Raspberry Pi Imager 1.6 is out now as the latest and greatest version of Raspberry Pi’s official flashing utility.

It can be used on all major operating systems to write OS images designed for the tiny Raspberry Pi computer. The biggest new feature in this release is the implementation of a hidden advanced options panel, which can only be accessed using a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+X). This advanced options panel lets you control additional features for the operating system you’re about to flash on an SD card or SSD drive.
