Rufus

[harlan4096]

Rufus 4.8 (stable)

• Switch to wimlib for all WIM image processing:
  • Greatly speeds up image analysis when opening Windows ISOs
    
  • Can speed up Windows To Go drive creation (But won't do miracles if you have a crap drive)
    
  • Might help with Parallels limitations on Mac (But Rufus on Parallels is still unsupported)
    
  • Enables the splitting of >4GB files with Alt-E (But still WAY SLOWER than using UEFI:NTFS)
    
• Switch to using Visual Studio binaries everywhere, due to MinGW DLL delay-loading limitations
  
• Add more exceptions for Linux ISOs that restrict themselves to DD mode (Nobara, openSUSE, ...)
  
• Improve reporting of UEFI bootloaders in the log, with info on the Secure Boot status
  
• Fix an issue with size limitations when writing an uncompressed VHD back to the same drive
  
• Fix a crash when opening the log with the 32-bit MinGW compiled version
  
• Fix commandline parameters not being forwarded to original Windows setup.exe
