2 Fix for very slow export from solid WIM / ESD files.
4 New progress message: WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_HANDLE_ERROR. Applications
5 may use this to treat some types of errors as non-fatal.
7 The library now permits making in-memory changes to a WIMStruct backed
8 by a read-only WIM file.
10 Fixes for "WIMBoot" extraction mode (Windows only):
12 When not using the WOF driver, extraction no longer fails if the
13 disk containing the WIM file has too many partitions.
15 When matching patterns in [PrepopulateList], all hard links of
16 each file are now considered.
18 The system registry files are now automatically treated as being
21 Added a hack to try to work around an intermittent bug in
22 Microsoft's WOF (Windows Overlay Filesystem) driver.
25 Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
27 A number of improvements to the Windows port:
29 Fixes for setting short filenames.
31 Faster "WIMBoot" extraction.
33 Updated and slimmed down the dependent DLLs.
35 ACL inheritence bits are now restored.
37 Mandatory integrity labels are now backed up and restored.
39 Added a workaround for an issue where in rare cases, wimlib could create
40 a compressed data stream that could not be read correctly by Windows
41 after an extraction in "WIMBoot" mode.
44 Added file count progress data for
45 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE and
46 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
48 Added support for testing file exclusions via the user-provided
51 Some documentation improvements.
53 Made some clarifications to the license text in the COPYING file.
56 Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
58 The default compression mode for wimcapture is now LZX compression in
59 its default mode, which is the same as '--compress=maximum'.
61 You can now specify an optional integer compression level to the
62 '--compress' option; e.g. '--compress=lzx:75'.
64 Made a minor change to the LZMS compressor and decompressor to fix an
65 incompatibility with the Microsoft implementation. In the unlikely
66 event that you created an LZMS-compressed WIM with wimlib v1.7.0 or
67 earlier and a checksum error is reported when extracting files from it
68 with wimlib v1.7.1, decompress it with v1.7.0 then compress it with
71 Added 'verify' subcommand to wimlib-imagex.
73 Notable library changes:
75 Custom compressor parameters have been removed from the library
76 in favor of the simpler level-based API.
78 Decompressor parameters have been removed entirely.
80 Library users can now specify a custom file for warning and
81 error messages to be sent to, rather than the default of
84 New progress messages:
85 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE,
86 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
88 New function: wimlib_verify_wim().
91 Improved compression, decompression, and extraction performance.
93 Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files:
94 - Add support for reading and writing multiple solid blocks per
95 archive, which WIMGAPI/DISM can create when appending an image.
96 - Correctly create solid blocks larger than 4 GiB.
98 'add' commands passed to wimupdate will now replace existing
99 nondirectory files by default. Use the --no-replace option to get the
102 The license for the library now contains an exception that allows using
103 it under the LGPL. See the COPYING file for details.
105 In reparse-point fixup mode (the default for capture), symbolic links
106 and junctions that point outside the tree being captured are no longer
107 excluded from capture.
109 Added support for "WIMBoot" capture and extraction. See the
110 documentation for the new '--wimboot' option to wimcapture and wimapply
111 for more information.
113 On UNIX-like systems, you can now backup and restore device nodes, named
114 pipes, and sockets. In addition, 32-bit user and group IDs are now
117 The way that UNIX data is stored in WIM files has been changed. If you
118 captured any WIMs with the --unix-data option, to upgrade them you'll
119 need to apply them with --unix-data using wimlib-imagex v1.6.2, then
120 re-capture them with --unix-data using this version.
122 wimlib now understands tagged metadata items, such as object IDs, that
123 can be stored in WIM directory entries.
125 Removed the --hardlink and --symlink options to wimapply, since I don't
126 think they are too useful and they got in the way of improving the code.
128 WIMs will now retain their GUIDs when rebuilt (e.g. with wimoptimize).
130 The 'mkwinpeimg' script now supports writing the ISO image to standard
133 The <ARCH> element in WIM XML data is now exported correctly.
135 On Windows, sparse file attributes are no longer set on extracted files.
136 Oddly enough, this actually saves disk space in some cases.
138 On UNIX, configuring with --disable-xattr or --enable-xattr is no longer
139 supported. Mounting WIM images now always requires extended attribute
140 support. Use --without-fuse to disable support for mounting WIM images;
141 this will also disable the need for extended attribute support.
143 Configuring with --enable-ssse3-sha1 now works correctly.
145 The shared library version has been bumped up. The main
146 incompatibilities are:
148 - WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_XPRESS is now 1 and
149 WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_LZX is now 2 (so it's the same as
152 - User-provided progress functions are now registered using a
153 separate function, wimlib_register_progress_function(). The
154 'progress_func' argument to many functions no longer exists.
156 - The return value from user-provided progress functions is now
159 - A context argument has been added to the prototype of
160 user-provided progress functions.
162 - 'struct wimlib_capture_config' has been removed. The library
163 now takes the path to the configuration file directly. This
164 affects wimlib_add_image(), wimlib_add_image_multisource(),
165 and wimlib_update_image(). However, a NULL value passed in
166 the argument retains the same meaning.
168 - Removed deprecated functions: some (de)compression functions,
169 wimlib_extract_files(), and wimlib_print_metadata().
171 - Removed extraction flags: WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_HARDLINK,
172 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SYMLINK, WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER,
173 and WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL.
175 - Removed some progress messages:
176 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_APPLY_TIMESTAMPS,
177 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_BEGIN,
178 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_END. Numbering
181 - Removed some error codes. Numbering stays the same.
183 - Replaced WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_LAZY with
184 WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_FORCE.
186 - WIM paths passed to progress functions now have a leading
190 Case-insensitive comparisons of strings (e.g. filenames) containing
191 UTF-16 codepoints above 32767 are now done correctly.
193 Fixed build failure on Mac OS X.
195 wimunmount now provides the '--new-image' option to cause changes to a
196 read-write mounted image to be committed as a new image rather than as
197 an update of the mounted image. (The corresponding new library flag is
198 WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_NEW_IMAGE.)
200 The LZMS ("recovery") compression chunk size, or "dictionary size", may
201 now be up to 1 GiB (1,073,741,824 bytes).
203 The performance of LZX ("maximum") and LZMS ("recovery") compression
204 with large chunk sizes has been slightly improved.
207 Stored files with size exactly 4 GiB (4,294,967,296 bytes) are now
208 decompressed correctly.
210 Fixed a bug in the LZX compressor introduced in v1.5.3. The bug
211 occurred in an unlikely case, and due to validity checks it did not
212 affect successfully created archives.
214 Fixed a minor compatibility issue with the LZMS compressor and
215 decompressor. This is *not* the default compression type and was only
216 introduced in v1.6.0. In the unlikely event that you created an
217 LZMS-compressed WIM with v1.6.0 and a checksum error is reported when
218 applying it with v1.6.1, decompress it with v1.6.0 then compress it with
221 Memory usage for LZMS and LZX compression has been decreased.
223 wimextract now allows wildcard characters in paths specified on the
224 command line. Also, the '--strict-wildcards' option has been removed
225 and replaced with the inverse option '--nullglob'. See the
226 documentation for wimextract for more details and changes.
228 The wimlib_extract_files() function is now considered deprecated in
229 favor of wimlib_extract_paths().
231 Fixed more permissions problems when extracting files on Windows.
233 A new '--no-attributes' option has been added to wimapply and
234 wimextract. The library flag is WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_NO_ATTRIBUTES.
236 The default chunk size is now set correctly when changing the
237 compression type of a WIM, for example with 'wimoptimize'.
239 The '--metadata' option to wiminfo has been replaced with the
240 '--detailed' option to wimdir.
242 In relevant wimlib-imagex commands, '--solid' may now be used as an
243 alias for '--pack-streams'.
246 Support for extracting and updating the new version 3584 WIMs has been
247 added. These WIMs typically pack many streams ("files") together into a
248 single compressed resource, thereby saving space. This degrades the
249 performance of random access (such as that which occurs on a mounted
250 image), but optimizations have been implemented for extraction. These
251 new WIM files also typically use a new compression format (LZMS), which
252 is similar to LZMA and can offer a better compression ratio than LZX.
253 These new WIM files can be created using `wimcapture' with
254 the '--compress=lzms --pack-streams' options. Note: this new WIM format
255 is used by the Windows 8 web downloader, but important segments of the
256 raw '.esd' files are encrypted, so wimlib will not be able to extract
257 such files until they are first decrypted.
259 wimlib now supports extracting files and directories from a WIM image
260 based on a "listfile" that itself contains the list of paths to extract.
261 For `wimextract', the syntax is to specify @LISTFILE instead of a PATH,
262 and for the library itself, the new APIs are wimlib_extract_pathlist()
263 and wimlib_extract_paths(). Path globs containing wildcard characters
266 For searching WIM files, wimlib now has configurable case sensitivity.
267 The default on Windows is still case-insensitive and the default on
268 UNIX-like systems is still case-sensitive, but this can be overridden
269 on either platform through flags to wimlib_global_init(). For
270 `wimlib-imagex', the environmental variable WIMLIB_IMAGEX_IGNORE_CASE
271 can be set to 1 or 0 for case-insensitive or case-sensitive behavior,
274 Support for compression chunk sizes greater than the default of 32768
275 bytes has been added. A larger chunk size typically results in a better
276 compression ratio. However, the MS implementation is seemingly not
277 compatible with all chunk sizes, especially for LZX compression, so the
278 defaults remain unchanged, with the exception of the new LZMS-compressed
279 WIMs, which use a larger chunk size by default.
281 The compression/decompression API exported by wimlib has been changed.
282 Now one set of functions handles all supported compression formats.
284 `wimcapture' and `wimappend' will now display the progress of scanning
285 the directory tree to capture, in addition to the progress of writing
286 data to the WIM. The '--verbose' option no longer does anything. The
287 library API change for this is the addition of several members to
288 `struct wimlib_progress_info_scan' available to progress callbacks.
290 `mkwinpeimg' now correctly handles the '--start-script' option when the
291 start script is not in the working directory.
293 Sequential extraction, previously requested by using
294 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL, is now the default.
295 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER can be used to get the old default
296 behavior (extract in file order).
299 The new LZX compressor added in v1.5.2 has been improved and is now
300 enabled by default, except when `wimcapture' or `wimappend' is run
301 *without* the '--compress' option, in which case the faster LZX
302 compressor is used (the same as before). This behavior is reasonably
303 consistent with ImageX which actually uses "fast" (XPRESS) compression
304 by default. In those cases, use '--compress=maximum' to explicitly
305 capture a WIM image using the new (slower but better) LZX compressor.
307 The '--compress-slow' option still exists to `wimlib-imagex optimize',
308 but its new behavior is to tweak the new LZX compressor even more to
309 produce an even better compression ratio at the cost of more time spent
312 `wimlib-imagex optimize' now supports the '--compress=TYPE' option,
313 which recompresses the WIM file using the specified compression TYPE.
314 The new library API function used for this is
315 wimlib_set_output_compression_type().
317 Added the wimlib_get_xml_data() function to allow library clients to
318 easily retrieve the raw XML data from a WIM file if needed.
320 Fixed a bug that could cause an error code to be incorrectly returned
321 when writing XML data containing a <WINDOWS> element.
323 Mounted WIM images will now correctly show the default file stream even
324 if appears in the alternate data stream entries of the corresponding WIM
328 Added a new experimental LZX compressor which can be enabled by passing
329 '--compress-slow' to `wimlib-imagex capture' or `wimlib-imagex
330 optimize'. (The latter is only applicable if the WIM is already
331 LZX-compressed and the '--recompress' option is also given.) The
332 experimental compressor is much slower but compresses the data slightly
333 more --- currently usually to within a fraction of a percent of the
334 results from WIMGAPI/ImageX.
336 A workaround has been added for compatibility with versions of WinPE
337 that interpret alternate data stream entries in the boot WIM
340 An alignment bug that caused a crash in the LZX decompressor on some
343 wimlib now attempts to clear the WIM_HDR_FLAG_WRITE_IN_PROGRESS flag in
344 the WIM header when restoring the previous state of a WIM it failed to
347 Added a workaround to avoid an access denied error on Windows when
348 replacing a WIM file that another process has opened.
351 wimlib can now open WinPE WIMs from WAIK v2.1, which had a quirk that
352 needed to be handled.
354 A bug in the interpretation of negative IMAGE indices in the
355 --update-of=[WIMFILE:]IMAGE option to `wimlib-imagex capture' and
356 `wimlib-imagex append' has been fixed.
358 A workaround has been added to successfully apply security descriptors
359 with empty DACLs when the NTFS-3g apply mode is being used with NTFS-3g
360 2013.1.13 or earlier.
362 `wimlib-imagex capture' can now accept the '--delta-from' option
366 Added support for "pipable" WIMs. Pipable WIMs allow capturing images
367 to standard output and applying images from standard input, but they are
368 not compatible with Microsoft's software and are not created by default.
369 See the documentation for --pipable flag of `wimlib-imagex capture' for
372 To better support incremental backups, added support for declaring an
373 image as a modified form of another image. See the documentation for
374 the '--update-of' option of `wimlib-imagex append' and `wimlib-imagex
377 Added supported for "delta" WIMs. See the documentation for the
378 '--delta-from' option of `wimlib-imagex capture'.
380 The library support for managing split WIMs has been changed to support
381 other arrangements, such as delta WIMs, and be easier to use. This
382 change is visible in `wimlib-imagex', which also can now accept the
383 '--ref' option multiple times, and also now supports "delta" WIMs as
386 wimlib now preserves WIM integrity tables by default, even if
387 WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not specified. This changes the
388 behavior of `wimlib-imagex' whenever the WIM being operated on contains
389 an integrity table and the '--check' option is not specified.
391 `wimlib-imagex capture' now creates LZX-compressed WIMs by default
392 (when --compress is not specified). This provides the best compression
393 ratio by default, which is usually what is desired, at a cost of some
396 `wimlib-imagex' now supports being invoked as wimCOMMAND, where COMMAND
397 is the command as in `wimlib-imagex COMMAND'; for example, it can be
398 invoked as `wimapply' as an alternative to `wimlib-imagex apply'. The
399 appropriate hard links are created in UNIX installations of
400 `wimlib-imagex', while for the Windows distribution of `wimlib-imagex',
401 batch files that emulate this behavior are generated.
403 Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows.
405 Fixed archiving DOS names in NTFS-3g capture mode.
407 The extraction code has been rewritten and it will now be easier to
408 support new features on all supported backends (currently Win32, UNIX,
409 and NTFS-3g). For example, hard-linked extraction mode (--hardlink) is
410 now supported on all backends, not just UNIX.
412 `mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather
413 than the WAIK itself.
415 wimlib_global_init() now, by default, attempts to acquire additional
416 privileges on Windows, so library clients need not do this.
418 This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it is
419 not binary compatibible with previous releases.
422 Fixed bug in `wimlib-imagex export' that made it impossible to export an
423 image from a WIM that is readonly at the filesystem level.
425 Return error code rather than segfaulting when trying to list files from
426 a non-first part of a split WIM.
428 Joining a WIM will now preserve the RP_FIX and READONLY flags.
431 On Windows, paths given to wimlib-imagex are now treated case
434 Improved behavior regarding invalid filenames; in particular, on
435 Windows, wimlib-imagex will, when extracting, now omit (with an option
436 to override this default) filenames differing only in case, or filenames
437 containing characters not valid on Windows.
439 On Windows, wimlib now supports capturing and extracting long paths
440 (longer than the so-called MAX_PATH).
442 On Windows, `wimlib-imagex update' now acquires proper privileges when
443 running as an Administrator.
445 `wimlib-imagex update' will now complain if no image is specified when
446 trying to update a multi-image WIM.
448 `wimlib-imagex update' now supports specifying a single update command
449 directly on the command line using the --command option.
451 wimlib-imagex will now choose different units for progress messages,
452 depending on the amount of data that needs to be processed.
454 `wimlib-imagex append' will now generate a unique WIM image name if no
455 name is specified and the defaulted name already exists in the WIM.
457 wimlib now allows you to create unnamed WIM images, which can then only
458 be referred to by index.
460 wimlib now allows you to explicitly declare you want write access to a
461 WIM by providing the WIMLIB_OPEN_FLAG_WRITE_ACCESS flag to
464 wimlib now respects the WIM_HDR_FLAG_READONLY flag when set in the WIM
467 Progress callbacks have been added to wimlib's wimlib_update_image()
470 Added wimlib_get_wim_info(), wimlib_set_wim_info(),
471 wimlib_iterate_dir_tree(), and wimlib_iterate_lookup_table() functions
474 NTFS-3g capture now only warns about two conditions previously treated
477 Fixed a couple issues with using wimlib-imagex on UDF filesystems on
480 wimlib now correctly detects and returns an error when reading a WIM
481 image with a cyclic directory structure. (Fun fact: such a WIM will
482 crash Microsoft's software.)
485 Added new "extract" and "update" subcommands to wimlib-imagex, along
486 with associated APIs in the library. These commands are intended mainly
487 for Windows use but can be used on UNIX as well.
489 Many documentation improvements.
491 Fixed a bug in the Windows build where relative symbolic links were not
492 captured in reparse-point fixup mode.
494 Fixed a bug in the Windows build where file handles were left open to
495 the WIM file, causing `wimlib_imagex optimize' to fail in some cases.
497 Fixed a bug in the Windows build of wimlib-imagex where globbing
498 split-WIM parts could cause the program to crash.
500 Fixed a bug where the creation time of WIM images would be shown instead
501 of the last modification time.
503 With the Windows build it is now possible to restore a WIM containing
504 symbolic links as a non-Administrator; however you will receive warnings
505 about not being able to extract the symbolic links.
508 Capturing a WIM image should now be significantly faster in most cases
509 due to improved use of the operating system's cache and avoiding reading
510 files twice whenever possible.
512 The Windows build should now work on Windows XP.
514 The Windows build now supports capturing and restoring hidden,
515 compressed, sparse, and encrypted files.
517 The Windows build now supports capturing and applying WIM images from
518 filesystems other than NTFS (with some reduced functionality).
520 The Windows build now extracts short names correctly.
522 Added support for "reparse-point" fixups (i.e. fixing up of symbolic
523 links). See docs for --rpfix and --norpfix flags of `wimlib-imagex
524 capture' and `wimlib-imagex apply'.
526 The performance of splitting and joining WIMs should be slightly
529 The LZX and XPRESS compression and decompression functions are now
530 exported from the library.
533 Improvements and bugfixes for the Windows build.
535 Added --strict-acls options.
537 Fixed the way that wimlib determines the order of images in the WIM.
540 Since wimlib can now be used on Windows, wimlib's implementation of
541 ImageX has been renamed to wimlib-imagex to avoid confusion with
542 Microsoft's implementation of ImageX, which would have the same file
543 name ("imagex.exe"). If you really don't like this you can pass the
544 --with-imagex-progname option to `configure' to choose a different name,
545 or even simply rename the binary yourself (but the former way will
546 configure the man pages to use the chosen name).
548 Various bugs fixed in the Windows build. Mainly to do with capturing
549 and restoring alternate data streams correctly in weird cases, and
550 requesting the correct privileges when opening files. Also added the
551 --noacls options to wimlib-imagex capture, append, and apply.
553 Windows build again: FindFirstStreamW() and FindNextStreamW() are now
554 dynamically loaded, so this may make the library compatible with Windows
555 XP (however, there may still be other problems).
558 Added experimental support for native Windows builds. Binaries can be
559 downloaded from the SourceForge page.
561 --source-list option added to `imagex capture' and `imagex append'.
563 Better support for different character encodings.
566 Storing UNIX file owners, groups, and modes in WIM images is now
567 possible using `imagex capture' with the --unix-data flag.
569 Minor bug fixes and documentation fixes.
572 NTFS capture: Fixed capturing duplicate reparse points.
574 NTFS capture: Capture first unnamed stream if there are more than one
575 (print warning instead of error).
577 Allow multiple test cases to execute concurrently (e.g. make -j2 check).
580 Added --arch switch to mkwinpeimg script to support getting AMD64 WinPE
583 Update to work with ntfs-3g version 2013.1.13.
586 Fixed truncating file to shorter but non-zero length on read-write
589 Various code cleanups and minor documentation fixes.
592 LZX and XPRESS decompression have received some additional optimizations
593 and should now be even faster. (Although, they were already pretty
594 fast--- much faster than typical I/O speeds.)
596 Fixed a bug introduced in v1.2.1 that would cause a directory tree
597 containing hard links to be captured incorrectly in some cases.
600 By default, unmounting a read-write mounted WIM with 'imagex unmount
601 --commit' will now change the WIM in-place without needing to write the
602 entire WIM again. Use 'imagex unmount --commit --rebuild' to get the
605 'imagex unmount' no longer has a hard-coded limit of 10 minutes to wait
606 for a response from the daemon servicing the mounted WIM. Instead,
607 every second 'imagex unmount' will check if the daemon is still alive,
608 and keep waiting if so, otherwise terminate with an error.
610 'imagex unmount --commit' on a read-write mounted WIM will now print
611 progress information regarding the writing of new or modified streams
612 the WIM, just like when capturing or appending a WIM.
614 A small change has been made to XPRESS compression and it should improve
615 the compression ratio slightly.
617 A change was made that may improve performance slightly when applying a
618 WIM image to a NTFS volume.
620 Microsoft has managed to introduce even more bugs into their software,
621 and now the WIMs for Windows 8 have incorrect (too low) reference counts
622 for some streams. This is unsafe because such streams can be removed
623 when they are in actuality still referenced in the WIM (perhaps by a
624 different image). wimlib will now work around this problem by fixing
625 the stream reference counts. This is only done when wimlib_delete_image() is
626 called ('imagex delete') or when wimlib_mount_image() is called with
627 WIMLIB_MOUNT_FLAG_READWRITE ('imagex mountrw'). Please note that this
628 requires reading the metadata for all images in the WIM, so this will
629 make these operations noticably slower on WIMs with multiple images.
631 Various other bugfixes.
634 Appending images to a WIM is now be done by default without re-building
635 the whole WIM. Use the --rebuild flag to get the old behavior (which
636 was to re-build the entire WIM when a new image is appended).
638 A new command `imagex optimize' is now available to manually re-build a
639 WIM that has wasted space due to repeated appends.
641 Progress information has been improved, and now arbitrary callback
642 functions can be used to show the progress of a WIM operation.
644 A possible bug with changing the bootable image of a WIM was fixed.
646 Some advisory locking is now done to prevent two processes from
647 modifying a WIM at the same time (but only in some cases). For example,
648 you cannot mount two images from a WIM read-write at the same time.
650 Some functions have been reorganized:
651 * wimlib_mount() renamed to wimlib_mount_image().
652 * wimlib_unmount() renamed to wimlib_unmount_image().
653 * wimlib_overwrite_xml_and_header() removed as

660 Previously, the soname of libwim.so has been 0.0.0, despite many
661 interface changes. The soname is now updated to 1.0.0 and will now be
662 updated each release.
665 Resources will now be compressed using multiple threads by default.
666 (This applies to `imagex capture', `imagex append', and `imagex
669 Some performance improvements in mounted WIMs.
671 More progress information is shown when capturing a WIM.
674 Lots of minor fixes, code cleanups, and some documentation updates.
675 Nothing in particular is really noteworthy.
678 LZX and XPRESS compression improvements.
680 Fixed calculation of Directory Count, File Count, Total Bytes, and Hard
681 Link Bytes of the WIM.
684 Fixed bug when capturing NTFS file with multiple named data streams.
686 Internally, we are now using inode structures, even though these don't
687 appear literally in the WIM file. This simplifies some of the code
688 (mainly for WIM mounting) and likely fixed a few problems, although it
692 Fixed problem when exporting images from XPRESS to LZX compressed WIM or
696 Enough changes to call it version 1.0.0!
698 Capturing a WIM directly from a NTFS volume, and applying a WIM directly
699 to a NTFS volume, is now supported.
701 Hard links and symbolic links have much improved support. They are
702 supported for WIM capture, WIM application, and mounted WIMs (you can
703 even make them on read-write mounted WIMs).
705 Alternate data streams are now supported on mounted WIMs through an
706 xattr or a Windows-style stream interface. Also they are supported when
707 capturing a WIM from NTFS or applying a WIM to NTFS.
709 Split WIMs are better supported. You may now apply an image directly
710 from a split WIM, mount an image from a split WIM read-only, or export
711 an image from a split WIM.
713 Using a capture configuration file is now supported (but not fully yet).
715 SHA1 message digests are checked in more places, so we can make sure
716 applied and captured data is correct.
718 Man pages have been updated and consolidated.
721 Fixed segfault when unmounting read-only WIM.
724 Support for joining and splitting WIMs.
725 Also, security data is now preserved by default.
728 Can now build with older gcc and system headers, like on CentOS 5.
731 Fixed bug that made it impossible to overwrite files in read-write
735 Write byte-order mark before WIM XML data. (imagex.exe requires this to
