(No changes from v1.7.4.1 for Linux and Mac other than version number)

Mac version

Raspberry.Pi.Imager.1.7.5.dmg is an Intel architecture build, and requires Rosetta 2 if run on Apple M1/M2 machines.
Raspberry.Pi.Imager.1.7.5.UNIVERSAL.BUILD.dmg is an universal build for both Intel and Apple M1/M2 architectures. It requires at least OS X 10.14.

v1.7.4.1

• Advanced settings: fix creating files on FAT partition that are an exact multiple of cluster size.
• Advanced settings: allow end-of-directory marker to be missing in FAT32 root directory (fixes customizing Homebridge image)
• Do you want to apply saved settings window: offer 'no' option, without clearing settings.
• Linux: eject storage properly through udisks2.
• Windows/OSX: update dependencies libarchive/zlib/liblzma/zstd
• Windows: update libcurl and OpenSSL dependencies
• Add Russian translation

Mac version

Raspberry.Pi.Imager.1.7.4.1.dmg is an Intel architecture build, and requires Rosetta 2 if run on Apple M1/M2 machines.
Raspberry.Pi.Imager.1.7.4.1.UNTESTED.UNIVERSAL.BUILD.dmg is an universal build for both Intel and Apple M1/M2 architectures. It requires at least OS X 10.14 and has only been tested on Intel and M2 Mac Mini. This software has currently NOT been tested on M1 hardware, nor on Macbooks, and will not be officially released, until this is the case. Use at your own risk.

v1.7.4 release

• Advanced settings: fix escaping single quotes ( ' ) in WLAN password
• Windows only: when auto-detecting the WLAN password used by the computer running Imager, it now processes passwords that contain < > ' " & correctly.
• Advanced settings: default to using username of logged-in user instead of 'pi'
• Now uses a different method to edit files on the FAT partition to apply advanced settings. Imager now understands the FAT16/FAT32 file system format and can edit files by itself using the raw disk device, without having to rely on the operating system to mount the partition first.
• French translation update
