- HashCache : you always use the same ISO to crete your keys ? LiLi is caching the MD5 hashes so it will check it instantly once you create your first key.
- Dual VirtualBox launcher : you already installed VirtualBox ? LiLi is automatically running either the Non-portable or the Portable version if not present. Everything is taking care of.
- New option menu : let you set langs, proxy settings, advanced settings or force using a Linux parameters (for unknown ISO)
- New languages : Dutch, Chinese, Hungarian, Russian, Korean
- Now using a setup installer easier and faster to use
- You will be alerted if your ISO is corrupted (really corrupted not just bad MD5 hash)
- Speed improvements : Formatting persistence is now 15 times faster, faster to run/close, accurate space calculation, Portable-VirtualBox will be installed only one time and updated if needed ...
