Version 1.7.9 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 secure 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 following improvements have been made in this release:
Changes in version 1.7.9
- patch: update allowed extensions to include deb afterinstall in build
