Plop Boot Manager 5.0.12 released
The licence has been changed for 5.0.12. The boot manager is still freefor personal and non-commercial use, but not free for commercial use! MaybeI give 5.0.12 free for commercial use in the future, but not now. New:
Hotkey ALT-u: Select/skip usb device before its fully identifed.
Ignore USB devices: Use USB Mass Storage device has been replaced with this new feature to ignore any usb device. This should avoid hangs on builtin webcams.
Booting from 2nd, 3rd or 4th hard disk activates now an int13 driver that swaps the hard disk drive number.
Updates:
Boot manager init routine updated.
Some USB driver updates.
Bugfix: The hang when using CTRL-u to boot another usb drive than the first one is fixed.
Bugfix: Strange freeze on boot window opening fixed.
New parameter for plpbt.bin: showextended=yes displays extended partitions in the main menu. plpcfgbt updated.
New Tool: plpmkboot - make FAT12/16/32 file system bootable to native start plpbt.bin. Linux and Windows version.
Experimental version: USB driver support for 4K sectors on the usb drive
Documentation reorganized
Last but not least: Because of the flop of the commercial licence (only 1 sold licence) I changed the licence back to free for commercial use. I don't want to think longer about the commercial stuff. That demotivates too much. However, the donation path was not really better, only 9 donations in 1 year (with a few hundret thousand downloads). I think, I don't have to comment that. It's a wonder that I released 5.0.14 version.
