This release fixes an issue that a few of printed message doesn't respect --no-color due to its implementation.

This release brought several fixes and improvements to WoeUSB

Highlights:

• For 64bit systems with large primary memory(i.e. RAM), a noticible severe system unresponding issue during file copying process is now workarounded.(issue #113)
• Now for full device installation(--device), a wipefs call has now being included to clean-up all known partition table and filesystem signatures to avoid grub-install failure due to false positives being detected.(issue #61)

Also this release contains a large portion of development and maintainence changes:

• Many bug fixes for Debian policy compliance, although not ready for inclusion into the Debian software archive yet.
• Many Bash scripting improvements powered by ShellCheck

Special thanks:

• We would like to thank @mprahl and @leon-anavi for fixing various English grammar issues and typos in our documentation and code.

Enjoy!

In this release, the build system files has been updated to allow other distros to work well, also the previously ill-maintained command manual pages has been rewritten.

Enjoy!

Detailed Changelog since v2.1.1

• b67b343 - 林博仁 - Debian packaging: Build dependencies: Replace git by git-core so user wont download entire large Git distribution
• 16b8c38 - 林博仁 - Debian packaging: We no longer depend on gksu

This release fixes a regression that causes optical disk drives to appear in target device list, cheers!

Detailed Changelog since v2.1.0

• 24bd015 - 林博仁 - src/data/listUsb: Fix O.D.D. always listed in target device list, fixes #109

This release mainly brought the following two changes:

• --install and --format installation options are deprecated in favor of --partition and --device, to be more clear what both options will do
  The old options will still be available until WoeUSB v3.0
• From now on, GRUB will pause for ENTER keystroke before starting to load Windows, this helps users to know if any error happens in GRUB stage.(only applies to legacy booting)

Enjoy.

Detailed Changelog since v2.0.11

• b25db28 - 林博仁 - src/woeusb: install_bootloader_grub: pause before continue chainloading operating system
• 25132b9 - 林博仁 - src/woeusb: rename --install to --partition and --format to --device
• 5d66a8f - 林博仁 - src/woeusb: Cleanup: Remove redundant line-continuation escapes in command substitution

This release fixes Windows 7 EFI booting workaround for the case where the source image already have EFI directories.

The primary issue is that according to UEFI spec the efi directory path isn't case-sensitive, we have to detect them regardless of its case and use it as the bootmgfw.efi extract destination.

Also this implements check to skip workaround if any existing efi bootloader is found.

Source media seems to be Windows 7-based with EFI support, applying workaround to make it support UEFI booting
workaround_support_windows_7_uefi_boot: DEBUG: /media/woeusb_target_1497366090_22500/efi detected.
workaround_support_windows_7_uefi_boot: DEBUG: /media/woeusb_target_1497366090_22500/efi/boot detected.
INFO: Detected existing EFI bootloader, workaround skipped.

This release fixed two issues:

• mkfs.msdos detection is not working due to typo
• mkfs.vfat and mkfs.fat not detected, which the latter is used by current dosfstools

The ./configure script has an option --enable-compat-symlinks that will configure the build to symlink older names of the tools to the current ones on installation. These are dosfsck, fsck.msdos and fsck.vfat for fsck.fat, mkdosfs, mkfs.msdos and mkfs.vfat for mkfs.fat and dosfslabel for fatlabel

This release mainly supports providing "build dependency" package for users using Debian-based distributions convenience to install all build dependencies of WoeUSB.

Detailed Changelog since v2.0.8

This is the first release that incorporates Travis CI's automatic deploy feature. Nothing else changed since v2.0.7.

Currently it will only build amd64 packages, we expect to support i386 and even more in the future.

Yikes! It seems that only Ubuntu 14.04 is compatible with the built packages, sorry for that.
