Release 4.5 PRO 30/11/2004

- Added SmartSettings copy option
Automatically initializes and set new multiboot installed images (and backups) with all your usual system settings (favourites, channels, all antenna's parameters, lnbs and motor configuration, video, language, etc..)
The SmartCopy is a powerful option that analyzes the new installed image or backup, and copies to it only the compatible configuration settings, in a smart way, generating no compatibility issues at all even between different images developed by different Teams.
And works also on images with compressed /var folder!!!

- Added Logo picture (bild) change/add capability for multiboot images.

- Added clipboard copy-paste buttons for SmartTelnet window (also with keyboard shortcuts: CTRL-C and CTRL-V)

- SmartTelnet window is now wider than standard telnet clients, much more confortable.

- Some minor fixes

Release 4.0 PRO 01/10/2004 - first public release of FW 4.0 PRO

New Features:

- FlashWizard PRO is now a standalone program: you dont need to install DreamFlash for having images on multiboot. FlashWizard PRO installs multiboot images on /mnt/usb/fwpro/ and /hdd/fwpro/

- ONLY 40K required space on flash image! So, more space free for our emus, plugins and settings... ;-)

- Installs images on Usb Stick and/or Hard Disk, even used together:
the installed images will be automatically recognized at boot time, then loaded from their install devices.
Up to 100 images allowed, both on hdd or usb stick.

- Allow Boot Logo display (the starting picture) also for multiboot images!
To use this feature, you need >= 1.08 image in flash.

- Has his own 256 colors boot menu shown at boot time.
Select an image and press OK to load it: the boot logo (if available) will be displayed.

- Automatically checks and installs his boot menu on flash image (even if you are actually running a multiboot image).

- Activates the  VCR SCART output at boot time, allowing display of the boot menu also through the devices connected to it (i. e. a video-sender connected to VCR out)

- FLASH install:
FlashWizard PRO performs a check (verify) of the data written to the flash memory while installing an image (or restoring a flash backup), to make sure the install will come out without errors.
If a data block went bad in writing, FlashWizard PRO automatically rewrite it to flash, until it is stored without errors.

- Widely improved the backup/restore procedure, much more speed up the archiving phase.

- Deutsch language included (Thanks to Lapidis - http://www.dreambox.info)

- Turkish language included (Thanks to Sanchooo187 - http://www.dreambox.info)
