2764ac6b76 *Added support for physical sector sizes other than 512 bytes per sector for wbfs partitions only! Others filesystems are currently still hardcoded in their libs. Tested with a 3TB drive with a sector size 4096 one wbfs partition (thanks dexter).
*Added initial source for support for virtual sector size other than 512 bytes per sector on wbfs partitions. This still doesn't work (not tested) and will still cause many code dumps because of some unfinished things. So don't use it yet.

*New ehcmodule for Hermes IOS versions. This gives a big boost in compatibility to usb drives using Hermes cIOSes. Now many drives should work with it. Hermes cIOSes have now probably the best compatibility to usb devices. (big thanks to rodries here) (more to come ;))

e6a87c05fe *Fixed display of partition size on WBFS partitions with a different wbfs sector size than 512bytes.
*Made the ProgressWindow for game installation more accurate
*Added displaying newly installed games (marked as new) on favorite list, so you don't have to change to full list when installing new games. (Thanks Cyan for the patch)
*Lot's a small fixes
*Added WDM Menu on game start. You can set it in the alternative DOL option (one new option there). The menu lists all DOLs on the disc and if a wdm file is provided in the WDM path (configurable in the settings) than the dol parameter and dol replacement name will be taken from the wdm. The DOLs that are not listed in the WDM but exist on the DISC will be listed at the end of the list.
*Added avoid of multiple app cleanup when game fails to boot

*Changed libfat to use FS info sector on FAT32 partitions. This speeds up the free space information getting to instant. For that the FS info sector has to have correct values. The values of all partitions where homebrews were writing to are currently incorrect because the official libfat does not support FS info sector (i submited a patch) (Windows does write it correct though). That is why there needs to be a synchronization of the FS info sector for partitions used with homebrews. For this purpose a new setting was added in the Loader Settings. You can synchronize all your FAT32 partitions on the USB with it once and you are done (if you don't write to that partition with current homebrews). After that you can enable free space display and it will be instant like on WBFS/NTFS/EXT partitions.

3503f114ed *Added use of IOS58 for Loader option. It is enabled by default and can be disabled in the Loader Settings. If it is disabled the Boot/Standard cIOS is loaded on startup, after reading the config files.
WARNING: If you select to use IOS58 and you don't have IOS58 installed, the loader will be really really slow.
*Fixed reseting of Theme/Fonts when pressing the SD Card button. It is now reloading it instead.

8943592d0e *Fixed several theme images being not loaded. Made all recourses from SVN now themable (sounds/fonts/images). They only have to be in the same folder as the theme images.
*Ignore sector size of wbfs partitions in MBR (some lazy Partition Manager don't change it). Reading it from the partition header now.
*Several small bug fixes and cleanups
*Fixed "Bannersound + BG Music after it" mode
*Updated language files

0942bb22c5 *Fixed a few typos in theme text
*Added ignore of partition type and detect WBFS/FAT/NTFS partitions from their boot record sector (damn lazy partition managers which are not always editing the MBR)

6022ad060d *Added ThreadedTask instance class for easy one time run operations on another thread
*Added Free Space show option to the settings (can be enabled even on FAT partitions)
*Moved partition free space determination to a ThreadedTask because it takes up to 10 seconds on FAT. This speeds up the build up of the main game menu (on start and on change from other menu) on all partitions.
*Removed double "waiting for slow HDD" screens
*Fixed scrollbar in settings

7bccfd2b17 *added loading screen
*Removed the console loading screen (no more console at all)
*Complete rework of device handle. You need to reset all your custom paths for this rev.
*Support for writing images/settings/... on any writable partition (FAT/NTFS/EXT). (Theoretically you can run the loader from NTFS only without the need of any other partition or SD if run from new forwarder channel, for example)
*Support for Primary/Logical partitions and GUID Partition Table (GPT)

Forwarder Channel in last revision was not using IOS58 (not sure about AHBPROT)
Here a corrected version (thx to Cyan):
