2 Made more improvements to the compression algorithms.
4 The default compression mode for wimcapture is now LZX compression in
5 its default mode, which is the same as '--compress=maximum'.
7 You can now specify an optional integer compression level to the
8 '--compress' or '--solid-compress' options; e.g. '--compress=lzx:75'.
9 Currently, the default level in all cases is 50. This capability
10 deprecates the '--compress-slow' (or '--recompress-slow') option to
11 several wimlib-imagex commands.
13 The '--pack-streams', '--pack-compress', and '--pack-chunk-size' options
14 to several wimlib-imagex commands have been deprecated in favor of more
15 "standard" names: '--solid', '--solid-compress', and
16 '--solid-chunk-size', respectively.
18 The XPRESS compressor no longer supports chunks larger than 65536 bytes.
19 There is little point in having larger chunks, since the LZ77 sliding
20 window for XPRESS cannot be larger than 65536 bytes. This change does
21 not affect the default XPRESS chunk size, which is 32768.
23 The new (as of v1.7.0) extraction code will no longer run out of file
24 handles when extracting many (1000+) identical files.
28 Custom compressor parameters have been removed from the library
29 in favor of the simpler level-based API.
31 Decompressor parameters have been removed entirely.
33 The maximum XPRESS chunk size has been reduced, as mentioned
36 Library users can now initialize and de-initialize the library
37 multiple times in one run of an application program.
39 Library users will now receive WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_WRITE_STREAMS
40 and WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_STREAMS messages more frequently
41 when writing or extracting large WIM files.
43 Added experimental new write flag:
44 WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_SEND_DONE_WITH_FILE_MESSAGES.
46 Library users can now specify a custom file for warning and
47 error messages to be sent to, rather than the default of
51 Improved compression, decompression, and extraction performance.
53 Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files:
54 - Add support for reading and writing multiple solid blocks per
55 archive, which WIMGAPI/DISM can create when appending an image.
56 - Correctly create solid blocks larger than 4 GiB.
58 'add' commands passed to wimupdate will now replace existing
59 nondirectory files by default. Use the --no-replace option to get the
62 The license for the library now contains an exception that allows using
63 it under the LGPL. See the COPYING file for details.
65 In reparse-point fixup mode (the default for capture), symbolic links
66 and junctions that point outside the tree being captured are no longer
67 excluded from capture.
69 Added support for "WIMBoot" capture and extraction. See the
70 documentation for the new '--wimboot' option to wimcapture and wimapply
73 On UNIX-like systems, you can now backup and restore device nodes, named
74 pipes, and sockets. In addition, 32-bit user and group IDs are now
77 The way that UNIX data is stored in WIM files has been changed. If you
78 captured any WIMs with the --unix-data option, to upgrade them you'll
79 need to apply them with --unix-data using wimlib-imagex v1.6.2, then
80 re-capture them with --unix-data using this version.
82 wimlib now understands tagged metadata items, such as object IDs, that
83 can be stored in WIM directory entries.
85 Removed the --hardlink and --symlink options to wimapply, since I don't
86 think they are too useful and they got in the way of improving the code.
88 WIMs will now retain their GUIDs when rebuilt (e.g. with wimoptimize).
90 The 'mkwinpeimg' script now supports writing the ISO image to standard
93 The <ARCH> element in WIM XML data is now exported correctly.
95 On Windows, sparse file attributes are no longer set on extracted files.
96 Oddly enough, this actually saves disk space in some cases.
98 On UNIX, configuring with --disable-xattr or --enable-xattr is no longer
99 supported. Mounting WIM images now always requires extended attribute
100 support. Use --without-fuse to disable support for mounting WIM images;
101 this will also disable the need for extended attribute support.
103 Configuring with --enable-ssse3-sha1 now works correctly.
105 The shared library version has been bumped up. The main
106 incompatibilities are:
108 - WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_XPRESS is now 1 and
109 WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_LZX is now 2 (so it's the same as
112 - User-provided progress functions are now registered using a
113 separate function, wimlib_register_progress_function(). The
114 'progress_func' argument to many functions no longer exists.
116 - The return value from user-provided progress functions is now
119 - A context argument has been added to the prototype of
120 user-provided progress functions.
122 - 'struct wimlib_capture_config' has been removed. The library
123 now takes the path to the configuration file directly. This
124 affects wimlib_add_image(), wimlib_add_image_multisource(),
125 and wimlib_update_image(). However, a NULL value passed in
126 the argument retains the same meaning.
128 - Removed deprecated functions: some (de)compression functions,
129 wimlib_extract_files(), and wimlib_print_metadata().
131 - Removed extraction flags: WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_HARDLINK,
132 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SYMLINK, WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER,
133 and WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL.
135 - Removed some progress messages:
136 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_APPLY_TIMESTAMPS,
137 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_BEGIN,
138 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_END. Numbering
141 - Removed some error codes. Numbering stays the same.
143 - Replaced WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_LAZY with
144 WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_FORCE.
146 - WIM paths passed to progress functions now have a leading
150 Case-insensitive comparisons of strings (e.g. filenames) containing
151 UTF-16 codepoints above 32767 are now done correctly.
153 Fixed build failure on Mac OS X.
155 wimunmount now provides the '--new-image' option to cause changes to a
156 read-write mounted image to be committed as a new image rather than as
157 an update of the mounted image. (The corresponding new library flag is
158 WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_NEW_IMAGE.)
160 The LZMS ("recovery") compression chunk size, or "dictionary size", may
161 now be up to 1 GiB (1,073,741,824 bytes).
163 The performance of LZX ("maximum") and LZMS ("recovery") compression
164 with large chunk sizes has been slightly improved.
167 Stored files with size exactly 4 GiB (4,294,967,296 bytes) are now
168 decompressed correctly.
170 Fixed a bug in the LZX compressor introduced in v1.5.3. The bug
171 occurred in an unlikely case, and due to validity checks it did not
172 affect successfully created archives.
174 Fixed a minor compatibility issue with the LZMS compressor and
175 decompressor. This is *not* the default compression type and was only
176 introduced in v1.6.0. In the unlikely event that you created an
177 LZMS-compressed WIM with v1.6.0 and a checksum error is reported when
178 applying it with v1.6.1, decompress it with v1.6.0 then compress it with
181 Memory usage for LZMS and LZX compression has been decreased.
183 wimextract now allows wildcard characters in paths specified on the
184 command line. Also, the '--strict-wildcards' option has been removed
185 and replaced with the inverse option '--nullglob'. See the
186 documentation for wimextract for more details and changes.
188 The wimlib_extract_files() function is now considered deprecated in
189 favor of wimlib_extract_paths().
191 Fixed more permissions problems when extracting files on Windows.
193 A new '--no-attributes' option has been added to wimapply and
194 wimextract. The library flag is WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_NO_ATTRIBUTES.
196 The default chunk size is now set correctly when changing the
197 compression type of a WIM, for example with 'wimoptimize'.
199 The '--metadata' option to wiminfo has been replaced with the
200 '--detailed' option to wimdir.
202 In relevant wimlib-imagex commands, '--solid' may now be used as an
203 alias for '--pack-streams'.
206 Support for extracting and updating the new version 3584 WIMs has been
207 added. These WIMs typically pack many streams ("files") together into a
208 single compressed resource, thereby saving space. This degrades the
209 performance of random access (such as that which occurs on a mounted
210 image), but optimizations have been implemented for extraction. These
211 new WIM files also typically use a new compression format (LZMS), which
212 is similar to LZMA and can offer a better compression ratio than LZX.
213 These new WIM files can be created using `wimcapture' with
214 the '--compress=lzms --pack-streams' options. Note: this new WIM format
215 is used by the Windows 8 web downloader, but important segments of the
216 raw '.esd' files are encrypted, so wimlib will not be able to extract
217 such files until they are first decrypted.
219 wimlib now supports extracting files and directories from a WIM image
220 based on a "listfile" that itself contains the list of paths to extract.
221 For `wimextract', the syntax is to specify @LISTFILE instead of a PATH,
222 and for the library itself, the new APIs are wimlib_extract_pathlist()
223 and wimlib_extract_paths(). Path globs containing wildcard characters
226 For searching WIM files, wimlib now has configurable case sensitivity.
227 The default on Windows is still case-insensitive and the default on
228 UNIX-like systems is still case-sensitive, but this can be overridden
229 on either platform through flags to wimlib_global_init(). For
230 `wimlib-imagex', the environmental variable WIMLIB_IMAGEX_IGNORE_CASE
231 can be set to 1 or 0 for case-insensitive or case-sensitive behavior,
234 Support for compression chunk sizes greater than the default of 32768
235 bytes has been added. A larger chunk size typically results in a better
236 compression ratio. However, the MS implementation is seemingly not
237 compatible with all chunk sizes, especially for LZX compression, so the
238 defaults remain unchanged, with the exception of the new LZMS-compressed
239 WIMs, which use a larger chunk size by default.
241 The compression/decompression API exported by wimlib has been changed.
242 Now one set of functions handles all supported compression formats.
244 `wimcapture' and `wimappend' will now display the progress of scanning
245 the directory tree to capture, in addition to the progress of writing
246 data to the WIM. The '--verbose' option no longer does anything. The
247 library API change for this is the addition of several members to
248 `struct wimlib_progress_info_scan' available to progress callbacks.
250 `mkwinpeimg' now correctly handles the '--start-script' option when the
251 start script is not in the working directory.
253 Sequential extraction, previously requested by using
254 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL, is now the default.
255 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER can be used to get the old default
256 behavior (extract in file order).
259 The new LZX compressor added in v1.5.2 has been improved and is now
260 enabled by default, except when `wimcapture' or `wimappend' is run
261 *without* the '--compress' option, in which case the faster LZX
262 compressor is used (the same as before). This behavior is reasonably
263 consistent with ImageX which actually uses "fast" (XPRESS) compression
264 by default. In those cases, use '--compress=maximum' to explicitly
265 capture a WIM image using the new (slower but better) LZX compressor.
267 The '--compress-slow' option still exists to `wimlib-imagex optimize',
268 but its new behavior is to tweak the new LZX compressor even more to
269 produce an even better compression ratio at the cost of more time spent
272 `wimlib-imagex optimize' now supports the '--compress=TYPE' option,
273 which recompresses the WIM file using the specified compression TYPE.
274 The new library API function used for this is
275 wimlib_set_output_compression_type().
277 Added the wimlib_get_xml_data() function to allow library clients to
278 easily retrieve the raw XML data from a WIM file if needed.
280 Fixed a bug that could cause an error code to be incorrectly returned
281 when writing XML data containing a <WINDOWS> element.
283 Mounted WIM images will now correctly show the default file stream even
284 if appears in the alternate data stream entries of the corresponding WIM
288 Added a new experimental LZX compressor which can be enabled by passing
289 '--compress-slow' to `wimlib-imagex capture' or `wimlib-imagex
290 optimize'. (The latter is only applicable if the WIM is already
291 LZX-compressed and the '--recompress' option is also given.) The
292 experimental compressor is much slower but compresses the data slightly
293 more --- currently usually to within a fraction of a percent of the
294 results from WIMGAPI/ImageX.
296 A workaround has been added for compatibility with versions of WinPE
297 that interpret alternate data stream entries in the boot WIM
300 An alignment bug that caused a crash in the LZX decompressor on some
303 wimlib now attempts to clear the WIM_HDR_FLAG_WRITE_IN_PROGRESS flag in
304 the WIM header when restoring the previous state of a WIM it failed to
307 Added a workaround to avoid an access denied error on Windows when
308 replacing a WIM file that another process has opened.
311 wimlib can now open WinPE WIMs from WAIK v2.1, which had a quirk that
312 needed to be handled.
314 A bug in the interpretation of negative IMAGE indices in the
315 --update-of=[WIMFILE:]IMAGE option to `wimlib-imagex capture' and
316 `wimlib-imagex append' has been fixed.
318 A workaround has been added to successfully apply security descriptors
319 with empty DACLs when the NTFS-3g apply mode is being used with NTFS-3g
320 2013.1.13 or earlier.
322 `wimlib-imagex capture' can now accept the '--delta-from' option
326 Added support for "pipable" WIMs. Pipable WIMs allow capturing images
327 to standard output and applying images from standard input, but they are
328 not compatible with Microsoft's software and are not created by default.
329 See the documentation for --pipable flag of `wimlib-imagex capture' for
332 To better support incremental backups, added support for declaring an
333 image as a modified form of another image. See the documentation for
334 the '--update-of' option of `wimlib-imagex append' and `wimlib-imagex
337 Added supported for "delta" WIMs. See the documentation for the
338 '--delta-from' option of `wimlib-imagex capture'.
340 The library support for managing split WIMs has been changed to support
341 other arrangements, such as delta WIMs, and be easier to use. This
342 change is visible in `wimlib-imagex', which also can now accept the
343 '--ref' option multiple times, and also now supports "delta" WIMs as
346 wimlib now preserves WIM integrity tables by default, even if
347 WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not specified. This changes the
348 behavior of `wimlib-imagex' whenever the WIM being operated on contains
349 an integrity table and the '--check' option is not specified.
351 `wimlib-imagex capture' now creates LZX-compressed WIMs by default
352 (when --compress is not specified). This provides the best compression
353 ratio by default, which is usually what is desired, at a cost of some
356 `wimlib-imagex' now supports being invoked as wimCOMMAND, where COMMAND
357 is the command as in `wimlib-imagex COMMAND'; for example, it can be
358 invoked as `wimapply' as an alternative to `wimlib-imagex apply'. The
359 appropriate hard links are created in UNIX installations of
360 `wimlib-imagex', while for the Windows distribution of `wimlib-imagex',
361 batch files that emulate this behavior are generated.
363 Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows.
365 Fixed archiving DOS names in NTFS-3g capture mode.
367 The extraction code has been rewritten and it will now be easier to
368 support new features on all supported backends (currently Win32, UNIX,
369 and NTFS-3g). For example, hard-linked extraction mode (--hardlink) is
370 now supported on all backends, not just UNIX.
372 `mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather
373 than the WAIK itself.
375 wimlib_global_init() now, by default, attempts to acquire additional
376 privileges on Windows, so library clients need not do this.
378 This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it is
379 not binary compatibible with previous releases.
382 Fixed bug in `wimlib-imagex export' that made it impossible to export an
383 image from a WIM that is readonly at the filesystem level.
385 Return error code rather than segfaulting when trying to list files from
386 a non-first part of a split WIM.
388 Joining a WIM will now preserve the RP_FIX and READONLY flags.
391 On Windows, paths given to wimlib-imagex are now treated case
394 Improved behavior regarding invalid filenames; in particular, on
395 Windows, wimlib-imagex will, when extracting, now omit (with an option
396 to override this default) filenames differing only in case, or filenames
397 containing characters not valid on Windows.
399 On Windows, wimlib now supports capturing and extracting long paths
400 (longer than the so-called MAX_PATH).
402 On Windows, `wimlib-imagex update' now acquires proper privileges when
403 running as an Administrator.
405 `wimlib-imagex update' will now complain if no image is specified when
406 trying to update a multi-image WIM.
408 `wimlib-imagex update' now supports specifying a single update command
409 directly on the command line using the --command option.
411 wimlib-imagex will now choose different units for progress messages,
412 depending on the amount of data that needs to be processed.
414 `wimlib-imagex append' will now generate a unique WIM image name if no
415 name is specified and the defaulted name already exists in the WIM.
417 wimlib now allows you to create unnamed WIM images, which can then only
418 be referred to by index.
420 wimlib now allows you to explicitly declare you want write access to a
421 WIM by providing the WIMLIB_OPEN_FLAG_WRITE_ACCESS flag to
424 wimlib now respects the WIM_HDR_FLAG_READONLY flag when set in the WIM
427 Progress callbacks have been added to wimlib's wimlib_update_image()
430 Added wimlib_get_wim_info(), wimlib_set_wim_info(),
431 wimlib_iterate_dir_tree(), and wimlib_iterate_lookup_table() functions
434 NTFS-3g capture now only warns about two conditions previously treated
437 Fixed a couple issues with using wimlib-imagex on UDF filesystems on
440 wimlib now correctly detects and returns an error when reading a WIM
441 image with a cyclic directory structure. (Fun fact: such a WIM will
442 crash Microsoft's software.)
445 Added new "extract" and "update" subcommands to wimlib-imagex, along
446 with associated APIs in the library. These commands are intended mainly
447 for Windows use but can be used on UNIX as well.
449 Many documentation improvements.
451 Fixed a bug in the Windows build where relative symbolic links were not
452 captured in reparse-point fixup mode.
454 Fixed a bug in the Windows build where file handles were left open to
455 the WIM file, causing `wimlib_imagex optimize' to fail in some cases.
457 Fixed a bug in the Windows build of wimlib-imagex where globbing
458 split-WIM parts could cause the program to crash.
460 Fixed a bug where the creation time of WIM images would be shown instead
461 of the last modification time.
463 With the Windows build it is now possible to restore a WIM containing
464 symbolic links as a non-Administrator; however you will receive warnings
465 about not being able to extract the symbolic links.
468 Capturing a WIM image should now be significantly faster in most cases
469 due to improved use of the operating system's cache and avoiding reading
470 files twice whenever possible.
472 The Windows build should now work on Windows XP.
474 The Windows build now supports capturing and restoring hidden,
475 compressed, sparse, and encrypted files.
477 The Windows build now supports capturing and applying WIM images from
478 filesystems other than NTFS (with some reduced functionality).
480 The Windows build now extracts short names correctly.
482 Added support for "reparse-point" fixups (i.e. fixing up of symbolic
483 links). See docs for --rpfix and --norpfix flags of `wimlib-imagex
484 capture' and `wimlib-imagex apply'.
486 The performance of splitting and joining WIMs should be slightly
489 The LZX and XPRESS compression and decompression functions are now
490 exported from the library.
493 Improvements and bugfixes for the Windows build.
495 Added --strict-acls options.
497 Fixed the way that wimlib determines the order of images in the WIM.
500 Since wimlib can now be used on Windows, wimlib's implementation of
501 ImageX has been renamed to wimlib-imagex to avoid confusion with
502 Microsoft's implementation of ImageX, which would have the same file
503 name ("imagex.exe"). If you really don't like this you can pass the
504 --with-imagex-progname option to `configure' to choose a different name,
505 or even simply rename the binary yourself (but the former way will
506 configure the man pages to use the chosen name).
508 Various bugs fixed in the Windows build. Mainly to do with capturing
509 and restoring alternate data streams correctly in weird cases, and
510 requesting the correct privileges when opening files. Also added the
511 --noacls options to wimlib-imagex capture, append, and apply.
513 Windows build again: FindFirstStreamW() and FindNextStreamW() are now
514 dynamically loaded, so this may make the library compatible with Windows
515 XP (however, there may still be other problems).
518 Added experimental support for native Windows builds. Binaries can be
519 downloaded from the SourceForge page.
521 --source-list option added to `imagex capture' and `imagex append'.
523 Better support for different character encodings.
526 Storing UNIX file owners, groups, and modes in WIM images is now
527 possible using `imagex capture' with the --unix-data flag.
529 Minor bug fixes and documentation fixes.
532 NTFS capture: Fixed capturing duplicate reparse points.
534 NTFS capture: Capture first unnamed stream if there are more than one
535 (print warning instead of error).
537 Allow multiple test cases to execute concurrently (e.g. make -j2 check).
540 Added --arch switch to mkwinpeimg script to support getting AMD64 WinPE
543 Update to work with ntfs-3g version 2013.1.13.
546 Fixed truncating file to shorter but non-zero length on read-write
549 Various code cleanups and minor documentation fixes.
552 LZX and XPRESS decompression have received some additional optimizations
553 and should now be even faster. (Although, they were already pretty
554 fast--- much faster than typical I/O speeds.)
556 Fixed a bug introduced in v1.2.1 that would cause a directory tree
557 containing hard links to be captured incorrectly in some cases.
560 By default, unmounting a read-write mounted WIM with 'imagex unmount
561 --commit' will now change the WIM in-place without needing to write the
562 entire WIM again. Use 'imagex unmount --commit --rebuild' to get the
565 'imagex unmount' no longer has a hard-coded limit of 10 minutes to wait
566 for a response from the daemon servicing the mounted WIM. Instead,
567 every second 'imagex unmount' will check if the daemon is still alive,
568 and keep waiting if so, otherwise terminate with an error.
570 'imagex unmount --commit' on a read-write mounted WIM will now print
571 progress information regarding the writing of new or modified streams
572 the WIM, just like when capturing or appending a WIM.
574 A small change has been made to XPRESS compression and it should improve
575 the compression ratio slightly.
577 A change was made that may improve performance slightly when applying a
578 WIM image to a NTFS volume.
580 Microsoft has managed to introduce even more bugs into their software,
581 and now the WIMs for Windows 8 have incorrect (too low) reference counts
582 for some streams. This is unsafe because such streams can be removed
583 when they are in actuality still referenced in the WIM (perhaps by a
584 different image). wimlib will now work around this problem by fixing
585 the stream reference counts. This is only done when wimlib_delete_image() is
586 called ('imagex delete') or when wimlib_mount_image() is called with
587 WIMLIB_MOUNT_FLAG_READWRITE ('imagex mountrw'). Please note that this
588 requires reading the metadata for all images in the WIM, so this will
589 make these operations noticably slower on WIMs with multiple images.
591 Various other bugfixes.
594 Appending images to a WIM is now be done by default without re-building
595 the whole WIM. Use the --rebuild flag to get the old behavior (which
596 was to re-build the entire WIM when a new image is appended).
598 A new command `imagex optimize' is now available to manually re-build a
599 WIM that has wasted space due to repeated appends.
601 Progress information has been improved, and now arbitrary callback
602 functions can be used to show the progress of a WIM operation.
604 A possible bug with changing the bootable image of a WIM was fixed.
606 Some advisory locking is now done to prevent two processes from
607 modifying a WIM at the same time (but only in some cases). For example,
608 you cannot mount two images from a WIM read-write at the same time.
610 Some functions have been reorganized:
611 * wimlib_mount() renamed to wimlib_mount_image().
612 * wimlib_unmount() renamed to wimlib_unmount_image().
613 * wimlib_overwrite_xml_and_header() removed as
614 wimlib_overwrite() suffices now.
615 * wimlib_apply_image_to_ntfs_volume() removed as
616 wimlib_extract_image() suffices now.
617 * wimlib_add_image_from_ntfs_volume() removed as
618 * wimlib_add_image() suffices now.
620 Previously, the soname of libwim.so has been 0.0.0, despite many
621 interface changes. The soname is now updated to 1.0.0 and will now be
622 updated each release.
625 Resources will now be compressed using multiple threads by default.
626 (This applies to `imagex capture', `imagex append', and `imagex
629 Some performance improvements in mounted WIMs.
631 More progress information is shown when capturing a WIM.
634 Lots of minor fixes, code cleanups, and some documentation updates.
635 Nothing in particular is really noteworthy.
638 LZX and XPRESS compression improvements.
640 Fixed calculation of Directory Count, File Count, Total Bytes, and Hard
641 Link Bytes of the WIM.
644 Fixed bug when capturing NTFS file with multiple named data streams.
646 Internally, we are now using inode structures, even though these don't
647 appear literally in the WIM file. This simplifies some of the code
648 (mainly for WIM mounting) and likely fixed a few problems, although it
652 Fixed problem when exporting images from XPRESS to LZX compressed WIM or
656 Enough changes to call it version 1.0.0!
658 Capturing a WIM directly from a NTFS volume, and applying a WIM directly
659 to a NTFS volume, is now supported.
661 Hard links and symbolic links have much improved support. They are
662 supported for WIM capture, WIM application, and mounted WIMs (you can
663 even make them on read-write mounted WIMs).
665 Alternate data streams are now supported on mounted WIMs through an
666 xattr or a Windows-style stream interface. Also they are supported when
667 capturing a WIM from NTFS or applying a WIM to NTFS.
669 Split WIMs are better supported. You may now apply an image directly
670 from a split WIM, mount an image from a split WIM read-only, or export
671 an image from a split WIM.
673 Using a capture configuration file is now supported (but not fully yet).
675 SHA1 message digests are checked in more places, so we can make sure
676 applied and captured data is correct.
678 Man pages have been updated and consolidated.
681 Fixed segfault when unmounting read-only WIM.
684 Support for joining and splitting WIMs.
685 Also, security data is now preserved by default.
688 Can now build with older gcc and system headers, like on CentOS 5.
691 Fixed bug that made it impossible to overwrite files in read-write
695 Write byte-order mark before WIM XML data. (imagex.exe requires this to
