Ventoy, the widely-used utility for creating bootable USB drives, has released its latest version, 1.1.09, which includes significant enhancements and new features aimed at improving user experience. Notably, this update addresses a critical issue that had hindered openSUSE users from booting, thereby streamlining their experience.
A noteworthy addition in this version is the experimental support for the Btrfs file system, although it comes with certain constraints. This support is limited to non-RAID configurations, meaning users with RAID setups will not benefit from the advanced features of Btrfs, such as snapshots. Furthermore, the ability to compress ISO files created for Btrfs is currently unsupported, which may limit flexibility for some users.
To assist users with Btrfs, Ventoy has introduced an informative "About btrfs" page, detailing the setup process and specific functionalities within the Ventoy environment, offering greater clarity beyond the standard release notes.
Additionally, several other bugs were resolved in this update. These include fixes for persistence plugins that affected Arch Linux users, ensuring a smoother experience across different distributions. The update also addresses issues with the WebUI for managing VentoyPlugsons, which should enhance reliability for users who depend on this interface.
In summary, Ventoy 1.1.09 is focused on resolving existing issues while laying the groundwork for future enhancements, particularly with Btrfs support. Users can look forward to a more stable experience and the potential for new features as development continues.
