Helix Boot v0.6.4
Please update from v0.6.2 and v0.6.3. In those, Update from a PC without your local.toml removed Kaspersky Rescue Disk from a stick that had it: the tool is switched off as shipped, and the update took that as a reason to remove it. Fixed here.
Also new:
- Helix Boot is on the stick itself. Every stick gets a
HelixBootfolder withHelixBoot.exeandHelixBoot.sh, so it can be updated, or its look changed, from any PC. - An update says what it will do first.
HelixBoot.exeshows what it will copy, remove and keep, and asks before writing. - A new stick is named
HelixBootinstead ofVentoy.
Added
- Helix Boot on the stick itself: every stick gets a
HelixBootfolder with
the latest releasedHelixBoot.exeandHelixBoot.shand a short README, so
it can be updated, or its look changed, from any PC without downloading
anything first. - An update says what it will do before it does it.
HelixBoot.exeshows
what Update stick will copy, remove and keep, and asks before writing
when anything is copied or removed.helix sync --dry-runand
helix unpack --dry-runend with the same summary. - A new stick is named
HelixBootinstead ofVentoy(stick_labelunder
[settings];"Ventoy"keeps Ventoy's own). tests/boot/boot_menu.pyboots the menu in QEMU with every theme, on UEFI
and BIOS, and checks each came up; CI runs it on every push and keeps the
screenshots.
Fixed
- An update from a PC without your
local.tomlremoved a tool that is switched
off as shipped but that you had switched on (Kaspersky Rescue Disk): it took
"off here" as a reason to remove it. Only a tool switched off by hand in that
PC's ownlocal.tomlcounts now.
Changed
- A file on the stick that hasn't changed isn't written again on every
refresh, and one that is in use (the app updating the stick from the stick,
on Windows) no longer stops the run: it is replaced next time.
