4.9.2256 Jun 16, 2025 New Release Fix downloads from https://rufus.ie no longer working due to recent GitHub server changes
Fix unofficial Windows ISOs, with single index WIMs, not presenting the WUE dialog

Can speed up Windows To Go drive creation (But won't do miracles if you have a crap drive)
Might help with Parallels limitations on Mac (But Rufus on Parallels is still unsupported)
Enables the splitting of >4GB files with Alt-E (But still WAY SLOWER than using UEFI:NTFS)
