "Start" button when selecting an ISO with
no target (reported by Sopor)
* Add commented sample ini file
* Add AC_PROG_AR macro in configure.ac
* Update ChangeLog for BETA
* Remove the need to maintain a new_translation.loc
* Add a sed invocation to remove comments and unwanted stuff
to generate a final embedded.loc
* Note: sed is only invoked for MinGW.
MS compilers still embed the unmodified rufus.loc.
* Also fix a small bug when parsing the version.
