v1.0a01

[ArmaanCoder5]

🚀 Initial Alpha Release

Welcome to the first public iteration of OpenImager (Uniflasher). This release marks the transition of the project to the openimgr organization.

✨ What's in this version?

• Core Engine: Introduction of the Uniflasher writing logic.
• Drive Selection: Implementation of the "Safe-Select" drive filtering system to protect system partitions.
• UI/UX: Minimalist interface for image selection and drive targeting.
• Licensing: Fully open-sourced under the Unlicense (Public Domain).

⚠️ Known Issues & Workarounds

As this is Alpha 1, there are known hurdles we are currently clearing:

• FWrite Stream Failure: The primary writing function (FWrite) may fail to initialize on certain Windows builds or specific USB 3.0 controllers.
  • Current Workaround: Ensure the application is "Run as Administrator."
• Verification: Bit-by-bit verification is currently disabled to prevent software hangs during the FWrite failure.

🛠 Technical Changes

• Standardized project structure for cross-platform builds.
• Added .gitignore and CONTRIBUTING.md for community involvement.
