Download Raspberry Pi Imager 2.0.4

What's new
- Write Robustness:
- Introduce WriteProgressWatchdog to monitor write progress and detect stalls
- Implement recovery strategies for async I/O including queue depth reduction
and sync fallback mechanisms
- Standardize timeout handling for pending writes across all platforms
- Add 5-minute emergency timeout as fallback for stalled operations
- Performance:
- Enhance recovery event handling and monitoring diagnostics
- Capture SHA256 hash values in performance profiles for verification diagnostics
- Image Handling:
- Add support for parsing .gz files to extract uncompressed size information
- Improve handling for files larger than 4GB
- Disk Formatting:
- Fix FAT32 formatting for large drives (>8GB)
- Improve root directory handling based on sectors per cluster
- Bug Fixes:
- Fix external tools (runuser, xdg-open) failing in AppImage due to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH conflicts causing PAM module loading errors
- Improve thread safety for download cancellation
- Enhance error handling for timeout conditions
- Use Pathlib to generate file:// URIs in local JSON helper script
- Use XDG-compliant canberra-gtk-play and PipeWire for audio notifications
on Linux, fixing beep on Raspberry Pi OS which no longer ships PulseAudio control by default
- Accessibility:
- Bypass confirmation dialog timer when screen reader is active
- Build:
- Refactor Qt build scripts for improved POSIX compliance and consistency
- Add macOS-specific optimizations for universal builds
