Raspberry Pi Imager, a tool that helps users easily write OS images onto an SD card, which can then be used to boot the Raspberry Pi, has just released version 1.9.6, now available for download.
One of the key fixes addresses a typo in a script name that had previously slipped through, ensuring smoother operation for those running scripts via the imager.
Additionally, the SSH validation messages were updated to better align with the regular expressions used, helping users avoid confusion when entering SSH keys. WiFi country code validation was also tightened, improving compliance and connection reliability across different regions.
Regarding localization, translations for Italian, Russian, French, Simplified Chinese, Bengali, and Irish have all received updates, including corrections and the removal of outdated error messages.
Other minor tweaks include improvements to the README documentation and translation reference strings, which contribute to clearer guidance for both end-users and contributors.
