2 Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
4 A number of improvements to the Windows port:
6 Fixes for setting short filenames.
8 Faster "WIMBoot" extraction.
10 Updated and slimmed down the dependent DLLs.
12 ACL inheritence bits are now restored.
14 Mandatory integrity labels are now backed up and restored.
17 Added file count progress data for
18 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE and
19 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
21 Added support for testing file exclusions via the user-provided
24 Some documentation improvements.
27 Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
29 The default compression mode for wimcapture is now LZX compression in
30 its default mode, which is the same as '--compress=maximum'.
32 You can now specify an optional integer compression level to the
33 '--compress' option; e.g. '--compress=lzx:75'.
35 Made a minor change to the LZMS compressor and decompressor to fix an
36 incompatibility with the Microsoft implementation. In the unlikely
37 event that you created an LZMS-compressed WIM with wimlib v1.7.0 or
38 earlier and a checksum error is reported when extracting files from it
39 with wimlib v1.7.1, decompress it with v1.7.0 then compress it with
42 Added 'verify' subcommand to wimlib-imagex.
44 Notable library changes:
46 Custom compressor parameters have been removed from the library
47 in favor of the simpler level-based API.
49 Decompressor parameters have been removed entirely.
51 Library users can now specify a custom file for warning and
52 error messages to be sent to, rather than the default of
55 New progress messages:
56 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE,
57 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
59 New function: wimlib_verify_wim().
62 Improved compression, decompression, and extraction performance.
64 Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files:
65 - Add support for reading and writing multiple solid blocks per
66 archive, which WIMGAPI/DISM can create when appending an image.
67 - Correctly create solid blocks larger than 4 GiB.
69 'add' commands passed to wimupdate will now replace existing
70 nondirectory files by default. Use the --no-replace option to get the
73 The license for the library now contains an exception that allows using
74 it under the LGPL. See the COPYING file for details.
76 In reparse-point fixup mode (the default for capture), symbolic links
77 and junctions that point outside the tree being captured are no longer
78 excluded from capture.
80 Added support for "WIMBoot" capture and extraction. See the
81 documentation for the new '--wimboot' option to wimcapture and wimapply
84 On UNIX-like systems, you can now backup and restore device nodes, named
85 pipes, and sockets. In addition, 32-bit user and group IDs are now
88 The way that UNIX data is stored in WIM files has been changed. If you
89 captured any WIMs with the --unix-data option, to upgrade them you'll
90 need to apply them with --unix-data using wimlib-imagex v1.6.2, then
91 re-capture them with --unix-data using this version.
93 wimlib now understands tagged metadata items, such as object IDs, that
94 can be stored in WIM directory entries.
96 Removed the --hardlink and --symlink options to wimapply, since I don't
97 think they are too useful and they got in the way of improving the code.
99 WIMs will now retain their GUIDs when rebuilt (e.g. with wimoptimize).
101 The 'mkwinpeimg' script now supports writing the ISO image to standard
104 The <ARCH> element in WIM XML data is now exported correctly.
106 On Windows, sparse file attributes are no longer set on extracted files.
107 Oddly enough, this actually saves disk space in some cases.
109 On UNIX, configuring with --disable-xattr or --enable-xattr is no longer
110 supported. Mounting WIM images now always requires extended attribute
111 support. Use --without-fuse to disable support for mounting WIM images;
112 this will also disable the need for extended attribute support.
114 Configuring with --enable-ssse3-sha1 now works correctly.
116 The shared library version has been bumped up. The main
117 incompatibilities are:
119 - WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_XPRESS is now 1 and
120 WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_LZX is now 2 (so it's the same as
123 - User-provided progress functions are now registered using a
124 separate function, wimlib_register_progress_function(). The
125 'progress_func' argument to many functions no longer exists.
127 - The return value from user-provided progress functions is now
130 - A context argument has been added to the prototype of
131 user-provided progress functions.
133 - 'struct wimlib_capture_config' has been removed. The library
134 now takes the path to the configuration file directly. This
135 affects wimlib_add_image(), wimlib_add_image_multisource(),
136 and wimlib_update_image(). However, a NULL value passed in
137 the argument retains the same meaning.
139 - Removed deprecated functions: some (de)compression functions,
140 wimlib_extract_files(), and wimlib_print_metadata().
142 - Removed extraction flags: WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_HARDLINK,
143 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SYMLINK, WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER,
144 and WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL.
146 - Removed some progress messages:
147 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_APPLY_TIMESTAMPS,
148 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_BEGIN,
149 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_END. Numbering
152 - Removed some error codes. Numbering stays the same.
154 - Replaced WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_LAZY with
155 WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_FORCE.
157 - WIM paths passed to progress functions now have a leading
161 Case-insensitive comparisons of strings (e.g. filenames) containing
162 UTF-16 codepoints above 32767 are now done correctly.
164 Fixed build failure on Mac OS X.
166 wimunmount now provides the '--new-image' option to cause changes to a
167 read-write mounted image to be committed as a new image rather than as
168 an update of the mounted image. (The corresponding new library flag is
169 WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_NEW_IMAGE.)
171 The LZMS ("recovery") compression chunk size, or "dictionary size", may
172 now be up to 1 GiB (1,073,741,824 bytes).
174 The performance of LZX ("maximum") and LZMS ("recovery") compression
175 with large chunk sizes has been slightly improved.
178 Stored files with size exactly 4 GiB (4,294,967,296 bytes) are now
179 decompressed correctly.
181 Fixed a bug in the LZX compressor introduced in v1.5.3. The bug
182 occurred in an unlikely case, and due to validity checks it did not
183 affect successfully created archives.
185 Fixed a minor compatibility issue with the LZMS compressor and
186 decompressor. This is *not* the default compression type and was only
187 introduced in v1.6.0. In the unlikely event that you created an
188 LZMS-compressed WIM with v1.6.0 and a checksum error is reported when
189 applying it with v1.6.1, decompress it with v1.6.0 then compress it with
192 Memory usage for LZMS and LZX compression has been decreased.
194 wimextract now allows wildcard characters in paths specified on the
195 command line. Also, the '--strict-wildcards' option has been removed
196 and replaced with the inverse option '--nullglob'. See the
197 documentation for wimextract for more details and changes.
199 The wimlib_extract_files() function is now considered deprecated in
200 favor of wimlib_extract_paths().
202 Fixed more permissions problems when extracting files on Windows.
204 A new '--no-attributes' option has been added to wimapply and
205 wimextract. The library flag is WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_NO_ATTRIBUTES.
207 The default chunk size is now set correctly when changing the
208 compression type of a WIM, for example with 'wimoptimize'.
210 The '--metadata' option to wiminfo has been replaced with the
211 '--detailed' option to wimdir.
213 In relevant wimlib-imagex commands, '--solid' may now be used as an
214 alias for '--pack-streams'.
217 Support for extracting and updating the new version 3584 WIMs has been
218 added. These WIMs typically pack many streams ("files") together into a
219 single compressed resource, thereby saving space. This degrades the
220 performance of random access (such as that which occurs on a mounted
221 image), but optimizations have been implemented for extraction. These
222 new WIM files also typically use a new compression format (LZMS), which
223 is similar to LZMA and can offer a better compression ratio than LZX.
224 These new WIM files can be created using `wimcapture' with
225 the '--compress=lzms --pack-streams' options. Note: this new WIM format
226 is used by the Windows 8 web downloader, but important segments of the
227 raw '.esd' files are encrypted, so wimlib will not be able to extract
228 such files until they are first decrypted.
230 wimlib now supports extracting files and directories from a WIM image
231 based on a "listfile" that itself contains the list of paths to extract.
232 For `wimextract', the syntax is to specify @LISTFILE instead of a PATH,
233 and for the library itself, the new APIs are wimlib_extract_pathlist()
234 and wimlib_extract_paths(). Path globs containing wildcard characters
237 For searching WIM files, wimlib now has configurable case sensitivity.
238 The default on Windows is still case-insensitive and the default on
239 UNIX-like systems is still case-sensitive, but this can be overridden
240 on either platform through flags to wimlib_global_init(). For
241 `wimlib-imagex', the environmental variable WIMLIB_IMAGEX_IGNORE_CASE
242 can be set to 1 or 0 for case-insensitive or case-sensitive behavior,
245 Support for compression chunk sizes greater than the default of 32768
246 bytes has been added. A larger chunk size typically results in a better
247 compression ratio. However, the MS implementation is seemingly not
248 compatible with all chunk sizes, especially for LZX compression, so the
249 defaults remain unchanged, with the exception of the new LZMS-compressed
250 WIMs, which use a larger chunk size by default.
252 The compression/decompression API exported by wimlib has been changed.
253 Now one set of functions handles all supported compression formats.
255 `wimcapture' and `wimappend' will now display the progress of scanning
256 the directory tree to capture, in addition to the progress of writing
257 data to the WIM. The '--verbose' option no longer does anything. The
258 library API change for this is the addition of several members to
259 `struct wimlib_progress_info_scan' available to progress callbacks.
261 `mkwinpeimg' now correctly handles the '--start-script' option when the
262 start script is not in the working directory.
264 Sequential extraction, previously requested by using
265 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL, is now the default.
266 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER can be used to get the old default
267 behavior (extract in file order).
270 The new LZX compressor added in v1.5.2 has been improved and is now
271 enabled by default, except when `wimcapture' or `wimappend' is run
272 *without* the '--compress' option, in which case the faster LZX
273 compressor is used (the same as before). This behavior is reasonably
274 consistent with ImageX which actually uses "fast" (XPRESS) compression
275 by default. In those cases, use '--compress=maximum' to explicitly
276 capture a WIM image using the new (slower but better) LZX compressor.
278 The '--compress-slow' option still exists to `wimlib-imagex optimize',
279 but its new behavior is to tweak the new LZX compressor even more to
280 produce an even better compression ratio at the cost of more time spent
283 `wimlib-imagex optimize' now supports the '--compress=TYPE' option,
284 which recompresses the WIM file using the specified compression TYPE.
285 The new library API function used for this is
286 wimlib_set_output_compression_type().
288 Added the wimlib_get_xml_data() function to allow library clients to
289 easily retrieve the raw XML data from a WIM file if needed.
291 Fixed a bug that could cause an error code to be incorrectly returned
292 when writing XML data containing a <WINDOWS> element.
294 Mounted WIM images will now correctly show the default file stream even
295 if appears in the alternate data stream entries of the corresponding WIM
299 Added a new experimental LZX compressor which can be enabled by passing
300 '--compress-slow' to `wimlib-imagex capture' or `wimlib-imagex
301 optimize'. (The latter is only applicable if the WIM is already
302 LZX-compressed and the '--recompress' option is also given.) The
303 experimental compressor is much slower but compresses the data slightly
304 more --- currently usually to within a fraction of a percent of the
305 results from WIMGAPI/ImageX.
307 A workaround has been added for compatibility with versions of WinPE
308 that interpret alternate data stream entries in the boot WIM
311 An alignment bug that caused a crash in the LZX decompressor on some
314 wimlib now attempts to clear the WIM_HDR_FLAG_WRITE_IN_PROGRESS flag in
315 the WIM header when restoring the previous state of a WIM it failed to
318 Added a workaround to avoid an access denied error on Windows when
319 replacing a WIM file that another process has opened.
322 wimlib can now open WinPE WIMs from WAIK v2.1, which had a quirk that
323 needed to be handled.
325 A bug in the interpretation of negative IMAGE indices in the
326 --update-of=[WIMFILE:]IMAGE option to `wimlib-imagex capture' and
327 `wimlib-imagex append' has been fixed.
329 A workaround has been added to successfully apply security descriptors
330 with empty DACLs when the NTFS-3g apply mode is being used with NTFS-3g
331 2013.1.13 or earlier.
333 `wimlib-imagex capture' can now accept the '--delta-from' option
337 Added support for "pipable" WIMs. Pipable WIMs allow capturing images
338 to standard output and applying images from standard input, but they are
339 not compatible with Microsoft's software and are not created by default.
340 See the documentation for --pipable flag of `wimlib-imagex capture' for
343 To better support incremental backups, added support for declaring an
344 image as a modified form of another image. See the documentation for
345 the '--update-of' option of `wimlib-imagex append' and `wimlib-imagex
348 Added supported for "delta" WIMs. See the documentation for the
349 '--delta-from' option of `wimlib-imagex capture'.
351 The library support for managing split WIMs has been changed to support
352 other arrangements, such as delta WIMs, and be easier to use. This
353 change is visible in `wimlib-imagex', which also can now accept the
354 '--ref' option multiple times, and also now supports "delta" WIMs as
357 wimlib now preserves WIM integrity tables by default, even if
358 WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not specified. This changes the
359 behavior of `wimlib-imagex' whenever the WIM being operated on contains
360 an integrity table and the '--check' option is not specified.
362 `wimlib-imagex capture' now creates LZX-compressed WIMs by default
363 (when --compress is not specified). This provides the best compression
364 ratio by default, which is usually what is desired, at a cost of some
367 `wimlib-imagex' now supports being invoked as wimCOMMAND, where COMMAND
368 is the command as in `wimlib-imagex COMMAND'; for example, it can be
369 invoked as `wimapply' as an alternative to `wimlib-imagex apply'. The
370 appropriate hard links are created in UNIX installations of
371 `wimlib-imagex', while for the Windows distribution of `wimlib-imagex',
372 batch files that emulate this behavior are generated.
374 Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows.
376 Fixed archiving DOS names in NTFS-3g capture mode.
378 The extraction code has been rewritten and it will now be easier to
379 support new features on all supported backends (currently Win32, UNIX,
380 and NTFS-3g). For example, hard-linked extraction mode (--hardlink) is
381 now supported on all backends, not just UNIX.
383 `mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather
384 than the WAIK itself.
386 wimlib_global_init() now, by default, attempts to acquire additional
387 privileges on Windows, so library clients need not do this.
389 This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it is
390 not binary compatibible with previous releases.
393 Fixed bug in `wimlib-imagex export' that made it impossible to export an
394 image from a WIM that is readonly at the filesystem level.
396 Return error code rather than segfaulting when trying to list files from
397 a non-first part of a split WIM.
399 Joining a WIM will now preserve the RP_FIX and READONLY flags.
402 On Windows, paths given to wimlib-imagex are now treated case
405 Improved behavior regarding invalid filenames; in particular, on
406 Windows, wimlib-imagex will, when extracting, now omit (with an option
407 to override this default) filenames differing only in case, or filenames
408 containing characters not valid on Windows.
410 On Windows, wimlib now supports capturing and extracting long paths
411 (longer than the so-called MAX_PATH).
413 On Windows, `wimlib-imagex update' now acquires proper privileges when
414 running as an Administrator.
416 `wimlib-imagex update' will now complain if no image is specified when
417 trying to update a multi-image WIM.
419 `wimlib-imagex update' now supports specifying a single update command
420 directly on the command line using the --command option.
422 wimlib-imagex will now choose different units for progress messages,
423 depending on the amount of data that needs to be processed.
425 `wimlib-imagex append' will now generate a unique WIM image name if no
426 name is specified and the defaulted name already exists in the WIM.
428 wimlib now allows you to create unnamed WIM images, which can then only
429 be referred to by index.
431 wimlib now allows you to explicitly declare you want write access to a
432 WIM by providing the WIMLIB_OPEN_FLAG_WRITE_ACCESS flag to
435 wimlib now respects the WIM_HDR_FLAG_READONLY flag when set in the WIM
438 Progress callbacks have been added to wimlib's wimlib_update_image()
441 Added wimlib_get_wim_info(), wimlib_set_wim_info(),
442 wimlib_iterate_dir_tree(), and wimlib_iterate_lookup_table() functions
445 NTFS-3g capture now only warns about two conditions previously treated
448 Fixed a couple issues with using wimlib-imagex on UDF filesystems on
451 wimlib now correctly detects and returns an error when reading a WIM
452 image with a cyclic directory structure. (Fun fact: such a WIM will
453 crash Microsoft's software.)
456 Added new "extract" and "update" subcommands to wimlib-imagex, along
457 with associated APIs in the library. These commands are intended mainly
458 for Windows use but can be used on UNIX as well.
460 Many documentation improvements.
462 Fixed a bug in the Windows build where relative symbolic links were not
463 captured in reparse-point fixup mode.
465 Fixed a bug in the Windows build where file handles were left open to
466 the WIM file, causing `wimlib_imagex optimize' to fail in some cases.
468 Fixed a bug in the Windows build of wimlib-imagex where globbing
469 split-WIM parts could cause the program to crash.
471 Fixed a bug where the creation time of WIM images would be shown instead
472 of the last modification time.
474 With the Windows build it is now possible to restore a WIM containing
475 symbolic links as a non-Administrator; however you will receive warnings
476 about not being able to extract the symbolic links.
479 Capturing a WIM image should now be significantly faster in most cases
480 due to improved use of the operating system's cache and avoiding reading
481 files twice whenever possible.
483 The Windows build should now work on Windows XP.
485 The Windows build now supports capturing and restoring hidden,
486 compressed, sparse, and encrypted files.
488 The Windows build now supports capturing and applying WIM images from
489 filesystems other than NTFS (with some reduced functionality).
491 The Windows build now extracts short names correctly.
493 Added support for "reparse-point" fixups (i.e. fixing up of symbolic
494 links). See docs for --rpfix and --norpfix flags of `wimlib-imagex
495 capture' and `wimlib-imagex apply'.
497 The performance of splitting and joining WIMs should be slightly
500 The LZX and XPRESS compression and decompression functions are now
501 exported from the library.
504 Improvements and bugfixes for the Windows build.
506 Added --strict-acls options.
508 Fixed the way that wimlib determines the order of images in the WIM.
511 Since wimlib can now be used on Windows, wimlib's implementation of
512 ImageX has been renamed to wimlib-imagex to avoid confusion with
513 Microsoft's implementation of ImageX, which would have the same file
514 name ("imagex.exe"). If you really don't like this you can pass the
515 --with-imagex-progname option to `configure' to choose a different name,
516 or even simply rename the binary yourself (but the former way will
517 configure the man pages to use the chosen name).
519 Various bugs fixed in the Windows build. Mainly to do with capturing
520 and restoring alternate data streams correctly in weird cases, and
521 requesting the correct privileges when opening files. Also added the
522 --noacls options to wimlib-imagex capture, append, and apply.
524 Windows build again: FindFirstStreamW() and FindNextStreamW() are now
525 dynamically loaded, so this may make the library compatible with Windows
526 XP (however, there may still be other problems).
529 Added experimental support for native Windows builds. Binaries can be
530 downloaded from the SourceForge page.
532 --source-list option added to `imagex capture' and `imagex append'.
534 Better support for different character encodings.
537 Storing UNIX file owners, groups, and modes in WIM images is now
538 possible using `imagex capture' with the --unix-data flag.
540 Minor bug fixes and documentation fixes.
543 NTFS capture: Fixed capturing duplicate reparse points.
545 NTFS capture: Capture first unnamed stream if there are more than one
546 (print warning instead of error).
548 Allow multiple test cases to execute concurrently (e.g. make -j2 check).
551 Added --arch switch to mkwinpeimg script to support getting AMD64 WinPE
554 Update to work with ntfs-3g version 2013.1.13.
557 Fixed truncating file to shorter but non-zero length on read-write
560 Various code cleanups and minor documentation fixes.
563 LZX and XPRESS decompression have received some additional optimizations
564 and should now be even faster. (Although, they were already pretty
565 fast--- much faster than typical I/O speeds.)
567 Fixed a bug introduced in v1.2.1 that would cause a directory tree
568 containing hard links to be captured incorrectly in some cases.
571 By default, unmounting a read-write mounted WIM with 'imagex unmount
572 --commit' will now change the WIM in-place without needing to write the
573 entire WIM again. Use 'imagex unmount --commit --rebuild' to get the
576 'imagex unmount' no longer has a hard-coded limit of 10 minutes to wait
577 for a response from the daemon servicing the mounted WIM. Instead,
578 every second 'imagex unmount' will check if the daemon is still alive,
579 and keep waiting if so, otherwise terminate with an error.
581 'imagex unmount --commit' on a read-write mounted WIM will now print
582 progress information regarding the writing of new or modified streams
583 the WIM, just like when capturing or appending a WIM.
585 A small change has been made to XPRESS compression and it should improve
586 the compression ratio slightly.
588 A change was made that may improve performance slightly when applying a
589 WIM image to a NTFS volume.
591 Microsoft has managed to introduce even more bugs into their software,
592 and now the WIMs for Windows 8 have incorrect (too low) reference counts
593 for some streams. This is unsafe because such streams can be removed
594 when they are in actuality still referenced in the WIM (perhaps by a
595 different image). wimlib will now work around this problem by fixing
596 the stream reference counts. This is only done when wimlib_delete_image() is
597 called ('imagex delete') or when wimlib_mount_image() is called with
598 WIMLIB_MOUNT_FLAG_READWRITE ('imagex mountrw'). Please note that this
599 requires reading the metadata for all images in the WIM, so this will
600 make these operations noticably slower on WIMs with multiple images.
602 Various other bugfixes.
605 Appending images to a WIM is now be done by default without re-building
606 the whole WIM. Use the --rebuild flag to get the old behavior (which
607 was to re-build the entire WIM when a new image is appended).
609 A new command `imagex optimize' is now available to manually re-build a
610 WIM that has wasted space due to repeated appends.
612 Progress information has been improved, and now arbitrary callback
613 functions can be used to show the progress of a WIM operation.
615 A possible bug with changing the bootable image of a WIM was fixed.
617 Some advisory locking is now done to prevent two processes from
618 modifying a WIM at the same time (but only in some cases). For example,
619 you cannot mount two images from a WIM read-write at the same time.
621 Some functions have been reorganized:
622 * wimlib_mount() renamed to wimlib_mount_image().
623 * wimlib_unmount() renamed to wimlib_unmount_image().
624 * wimlib_overwrite_xml_and_header() removed as
625 wimlib_overwrite() suffices now.
626 * wimlib_apply_image_to_ntfs_volume() removed as
627 wimlib_extract_image() suffices now.
628 * wimlib_add_image_from_ntfs_volume() removed as
629 * wimlib_add_image() suffices now.
631 Previously, the soname of libwim.so has been 0.0.0, despite many
632 interface changes. The soname is now updated to 1.0.0 and will now be
633 updated each release.
636 Resources will now be compressed using multiple threads by default.
637 (This applies to `imagex capture', `imagex append', and `imagex
640 Some performance improvements in mounted WIMs.
642 More progress information is shown when capturing a WIM.
645 Lots of minor fixes, code cleanups, and some documentation updates.
646 Nothing in particular is really noteworthy.
649 LZX and XPRESS compression improvements.
651 Fixed calculation of Directory Count, File Count, Total Bytes, and Hard
652 Link Bytes of the WIM.
655 Fixed bug when capturing NTFS file with multiple named data streams.
657 Internally, we are now using inode structures, even though these don't
658 appear literally in the WIM file. This simplifies some of the code
659 (mainly for WIM mounting) and likely fixed a few problems, although it

667 Enough changes to call it version 1.0.0!
669 Capturing a WIM directly from a NTFS volume, and applying a WIM directly
670 to a NTFS volume, is now supported.
672 Hard links and symbolic links have much improved support. They are
673 supported for WIM capture, WIM application, and mounted WIMs (you can
674 even make them on read-write mounted WIMs).
676 Alternate data streams are now supported on mounted WIMs through an
677 xattr or a Windows-style stream interface. Also they are supported when
678 capturing a WIM from NTFS or applying a WIM to NTFS.
680 Split WIMs are better supported. You may now apply an image directly
681 from a split WIM, mount an image from a split WIM read-only, or export
682 an image from a split WIM.
684 Using a capture configuration file is now supported (but not fully yet).
686 SHA1 message digests are checked in more places, so we can make sure
687 applied and captured data is correct.
689 Man pages have been updated and consolidated.
692 Fixed segfault when unmounting read-only WIM.
695 Support for joining and splitting WIMs.
696 Also, security data is now preserved by default.
699 Can now build with older gcc and system headers, like on CentOS 5.
702 Fixed bug that made it impossible to overwrite files in read-write
706 Write byte-order mark before WIM XML data. (imagex.exe requires this to
