+* Boot ISO and IMG directly using memdisk
+* Added feature for selecting ISO, IMG, Zip and all files options in file chooser dialog
+* Corrected path to menu.lst file for distrs based on grub4dos
+* Fix for crash when multicard reader is inserted on the system without a SD card
+* Correctly detect USB disk information using udisk2-dbus without crash under Linux
+* Fixed an issue where using a path with spaces would cause a qemu boot error
