IsoDock 1.0.0-6

Bootable USB Manager for Linux

IsoDock is a Linux desktop utility for creating, installing, and updating multiboot USB drives through a native GTK3 interface.

This release introduces the first polished IsoDock production candidate, combining a redesigned desktop experience, custom IsoDock boot interface, Linux packaging, diagnostics, and the proven Ventoy 1.1.17 open-source boot engine.

Independent project: IsoDock is not affiliated with or endorsed by the official Ventoy project. Ventoy remains the underlying boot/disk engine and retains its original copyright and licensing.

  • Native GTK3 Linux desktop application
  • Create and update multiboot USB drives
  • Custom IsoDock silver/blue boot interface

  • Improved USB device detection
  • Fixed unmount handling for mount points containing spaces
  • Runtime integrity verification
  • SHA-256 runtime manifest validation
  • Built-in --doctor diagnostics
  • Debian/Ubuntu .deb packaging

⚠️ Release Status

1.0.0-6 is currently a production candidate.

Automated source, package, runtime, boot-image, integrity, dependency, branding, and regression checks have passed.

Physical USB testing across different BIOS/UEFI systems is still recommended before describing this release as universally hardware-certified.
