The instructions for git clone is missing one step: sudo make install. This required me to examine the makefile targets and figure it out for myself. Not so bad for me, but others may be confused about what to do.
* Add windows languages, many bugfixes
Entering a release, edition, or OS with only part of a valid one will now throw an error, rather than attempting to download
i.e. $quickget windows 1 > "ERROR! Windows 1 is not a supported release", rather than attempting to download a nonexistent ISO
* Replace "languages" with "editions" to improve consistency
* Remove unnecessary code, hardcode windows editions to not waste time
* Add windows server, LTSC
* Windows server requires IDE drive
* Update Windows Guests section in README.md
* Improve support for windows server
Add back the language array, change stylization of languages in list
* Fix quickget show-iso-url and test-iso-url creating unnecessary directory
* Beautify output, add show-iso-url and test-iso-url for Windows (fully) and macOS (sorta)
* (NON-FUNCTIONAL) macrecovery shell script.
* Semi-functional (although incomplete) macrecovery shell script
Rough draft. To be completed, cleaned up and simplified (very much so)
hoping to merge into quickemu & replace the python macrecovery dependency.
* macrecovery shell script now successfully downloads the image. TODO: Verification
* Merged macrecovery functions into quickget. Chunkcheck (C) to replace macrecovery's image verification
Chunkcheck written by MCJack123: https://gist.github.com/MCJack123/943eaca762730ca4b7ae460b731b68e7
* Replace C chunkcheck binary with the Python equivalent. Re-add python to dependencies.
* force macOS guests to usually boot with core counts which are powers of 2; fix#865
* Add support for macOS Sonoma
* Fix issue where script would be unable to find chunkcheck if installed system-wide
* Update README verbiage
* Add headers to web_get function; macOS can now be downloaded via aria2; clean up code & output
* Add support for macOS Sonoma
* Fix use of wrong operator (>) which touches a file
* Small correction to README
* macOS switched from wget to default downloader (aria2/wget)
* Replace wget with cURL for downloading macOS chunklist file
* Fix variable naming in generate_id function
This implementation is based on Mido:

More useful failure messages are presented and if the download is blocked clear steps to manually complete the setup are presented. Windows 8 is re-instated as a supported release, although without install automation or driver optimisation.
On Big Sur and up apple includes the VirtIO driver and therefore the install disk is named
Apple Inc. VirtIO Block Device instead of QEMU HARDDISK Media.
This PR lets the documentation reflect that.
macOS refuses to enable TRIM on any disk models that are not in Apple's verified approval list. However, there is a command that you can run via `sudo` to forcibly tell macOS to enable TRIM even though the disk model is unsupported by Apple.
Here we add the instructions to `README.md` for forcibly enabling TRIM support.
In a previous commit we dropped usage of VirtIO Block Media from backing the hard disk device in macOS guests. The instructions therefore are updated here to drop the split between macOS versions that we had previously enabled VirtIO Block Media disks and those we didn't. This simplifies the instructions to a single hard disk name for all supported macOS version installations.
The previous commit removes our usage of VirtIO Block Media as a backing for the macOS hard disk. We therefore need to drop our descriptions of this functionality now we're not using it any more.
