I'll try to create a wiki page with Rufus tips and tricks, where I list all theses cheatmodes, when I get a chance.Īs usual, feel free to comment or report issues either in this thread, or using the github issues page.
Personally, I believe that any feature that sends data to a remote server, no matter how minimal, should be opt-in, rather than opt-out, which is why I'll continue linking to a prompting rufus_v1.3.0.exe, rather than the promptless rufus.exe (which is what I did for the downloads section) but of course you're free to spread rufus using whichever option you prefer.Īlso note that since github abruptly decided to remove their file upload feature, I am now hosting all downloads on (and yeah, there are ads here too, which I don't like either, but it helps funding my new code signing cert).įinally, along with the automated check for updates, that creates some keys in the registry (under HKCU/Software/Akeo Consulting), I also added a new Alt-R "cheatmode", that will delete all the registry keys created by Rufus, in case you want to reset the check for updates settings.
On that subject, since someone expressed doubts about prompting every new user about the update checks, be aware that you can avoid the prompt altogether, and get the default check for update options, if you either download the version called rufus.exe or rename your download to rufus.exe. I also hope that, time permitting, you won't have to wait another 6 months to get the benefits of having automated check for updates in Rufus. The feature that actually required the most development time was the check for updates, which I foolishly thought would be a matter of a couple of days to implement, but I hope it'll be worth it. Miscellaneous UI improvements and fixes.Update Syslinux to v4.0.6 and libcdio to v0.90.Add support for VMWare ESXi 5.1 ISO images.Relax ISO9660 compliance for Arch Linux images.FAT32 format support for >32GB drives, based on fat32format, from Ridgecrop Consultants Ltd:.What this new release brings is as follows:
It is my great pleasure to announce the release of Rufus v1.3.0. (Starting a new topic with this new release, since the old one has gotten pretty long)
