WoeUSB v3.1.0

In this version a check is implemented to ensure that the drive is really wiped in --device creation method, this catches the case that some drives that entered "readonly" state due to end-of-lifespan or other problems.

Example output(R.I.P. my Transcend JetFlash 790K test drive):

WoeUSB v3.1.0
==============================
Wiping all existing partition table and filesystem signatures in /dev/sdd...
/dev/sdd: 2 bytes were erased at offset 0x000001fe (dos): 55 aa
/dev/sdd: calling ioctl to re-read partition table: Success
Ensure that /dev/sdd is really wiped...
Error: check_if_the_drive_is_really_wiped: Partition is still detected after wiping all signatures, this indicates that the drive might be locked into readonly mode due to end of lifespan.
The command "return 1" failed with exit status "1", program is prematurely aborted
You may now safely detach the target device

Also the confusing winusb: line <LINENO>: <PID> terminated while true; do sleep 0.05; echo 'pulse'; message has been eliminated.

Enjoy!

Enjoy!

WoeUSB v3.0.0

This release includes major improvements to WoeUSB.

• We now support using NTFS filesystem as the target partition's filesystem, thanks to the UEFI:NTFS loader made by Rufus's author.
  • NOTE: By using --device creation method and setting --target-filesystem to NTFS the UEFI:NTFS loader will be downloaded from Rufus's repository on GitHub, internet access is required and you shall be acknowledge with the security concerns of using Rufus's software
  • NOTE: For --partition creation method to support booting, it must be repartitioned to include the UEFI:NTFS partition first
  • NOTE: Unfortunately the UEFI:NTFS loader isn't Secureboot-signed, disable Secureboot during using it is required
  • NOTE: Only available in CLI.
• Although might not be noticeable, another major refactoring is done in the code, please report any regressions on using this release.
• We added more status(green) messages to improve our transparency of the underlying building process
  

Also some compatibility breaking change is made, thus the bumping of the major version :

• --format and --install legacy option has now been obsoleted

Cheers!
