| Rufus 4.9.2256 Jun 16, 2025 |
Fix downloads from https://rufus.ie no longer working due to recent GitHub server changes Fix unofficial Windows ISOs, with single index WIMs, not presenting the WUE dialog Also from Rufus 4.8: 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 |

Add a mechanism to detect and download updated DBXs from the official UEFI repository Add ztsd compression support for disk images Add a new exclusion feature in the settings, to ignore disks with a specific GPT GUID Improve detection for compressed VHD images that are too large to fit the target drive Fix commandline hogger not being deleted when running Rufus from a different directory Fix FAT filenames from embedded images being potentially truncated on image extraction Fix a side-loading vulnerability [CVE-2025-26624] with cfgmgr32.dll (with thanks to @EmperialX) Fix UI memory leaks (courtesy of @ozone10) Fall back to user/system default locale when getting error description (courtesy of @Wack0) Don't run the commandline hogger on POSIX shells Drop ARM 32-bit builds (Note that ARM 64-bit builds are NOT affected by this) Update FreeDOS and Grub4DOS to latest |
