![]() And as anyone that’s familiar with them can tell you, the rust programming language and its developers/community have truly embraced this ethos of zero-cost abstractions, perhaps more so than any others. Strong type systems turn runtime safety/sanity checks into compile-time errors, optimizing compilers try to reduce an enforced sequence of api calls into a single instruction, and library developers think up of clever hacks to even completely erase any trace of an abstraction from the resulting binaries. Low-level or systems programming languages generally strive to provide libraries and interfaces that enable developers, boost productivity, enhance safety, provide resistance to misuse, and more - all while trying to reduce the runtime cost of such initiatives.

Have we saved you a lot of time, effort, problems, and loss of limb, life, or worse? How much have you saved in support and repair costs? Do you want to say thank you? You can make a donation here: Keep in touch via twitter or facebook for constant info and updates! EasyBCD user manual (it’s severely out-of-date, we’re updating it for 2.0 now).Crazy props to the Grub4Dos team and the PLoP developers. Before we leave you and EasyBCD 2 alone together, some final words need to be said: EasyBCD 2.0 would not have been possible without the help of the entire NeoSmart team, testers, and of course, donors.Ī big shout-out to Terry ( Terry60), Justin ( Kairozamorro), Jake ( Coolname007), Alex ( Mak 2.0), and everyone else that helped in providing support over the past 2 years. It’s been a real blast working on EasyBCD 2.0, and we’re really excited to have something we can finally share with the general public. Improved MBR repair, BCD repair, and more!.Just tell the installer where to stick it, and you’re set! Better support for loading and managing external BCD stores.Loading indicator for lengthy operations.Improved boot device detection, EasyBCD always runs, even if your boot device is inaccessible or the BCD isn’t installed!.Support for multiple top-level GRLDR entries (in the same vein as XP entries above).EasyBCD BIOS Extender to let you boot from network devices, specific hard disks, USBs, and more even if your BIOS doesn’t support it (thanks to PLoP integration).Rewritten OS X support (yes, again *sigh*).Change the boot drive on your system (including all the partition management stuff) with one click!.Boot from ISO images and Virtual Harddisk (vhd) files!.Support for GRUB2 and ext4fs (we’re looking at you, Ubuntu *glare*).You no longer need to go through a second NTLDR menu no matter how many XPs you have installed! Support for multiple top-level Windows XP entries.No more mucking around w/ boot.ini and NTDETECT + NTLDR Automatic configuration and one-click setup of Windows XP dual-boots.Total redesign of the user interface to make the stuff you use more often easier to get to and easier to understand.Complete Windows 7 support (including the pretty-boot screen!).It’s so hard to sort them in a way that doesn’t leave one feature in the shadow of the other, but here goes: The official changelog is miles long, but here’s the stuff that we feel really shines. (Yes, it really is 1337 kibibytes in size. But let’s just first give you the download link, because we know you just can’t wait to get your grubby, geeky paws on it ASAP: It’s so incredibly overhauled and improved, so stuffed-to-the-brim with features, so much of a true one-click dual-boot experince, so customizable, so powerful, and so EASY that it took a lot of self-restraint to keep from calling it EasyBCD 10.0! ![]() And now, over a 150 beta builds later and 2 years in the making, we’re super-pleased to introduce you to EasyBCD 2.0. In fact, the entire NeoSmart team – developers, supporters, testers, and all – have been working around the clock to make EasyBCD 2.0 the biggest, coolest, greatest, and awesomest thing ever since the invention of the MBR. Worry not, we haven’t been sitting on our (not-so-proverbial) behinds this whole time. Windows 7 has shipped, ext4fs is the new cool kid on the Linux block, GRUB2 is finally seeing some adoption, VHDs are the new wow, and everyone and their grandmother want a dual-boot between Windows 7 and Windows XP. It’s rather hard to believe, but EasyBCD 1.7.2 has been out for over 2 years now, and we’ve been working on Version 2.0 ever since.
