2.0.0.1

- Progress bar reporting when running tasks
- New User Interface with more modular design
- Ability for backup server location to be set for downloaded software
- Minor tweaks on Amiga environment
- Changes to config.txt so Pistorm16 support will work when Pistorm16 included as part of Emu68 Github Releases
Disk Set up
- Disk partitioning now works as proper disk partitioning so you can add/create/delete/move partitions rather than just resizing them
- Multiple 0x76 partitions can be created if you wish to use them
- Rather than a single Work partition you can have more than 1 (or none). All partitions will now be formatted rather than just the first one. You can use whichever device name and volume name you choose. Note, the Workbench partition currently remains with a fixed volume name and device name
- Ability to define settings on Amiga partitions as you can within HDToolbox (e.g. boot priority, buffers, device name, volume name, etc.)
- When writing to an image, in addition to .img files you can write to .vhd image files which only use as much space as the data contained within the image
Configuration of Image
- Option to select which icon set you wish to install (e.g. glowicons vs standard icons)
- Option to add/remove packages from install (e.g. language files)
Writing of Image
- Use of the latest version of HST Imager so no longer a need to write to an image before the image is then written to a disk (i.e. significant saving in temporary space needed particularly when writing large images)
- Significant performance improvements in speed of execution - this is impacted by the speed of your SD card as individual files are now written directly to the SD card which can be slower than writing a large image so your mileage will vary depending on the speed of your SD card, the number of files you are writing and the SD Card adapter used
Also many “under the hood” changes too numerous to mention.
1.0.6.5
- Uopdated Github link for Emu68Tools
1.0.6.4
- Forced download of GeNet 1.3 (since 2.0 requires custom version of Emu68)
- Updated documentation links for download
1.0.6.3
- Changes to the Onlinescript to allow for use in menutools. Roadshow send and receive parameters are now stored in their own file.
1.0.6.2
- Bugfix for the Emu68-Updater script introduced in 1.0.6.1
1.0.6.1
- Bugfix for the Emu68-Updater script which would cause it not to work in rare circumstances
1.0.6
- Added genet.device for Ethernet connections for Pi4/CM4 users where Kickstart version >= 3.2

- Added AreWeOnline by TomCat
- Added additional software from Aminet to support the above (CLICon, aget)
1.0.5.2
- Improved the Online script to better handle where connections do not work. Where connections have failed but WirelessManager remains connected, WirelessManager is closed so the log can be accessed on the Amiga (previously the log was inaccessible as WirelessManager locks the file). The logs for WirelessManager, AddInterface from Roadshow and sntp are all concatenated and written to RAM:WirelessLogs.Txt so the user can see all the information in one place for troubleshooting
1.0.5.1
- Added check for encrypted Cloanto Kickstart ROMs so the user is alerted if they have chosen this ROM since it will not work on PiStorm without being decrypted
1.0.5
- Added support for installing AmigaOS 3.9
- Fixed TransferKick to account for where there are no Kickstart files in the Kickstart folder
- Minor bug fixes
1.0.4.3
- Added functionality to support AmigaOS 3.2.3.
- Revised Imager code to better allow for future versions of AmigaOS to be added without impacting previous versions of Emu68Imager
1.0.4.2

- Added filter so versions of Emu68 >= 1.1 will not be downloaded. This is a temporary measure until this version is released and is supported
- Changed downloading of documentation to the Amiga so that if the download fails that the image will still be created
1.0.4.1
- Fixed issue with the Quicklink on the disclaimer window not working (thanks to Makedonk for identifying)
- Added check for 64bit OS so Imager will not start if 32bit version of Windows is used

- Updated install packages to include XPK (included in live updates)
- Added Picasso96 ENV “DisableAmigaBlitter” setting to prevent graphical corruption arising with the most recent PeterK icon.library version under Kickstart 3.1 and using a RGB Workbench screen where clicking on icons could result in graphical corruption
1.0.3
- Fixed prioritisation of ADFs so that 3.1 ADFs are correctly prioritised (Commodore, then Cloanto, then Escom)
- Introduced check for latest version of input CSV files at start up to allow for updates without a new version of the tool being required
- Minor bug fixes (e.g. typos in terminal output, missing screenshot from documentation copied to image)
1.0.2
- A check for and a message will be displayed if the .HDF file created is then locked for access by another process.
- The sequencing of the ADF files searched for has been changed to reflect some omissions noted in some of the Escom disks for 3.1.
- Accessing files FROM the network should work for mapped network drives. It will not work for UNC links (those starting with double backslash - servername) due to limitations in HST-Imager.
- There is also a check to prevent a user from select a network path for the working folder as this will not work
1.0.1
- Added check for whether the .hdf file is locked after creation to try to address if antivirus/anti-malware programs have locked the file for access
- Added messagebox at the conclusion of the tool running to alert the user the tool has successfully completed
- Removed the 7 Cities of Gold RTB file from the Install Packages
