​Rufus 4.7, released in April 2025, introduces several enhancements that solidify its position as a leading tool for creating bootable USB drives.

This version adds the capability to detect and download updated DBX (UEFI forbidden signatures database) files directly from the official UEFI repository, ensuring that bootable drives are more secure and up-to-date.

Additionally, support for ztsd compression has been incorporated, improving the handling of compressed disk images and potentially accelerating write operations. A new exclusion feature allows users to ignore specific disks based on their GPT GUID, reducing the risk of accidental data overwrites.​

For a comprehensive overview of these updates, you can refer to the detailed article on CYPTD.com. This release underscores Rufus's commitment to providing a reliable and efficient solution for users needing to create bootable media, whether for installing operating systems, testing new distributions, or performing system recoveries.​
