Topic: DriverPacks BASE and all DriverPacks updated to 7.04! - UPDATED
The wrong version got uploaded, a last bugfix and the BartPE functionality were not included in the 7.04 that was online. If you've downloaded the DriverPacks BASE before April 5, 11:00 (that's 11 AM, yes) GMT, please download it again! Sorry for any inconvenience.
Ye be warned, this is a lengthy post, but I recommend you to go through it from beginning to end, there's a lot of new stuff you should know about!
Finally it's here! DriverPacks BASE 7.04 is around, with major internal improvements in the Finisher, an extraction progress bar for method 2 (contributed by SuperTibaldoKart) and initial BartPE support (DP MassStorage only so far). Bart PE support is coded by OverFlow, and he did an excellent job, but it would not have been possible without the patient, fast and accurate guidance by the UBCD4WIN developers (and especially you two, hilander999 and cdob)!
And then of course, the updated DriverPacks. Listing their changelogs would probably quadruple this post's length, so I'll refer to their respective changelog pages to get to know what's changed exactly. See the ever-handy overview page that links to all device lists, changelogs and download pages!
Credits go to muiz - who's done the most work, as has become usual. jtdoom has also done a large chunk.
I'd hereby also like to apologize to muiz in particular and jtdoom, OverFlow and the others for my absence during prolonged times. But it's hard to find a balance between school, personal life and this project. Whenever the balance tips to either school or DriverPacks, I of course choose school, for obvious reasons. In the very near future, you guys WON'T be held back by me, you will be able to decide yourself when to release a new DriverPack
To the translators: all your translations will give warnings because of the new entries for the BartPE GUI profile. Don't worry, just submit your new translations through the bugtracker as usual and they'll be included in 7.04.1.
