10 More progress information is shown when capturing a WIM.
13 Lots of minor fixes, code cleanups, and some documentation updates.
14 Nothing in particular is really noteworthy.
17 LZX and XPRESS compression improvements.
19 Fixed calculation of Directory Count, File Count, Total Bytes, and Hard
20 Link Bytes of the WIM.
23 Fixed bug when capturing NTFS file with multiple named data streams.
25 Internally, we are now using inode structures, even though these don't
26 appear literally in the WIM file. This simplifies some of the code
27 (mainly for WIM mounting) and likely fixed a few problems, although it
31 Fixed problem when exporting images from XPRESS to LZX compressed WIM or

37 Capturing a WIM directly from a NTFS volume, and applying a WIM directly
38 to a NTFS volume, is now supported.
40 Hard links and symbolic links have much improved support. They are
41 supported for WIM capture, WIM application, and mounted WIMs (you can
42 even make them on read-write mounted WIMs).
44 Alternate data streams are now supported on mounted WIMs through an

46 capturing a WIM from NTFS or applying a WIM to NTFS.
48 Split WIMs are better supported. You may now apply an image directly
49 from a split WIM, mount an image from a split WIM read-only, or export
50 an image from a split WIM.
52 Using a capture configuration file is now supported (but not fully yet).
54 SHA1 message digests are checked in more places, so we can make sure
55 applied and captured data is correct.
57 Man pages have been updated and consolidated.
60 Fixed segfault when unmounting read-only WIM.
63 Support for joining and splitting WIMs.
64 Also, security data is now preserved by default.
67 Can now build with older gcc and system headers, like on CentOS 5.
70 Fixed bug that made it impossible to overwrite files in read-write
74 Write byte-order mark before WIM XML data. (imagex.exe requires this to
