Download Raspberry Pi Imager 2.0.3

✨ Features
Performance
- Implement bottleneck detection and real-time progress updates showing network, decompression, or write-bound status
- Add detailed write timing breakdown for hypothesis testing and performance analysis
- Skip periodic sync when direct I/O is enabled to improve throughput
- Enhance async I/O support and configuration options across all platforms
Networking
- Implement comprehensive network monitoring across all platforms to detect connectivity changes and automatically retry OS list fetching
- Add automatic fallback and retry logic when network connection is restored
- Introduce CurlFetcher and CurlNetworkConfig for improved network operations with better error handling
- Add CA certificate bundle detection for AppImage compatibility on Linux distributions with non-standard CA paths
- Enable file:// protocol support in curl configuration for local repository testing
Custom Repositories
- Add rpi-imager:// URI scheme for deep-linking to custom OS repositories (e.g., rpi-imager://open?repo=https://example.com/repo.json)
- Register .rpi-imager-manifest file type association on macOS (UTI), Windows (registry), and Linux (MIME)
- Show custom repository host in window title bar with punycode encoding to prevent IDN homograph attacks
- Add confirmation dialog with security delay for remote repository URLs
Drive Handling
- Detect and handle counterfeit storage devices that may hang during I/O operations
- Add timeout mechanism for critical operations like BLKDISCARD and writing to the end of the device
- Add debug option to skip end-of-device operations for users with problematic cards
- Add support for NVMe over Fabrics (BusTypeNvmeof) bus type on Windows
- Enhance storage bus type recognition and device classification
- Improve drive filtering and system identification logic on Linux
User Interface
- Add sticky language preference that remembers user selection across sessions
- Enhance title display with offline status indication in the main window
- Improve text wrapping and marquee scrolling throughout the UI
- Make DebugOptionsDialog height responsive to window size
Customisation
- Enhance WiFi configuration for open networks using key_mgmt=NONE
- Refine cloud-init user data and network configuration generation
- Add initFormat parameter to CLI setImageCustomisation call
Windows
- Enhance uninstallation to clean up old installation directories and registry entries left by previous installers
- Improve user prompts during install/uninstall for detecting previous installations
CLI
- Add note about using the --repo flag to load local os_list_local.json files
- Fix error message displayed when CLI build is run without sudo
- Use ANSI escape sequences for _clearLine for better terminal compatibility
