2 Extracting files to a Windows PE in-memory filesystem no longer fails if
3 the target files do not yet exist. (Broken since v1.7.0, but actually a
4 result of a Microsoft bug.)
6 The Windows binary distribution no longer contain third party DLLs.
7 These dependencies are instead compiled directly into libwim.dll.
9 More fixes for wimlib on non-x86 architectures such as ARM.
11 Slight performance improvements in compression and decompression.
13 Removed the --with-imagex-progname and --enable-more-assertions
17 Fix for very slow export from solid WIM / ESD files.
19 Fix for LZX and LZMS algorithms on non-x86 architectures, such as ARM.
21 New progress message: WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_HANDLE_ERROR. Applications
22 may use this to treat some types of errors as non-fatal.
24 The library now permits making in-memory changes to a WIMStruct backed
25 by a read-only WIM file.
27 Fixes for "WIMBoot" extraction mode (Windows only):
29 When not using the WOF driver, extraction no longer fails if the
30 disk containing the WIM file has too many partitions.
32 When matching patterns in [PrepopulateList], all hard links of
33 each file are now considered.
35 The system registry files are now automatically treated as being
38 Added a hack to try to work around an intermittent bug in
39 Microsoft's WOF (Windows Overlay Filesystem) driver.
42 Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
44 A number of improvements to the Windows port:
46 Fixes for setting short filenames.
48 Faster "WIMBoot" extraction.
50 Updated and slimmed down the dependent DLLs.
52 ACL inheritence bits are now restored.
54 Mandatory integrity labels are now backed up and restored.
56 Added a workaround for an issue where in rare cases, wimlib could create
57 a compressed data stream that could not be read correctly by Windows
58 after an extraction in "WIMBoot" mode.
61 Added file count progress data for
62 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE and
63 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
65 Added support for testing file exclusions via the user-provided
68 Some documentation improvements.
70 Made some clarifications to the license text in the COPYING file.
73 Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
75 The default compression mode for wimcapture is now LZX compression in
76 its default mode, which is the same as '--compress=maximum'.
78 You can now specify an optional integer compression level to the
79 '--compress' option; e.g. '--compress=lzx:75'.
81 Made a minor change to the LZMS compressor and decompressor to fix an
82 incompatibility with the Microsoft implementation. In the unlikely
83 event that you created an LZMS-compressed WIM with wimlib v1.7.0 or
84 earlier and a checksum error is reported when extracting files from it
85 with wimlib v1.7.1, decompress it with v1.7.0 then compress it with
88 Added 'verify' subcommand to wimlib-imagex.
90 Notable library changes:
92 Custom compressor parameters have been removed from the library
93 in favor of the simpler level-based API.
95 Decompressor parameters have been removed entirely.
97 Library users can now specify a custom file for warning and
98 error messages to be sent to, rather than the default of
101 New progress messages:
102 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE,
103 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
105 New function: wimlib_verify_wim().
108 Improved compression, decompression, and extraction performance.
110 Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files:
111 - Add support for reading and writing multiple solid blocks per
112 archive, which WIMGAPI/DISM can create when appending an image.
113 - Correctly create solid blocks larger than 4 GiB.
115 'add' commands passed to wimupdate will now replace existing
116 nondirectory files by default. Use the --no-replace option to get the
119 The license for the library now contains an exception that allows using
120 it under the LGPL. See the COPYING file for details.
122 In reparse-point fixup mode (the default for capture), symbolic links
123 and junctions that point outside the tree being captured are no longer
124 excluded from capture.
126 Added support for "WIMBoot" capture and extraction. See the
127 documentation for the new '--wimboot' option to wimcapture and wimapply
128 for more information.
130 On UNIX-like systems, you can now backup and restore device nodes, named
131 pipes, and sockets. In addition, 32-bit user and group IDs are now
134 The way that UNIX data is stored in WIM files has been changed. If you
135 captured any WIMs with the --unix-data option, to upgrade them you'll
136 need to apply them with --unix-data using wimlib-imagex v1.6.2, then
137 re-capture them with --unix-data using this version.
139 wimlib now understands tagged metadata items, such as object IDs, that
140 can be stored in WIM directory entries.
142 Removed the --hardlink and --symlink options to wimapply, since I don't
143 think they are too useful and they got in the way of improving the code.
145 WIMs will now retain their GUIDs when rebuilt (e.g. with wimoptimize).
147 The 'mkwinpeimg' script now supports writing the ISO image to standard
150 The <ARCH> element in WIM XML data is now exported correctly.
152 On Windows, sparse file attributes are no longer set on extracted files.
153 Oddly enough, this actually saves disk space in some cases.
155 On UNIX, configuring with --disable-xattr or --enable-xattr is no longer
156 supported. Mounting WIM images now always requires extended attribute
157 support. Use --without-fuse to disable support for mounting WIM images;
158 this will also disable the need for extended attribute support.
160 Configuring with --enable-ssse3-sha1 now works correctly.
162 The shared library version has been bumped up. The main
163 incompatibilities are:
165 - WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_XPRESS is now 1 and
166 WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_LZX is now 2 (so it's the same as
169 - User-provided progress functions are now registered using a
170 separate function, wimlib_register_progress_function(). The
171 'progress_func' argument to many functions no longer exists.
173 - The return value from user-provided progress functions is now
176 - A context argument has been added to the prototype of
177 user-provided progress functions.
179 - 'struct wimlib_capture_config' has been removed. The library
180 now takes the path to the configuration file directly. This
181 affects wimlib_add_image(), wimlib_add_image_multisource(),
182 and wimlib_update_image(). However, a NULL value passed in
183 the argument retains the same meaning.
185 - Removed deprecated functions: some (de)compression functions,
186 wimlib_extract_files(), and wimlib_print_metadata().
188 - Removed extraction flags: WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_HARDLINK,
189 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SYMLINK, WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER,
190 and WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL.
192 - Removed some progress messages:
193 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_APPLY_TIMESTAMPS,
194 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_BEGIN,
195 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_END. Numbering
198 - Removed some error codes. Numbering stays the same.
200 - Replaced WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_LAZY with
201 WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_FORCE.
203 - WIM paths passed to progress functions now have a leading
207 Case-insensitive comparisons of strings (e.g. filenames) containing
208 UTF-16 codepoints above 32767 are now done correctly.
210 Fixed build failure on Mac OS X.
212 wimunmount now provides the '--new-image' option to cause changes to a
213 read-write mounted image to be committed as a new image rather than as
214 an update of the mounted image. (The corresponding new library flag is
215 WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_NEW_IMAGE.)
217 The LZMS ("recovery") compression chunk size, or "dictionary size", may
218 now be up to 1 GiB (1,073,741,824 bytes).
220 The performance of LZX ("maximum") and LZMS ("recovery") compression
221 with large chunk sizes has been slightly improved.
224 Stored files with size exactly 4 GiB (4,294,967,296 bytes) are now
225 decompressed correctly.
227 Fixed a bug in the LZX compressor introduced in v1.5.3. The bug
228 occurred in an unlikely case, and due to validity checks it did not
229 affect successfully created archives.
231 Fixed a minor compatibility issue with the LZMS compressor and
232 decompressor. This is *not* the default compression type and was only
233 introduced in v1.6.0. In the unlikely event that you created an
234 LZMS-compressed WIM with v1.6.0 and a checksum error is reported when
235 applying it with v1.6.1, decompress it with v1.6.0 then compress it with
238 Memory usage for LZMS and LZX compression has been decreased.
240 wimextract now allows wildcard characters in paths specified on the
241 command line. Also, the '--strict-wildcards' option has been removed
242 and replaced with the inverse option '--nullglob'. See the
243 documentation for wimextract for more details and changes.
245 The wimlib_extract_files() function is now considered deprecated in
246 favor of wimlib_extract_paths().
248 Fixed more permissions problems when extracting files on Windows.
250 A new '--no-attributes' option has been added to wimapply and
251 wimextract. The library flag is WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_NO_ATTRIBUTES.
253 The default chunk size is now set correctly when changing the
254 compression type of a WIM, for example with 'wimoptimize'.
256 The '--metadata' option to wiminfo has been replaced with the
257 '--detailed' option to wimdir.
259 In relevant wimlib-imagex commands, '--solid' may now be used as an
260 alias for '--pack-streams'.
263 Support for extracting and updating the new version 3584 WIMs has been
264 added. These WIMs typically pack many streams ("files") together into a
265 single compressed resource, thereby saving space. This degrades the
266 performance of random access (such as that which occurs on a mounted
267 image), but optimizations have been implemented for extraction. These
268 new WIM files also typically use a new compression format (LZMS), which
269 is similar to LZMA and can offer a better compression ratio than LZX.
270 These new WIM files can be created using `wimcapture' with
271 the '--compress=lzms --pack-streams' options. Note: this new WIM format
272 is used by the Windows 8 web downloader, but important segments of the
273 raw '.esd' files are encrypted, so wimlib will not be able to extract
274 such files until they are first decrypted.
276 wimlib now supports extracting files and directories from a WIM image
277 based on a "listfile" that itself contains the list of paths to extract.
278 For `wimextract', the syntax is to specify @LISTFILE instead of a PATH,
279 and for the library itself, the new APIs are wimlib_extract_pathlist()
280 and wimlib_extract_paths(). Path globs containing wildcard characters
283 For searching WIM files, wimlib now has configurable case sensitivity.
284 The default on Windows is still case-insensitive and the default on
285 UNIX-like systems is still case-sensitive, but this can be overridden
286 on either platform through flags to wimlib_global_init(). For
287 `wimlib-imagex', the environmental variable WIMLIB_IMAGEX_IGNORE_CASE
288 can be set to 1 or 0 for case-insensitive or case-sensitive behavior,
291 Support for compression chunk sizes greater than the default of 32768
292 bytes has been added. A larger chunk size typically results in a better
293 compression ratio. However, the MS implementation is seemingly not
294 compatible with all chunk sizes, especially for LZX compression, so the
295 defaults remain unchanged, with the exception of the new LZMS-compressed
296 WIMs, which use a larger chunk size by default.
298 The compression/decompression API exported by wimlib has been changed.
299 Now one set of functions handles all supported compression formats.
301 `wimcapture' and `wimappend' will now display the progress of scanning
302 the directory tree to capture, in addition to the progress of writing
303 data to the WIM. The '--verbose' option no longer does anything. The
304 library API change for this is the addition of several members to
305 `struct wimlib_progress_info_scan' available to progress callbacks.
307 `mkwinpeimg' now correctly handles the '--start-script' option when the
308 start script is not in the working directory.
310 Sequential extraction, previously requested by using
311 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL, is now the default.
312 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER can be used to get the old default
313 behavior (extract in file order).
316 The new LZX compressor added in v1.5.2 has been improved and is now
317 enabled by default, except when `wimcapture' or `wimappend' is run
318 *without* the '--compress' option, in which case the faster LZX
319 compressor is used (the same as before). This behavior is reasonably
320 consistent with ImageX which actually uses "fast" (XPRESS) compression
321 by default. In those cases, use '--compress=maximum' to explicitly
322 capture a WIM image using the new (slower but better) LZX compressor.
324 The '--compress-slow' option still exists to `wimlib-imagex optimize',
325 but its new behavior is to tweak the new LZX compressor even more to
326 produce an even better compression ratio at the cost of more time spent
329 `wimlib-imagex optimize' now supports the '--compress=TYPE' option,
330 which recompresses the WIM file using the specified compression TYPE.
331 The new library API function used for this is
332 wimlib_set_output_compression_type().
334 Added the wimlib_get_xml_data() function to allow library clients to
335 easily retrieve the raw XML data from a WIM file if needed.
337 Fixed a bug that could cause an error code to be incorrectly returned
338 when writing XML data containing a <WINDOWS> element.
340 Mounted WIM images will now correctly show the default file stream even
341 if appears in the alternate data stream entries of the corresponding WIM
345 Added a new experimental LZX compressor which can be enabled by passing
346 '--compress-slow' to `wimlib-imagex capture' or `wimlib-imagex
347 optimize'. (The latter is only applicable if the WIM is already
348 LZX-compressed and the '--recompress' option is also given.) The
349 experimental compressor is much slower but compresses the data slightly
350 more --- currently usually to within a fraction of a percent of the
351 results from WIMGAPI/ImageX.
353 A workaround has been added for compatibility with versions of WinPE
354 that interpret alternate data stream entries in the boot WIM
357 An alignment bug that caused a crash in the LZX decompressor on some
360 wimlib now attempts to clear the WIM_HDR_FLAG_WRITE_IN_PROGRESS flag in
361 the WIM header when restoring the previous state of a WIM it failed to
364 Added a workaround to avoid an access denied error on Windows when
365 replacing a WIM file that another process has opened.
368 wimlib can now open WinPE WIMs from WAIK v2.1, which had a quirk that
369 needed to be handled.
371 A bug in the interpretation of negative IMAGE indices in the
372 --update-of=[WIMFILE:]IMAGE option to `wimlib-imagex capture' and
373 `wimlib-imagex append' has been fixed.
375 A workaround has been added to successfully apply security descriptors
376 with empty DACLs when the NTFS-3g apply mode is being used with NTFS-3g
377 2013.1.13 or earlier.
379 `wimlib-imagex capture' can now accept the '--delta-from' option
383 Added support for "pipable" WIMs. Pipable WIMs allow capturing images
384 to standard output and applying images from standard input, but they are
385 not compatible with Microsoft's software and are not created by default.
386 See the documentation for --pipable flag of `wimlib-imagex capture' for
389 To better support incremental backups, added support for declaring an
390 image as a modified form of another image. See the documentation for
391 the '--update-of' option of `wimlib-imagex append' and `wimlib-imagex
394 Added supported for "delta" WIMs. See the documentation for the
395 '--delta-from' option of `wimlib-imagex capture'.
397 The library support for managing split WIMs has been changed to support
398 other arrangements, such as delta WIMs, and be easier to use. This
399 change is visible in `wimlib-imagex', which also can now accept the
400 '--ref' option multiple times, and also now supports "delta" WIMs as
403 wimlib now preserves WIM integrity tables by default, even if
404 WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not specified. This changes the
405 behavior of `wimlib-imagex' whenever the WIM being operated on contains
406 an integrity table and the '--check' option is not specified.
408 `wimlib-imagex capture' now creates LZX-compressed WIMs by default
409 (when --compress is not specified). This provides the best compression
410 ratio by default, which is usually what is desired, at a cost of some
413 `wimlib-imagex' now supports being invoked as wimCOMMAND, where COMMAND
414 is the command as in `wimlib-imagex COMMAND'; for example, it can be
415 invoked as `wimapply' as an alternative to `wimlib-imagex apply'. The
416 appropriate hard links are created in UNIX installations of
417 `wimlib-imagex', while for the Windows distribution of `wimlib-imagex',
418 batch files that emulate this behavior are generated.
420 Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows.
422 Fixed archiving DOS names in NTFS-3g capture mode.
424 The extraction code has been rewritten and it will now be easier to
425 support new features on all supported backends (currently Win32, UNIX,
426 and NTFS-3g). For example, hard-linked extraction mode (--hardlink) is
427 now supported on all backends, not just UNIX.
429 `mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather
430 than the WAIK itself.
432 wimlib_global_init() now, by default, attempts to acquire additional
433 privileges on Windows, so library clients need not do this.
435 This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it is
436 not binary compatibible with previous releases.
439 Fixed bug in `wimlib-imagex export' that made it impossible to export an
440 image from a WIM that is readonly at the filesystem level.
442 Return error code rather than segfaulting when trying to list files from
443 a non-first part of a split WIM.
445 Joining a WIM will now preserve the RP_FIX and READONLY flags.
448 On Windows, paths given to wimlib-imagex are now treated case
451 Improved behavior regarding invalid filenames; in particular, on
452 Windows, wimlib-imagex will, when extracting, now omit (with an option
453 to override this default) filenames differing only in case, or filenames
454 containing characters not valid on Windows.
456 On Windows, wimlib now supports capturing and extracting long paths
457 (longer than the so-called MAX_PATH).
459 On Windows, `wimlib-imagex update' now acquires proper privileges when
460 running as an Administrator.
462 `wimlib-imagex update' will now complain if no image is specified when
463 trying to update a multi-image WIM.
465 `wimlib-imagex update' now supports specifying a single update command
466 directly on the command line using the --command option.
468 wimlib-imagex will now choose different units for progress messages,
469 depending on the amount of data that needs to be processed.
471 `wimlib-imagex append' will now generate a unique WIM image name if no
472 name is specified and the defaulted name already exists in the WIM.
474 wimlib now allows you to create unnamed WIM images, which can then only
475 be referred to by index.
477 wimlib now allows you to explicitly declare you want write access to a
478 WIM by providing the WIMLIB_OPEN_FLAG_WRITE_ACCESS flag to
481 wimlib now respects the WIM_HDR_FLAG_READONLY flag when set in the WIM
484 Progress callbacks have been added to wimlib's wimlib_update_image()
487 Added wimlib_get_wim_info(), wimlib_set_wim_info(),
488 wimlib_iterate_dir_tree(), and wimlib_iterate_lookup_table() functions
491 NTFS-3g capture now only warns about two conditions previously treated
494 Fixed a couple issues with using wimlib-imagex on UDF filesystems on
497 wimlib now correctly detects and returns an error when reading a WIM
498 image with a cyclic directory structure. (Fun fact: such a WIM will
499 crash Microsoft's software.)
502 Added new "extract" and "update" subcommands to wimlib-imagex, along
503 with associated APIs in the library. These commands are intended mainly
504 for Windows use but can be used on UNIX as well.
506 Many documentation improvements.
508 Fixed a bug in the Windows build where relative symbolic links were not
509 captured in reparse-point fixup mode.
511 Fixed a bug in the Windows build where file handles were left open to
512 the WIM file, causing `wimlib_imagex optimize' to fail in some cases.
514 Fixed a bug in the Windows build of wimlib-imagex where globbing
515 split-WIM parts could cause the program to crash.
517 Fixed a bug where the creation time of WIM images would be shown instead
518 of the last modification time.
520 With the Windows build it is now possible to restore a WIM containing
521 symbolic links as a non-Administrator; however you will receive warnings
522 about not being able to extract the symbolic links.
525 Capturing a WIM image should now be significantly faster in most cases
526 due to improved use of the operating system's cache and avoiding reading
527 files twice whenever possible.
529 The Windows build should now work on Windows XP.
531 The Windows build now supports capturing and restoring hidden,
532 compressed, sparse, and encrypted files.
534 The Windows build now supports capturing and applying WIM images from
535 filesystems other than NTFS (with some reduced functionality).
537 The Windows build now extracts short names correctly.
539 Added support for "reparse-point" fixups (i.e. fixing up of symbolic
540 links). See docs for --rpfix and --norpfix flags of `wimlib-imagex
541 capture' and `wimlib-imagex apply'.
543 The performance of splitting and joining WIMs should be slightly
546 The LZX and XPRESS compression and decompression functions are now
547 exported from the library.
550 Improvements and bugfixes for the Windows build.
552 Added --strict-acls options.
554 Fixed the way that wimlib determines the order of images in the WIM.
557 Since wimlib can now be used on Windows, wimlib's implementation of
558 ImageX has been renamed to wimlib-imagex to avoid confusion with
559 Microsoft's implementation of ImageX, which would have the same file
560 name ("imagex.exe"). If you really don't like this you can pass the
561 --with-imagex-progname option to `configure' to choose a different name,
562 or even simply rename the binary yourself (but the former way will
563 configure the man pages to use the chosen name).
565 Various bugs fixed in the Windows build. Mainly to do with capturing
566 and restoring alternate data streams correctly in weird cases, and
567 requesting the correct privileges when opening files. Also added the
568 --noacls options to wimlib-imagex capture, append, and apply.
570 Windows build again: FindFirstStreamW() and FindNextStreamW() are now
571 dynamically loaded, so this may make the library compatible with Windows
572 XP (however, there may still be other problems).
575 Added experimental support for native Windows builds. Binaries can be
576 downloaded from the SourceForge page.
578 --source-list option added to `imagex capture' and `imagex append'.
580 Better support for different character encodings.
583 Storing UNIX file owners, groups, and modes in WIM images is now
584 possible using `imagex capture' with the --unix-data flag.
586 Minor bug fixes and documentation fixes.
589 NTFS capture: Fixed capturing duplicate reparse points.
591 NTFS capture: Capture first unnamed stream if there are more than one
592 (print warning instead of error).
594 Allow multiple test cases to execute concurrently (e.g. make -j2 check).
597 Added --arch switch to mkwinpeimg script to support getting AMD64 WinPE
600 Update to work with ntfs-3g version 2013.1.13.
603 Fixed truncating file to shorter but non-zero length on read-write
606 Various code cleanups and minor documentation fixes.
609 LZX and XPRESS decompression have received some additional optimizations
610 and should now be even faster. (Although, they were already pretty
611 fast--- much faster than typical I/O speeds.)
613 Fixed a bug introduced in v1.2.1 that would cause a directory tree
614 containing hard links to be captured incorrectly in some cases.
617 By default, unmounting a read-write mounted WIM with 'imagex unmount
618 --commit' will now change the WIM in-place without needing to write the
619 entire WIM again. Use 'imagex unmount --commit --rebuild' to get the
622 'imagex unmount' no longer has a hard-coded limit of 10 minutes to wait
623 for a response from the daemon servicing the mounted WIM. Instead,
624 every second 'imagex unmount' will check if the daemon is still alive,
625 and keep waiting if so, otherwise terminate with an error.
627 'imagex unmount --commit' on a read-write mounted WIM will now print
628 progress information regarding the writing of new or modified streams
629 the WIM, just like when capturing or appending a WIM.
631 A small change has been made to XPRESS compression and it should improve
632 the compression ratio slightly.
634 A change was made that may improve performance slightly when applying a
635 WIM image to a NTFS volume.
637 Microsoft has managed to introduce even more bugs into their software,
638 and now the WIMs for Windows 8 have incorrect (too low) reference counts
639 for some streams. This is unsafe because such streams can be removed
640 when they are in actuality still referenced in the WIM (perhaps by a
641 different image). wimlib will now work around this problem by fixing
642 the stream reference counts. This is only done when wimlib_delete_image() is
643 called ('imagex delete') or when wimlib_mount_image() is called with
644 WIMLIB_MOUNT_FLAG_READWRITE ('imagex mountrw'). Please note that this
645 requires reading the metadata for all images in the WIM, so this will
646 make these operations noticably slower on WIMs with multiple images.
648 Various other bugfixes.
651 Appending images to a WIM is now be done by default without re-building
652 the whole WIM. Use the --rebuild flag to get the old behavior (which
653 was to re-build the entire WIM when a new image is appended).
655 A new command `imagex optimize' is now available to manually re-build a
656 WIM that has wasted space due to repeated appends.
658 Progress information has been improved, and now arbitrary callback
659 functions can be used to show the progress of a WIM operation.
661 A possible bug with changing the bootable image of a WIM was fixed.
663 Some advisory locking is now done to prevent two processes from
664 modifying a WIM at the same time (but only in some cases). For example,
665 you cannot mount two images from a WIM read-write at the same time.
667 Some functions have been reorganized:
668 * wimlib_mount() renamed to wimlib_mount_image().
669 * wimlib_unmount() renamed to wimlib_unmount_image().
670 * wimlib_overwrite_xml_and_header() removed as
671 wimlib_overwrite() suffices now.
672 * wimlib_apply_image_to_ntfs_volume() removed as
673 wimlib_extract_image() suffices now.
674 * wimlib_add_image_from_ntfs_volume() removed as
675 * wimlib_add_image() suffices now.
677 Previously, the soname of libwim.so has been 0.0.0, despite many
678 interface changes. The soname is now updated to 1.0.0 and will now be
679 updated each release.
682 Resources will now be compressed using multiple threads by default.
683 (This applies to `imagex capture', `imagex append', and `imagex
686 Some performance improvements in mounted WIMs.
688 More progress information is shown when capturing a WIM.
691 Lots of minor fixes, code cleanups, and some documentation updates.
692 Nothing in particular is really noteworthy.
695 LZX and XPRESS compression improvements.
697 Fixed calculation of Directory Count, File Count, Total Bytes, and Hard
698 Link Bytes of the WIM.
701 Fixed bug when capturing NTFS file with multiple named data streams.
703 Internally, we are now using inode structures, even though these don't
704 appear literally in the WIM file. This simplifies some of the code
705 (mainly for WIM mounting) and likely fixed a few problems, although it
709 Fixed problem when exporting images from XPRESS to LZX compressed WIM or
713 Enough changes to call it version 1.0.0!
715 Capturing a WIM directly from a NTFS volume, and applying a WIM directly
716 to a NTFS volume, is now supported.
718 Hard links and symbolic links have much improved support. They are
719 supported for WIM capture, WIM application, and mounted WIMs (you can
720 even make them on read-write mounted WIMs).
722 Alternate data streams are now supported on mounted WIMs through an
723 xattr or a Windows-style stream interface. Also they are supported when
724 capturing a WIM from NTFS or applying a WIM to NTFS.
726 Split WIMs are better supported. You may now apply an image directly
727 from a split WIM, mount an image from a split WIM read-only, or export
728 an image from a split WIM.
730 Using a capture configuration file is now supported (but not fully yet).
732 SHA1 message digests are checked in more places, so we can make sure
733 applied and captured data is correct.
735 Man pages have been updated and consolidated.
738 Fixed segfault when unmounting read-only WIM.
741 Support for joining and splitting WIMs.
742 Also, security data is now preserved by default.
745 Can now build with older gcc and system headers, like on CentOS 5.
748 Fixed bug that made it impossible to overwrite files in read-write
752 Write byte-order mark before WIM XML data. (imagex.exe requires this to
