This is a pre-release version for testing.

Notable changes in this release - ShredOS

• Updated the linux firmware from version 20210511 to version 20230625. This adds over 100 extra AMD GPU binaries. This is a full firmware update and is not limited to only adding extra AMD firmware but updates all firmware in the linux firmware package.
• Increased vfat partition size from 130 MByte to 170 MByte to accommodate the updated firmware.
• Updated bootx64.efi that now include extra modules that support tftp PXE booting.

Notable changes in this release - Nwipe

No changes. There will be lots of nwipe changes in the v0.35 release. HPA/DCO detection, PDF reports, ATA secure erase.

Note

• The .img file for writing to a USB flash drive is both legacy (bios) and UEFI bootable.

As this is only a preview for testing booting on previously non bootable devices I'm not planning on creating .iso's or 32bit versions, unless somebody specifically has a system that for some reason they cannot boot using USB.
