  v0.5.8 — Windows ISOs just work + Storage UX Pre-Release

  OpenPXE v0.5.8 — Windows ISOs just work, plus Storage UX

  Windows boot (no setup, no SMB)

  Windows ISOs now boot out of the box via iPXE HTTP sanboot — iPXE
  exposes the raw, unmodified ISO as an emulated CD backed by on-demand
  HTTP range reads, and Windows Setup boots from it. No SMB server, no
  extraction, no operator toggle, works in any environment. Nothing is
  injected into Windows (no httpdisk.sys, no test certificates, no
  trust-store changes).

  • Broadened Windows detection for modern UDF-only Windows 10/11 ISOs
    (UTF-16 filename markers + filename hint) — their cryptic volume labels
    previously left them unrecognized.
  • The Windows Installers submenu now appears automatically whenever a
    Windows ISO is present.
  • The dashboard no longer flags Windows ISOs as "won't boot"; the generic
    large-ISO warning was reworded so genuinely non-bootable images (e.g.
    VMware VCSA appliance bundles) read clearly.

  Storage UX

  • Available images are now listed alphabetically.
  • Uploads gain a Cancel button (aborts and discards the partial file).
  • A leave-page warning appears while an upload is in flight.

  docker pull gitea.milesward.dev/mward4/openpxe:0.5.8   # or :latest
  

  Static x86_64-unknown-linux-musl binary; 263 tests pass, clippy clean.
