1.0 work is now in progress.

While we still appear to have some API issues to shake out with the move to QT 5.2/Mingw 4.8 (mainly affecting Drag & Drop), we have a tentative list of features we're shooting for in 1.0:

  1. Bug fixes (always highest on the priority list)
    • Not all bugs will be fixed, but this is always top priority for each release.
  2. Shrink images to fit device (when possible)
    • This will require reading the file from the last sector of the device to EOF and determining if there is data present.
  3. File Compression support
    • Use zZip as it supports the most compression formats & is open source.
  4. Reformat device
  5. Write verification
  6. Time stats (this should be an easy feature to add)

There are a few other features we would like to include, but this is already a stretch goal (given that there are only two of us and we have a full workload aside from this project).

Sadly, we will be discontinuing active support of XP/Vista as of v0.9.5. If it works, great. If not and you really need to use XP/Vista, please use v0.9. XP support is being dropped by Microsoft, and Vista is, well, Vista. The technical answer is that there are partial API changes in Vista that were added, but changed in Windows 7/8. We can either put a lot of conditionals in the code, or we can continue to keep the code fairly tight & clean. We choose the latter. If there is a critical fix in v0.9 that affects XP/Vista, we may try to apply it, but our resources are already limited.

Thanks for using our program. Please continue to write reviews and file bugs. Your input motivates us to make this project better.
