Software update: balenaEtcher 1.5.100

Version 1.5.100 of balenaEtcher has been released. With this open source and cross platform program, OS images can be flashed to memory cards or USB sticks in a simple and safe way. In the selection screen it only shows memory cards or USB sticks, so that a hard disk partition is never accidentally overwritten, and afterwards the write action can be validated. Furthermore, it is also possible to write an image to multiple devices at the same time. The changelog since version 1.5.89 looks like this.
