2 The Windows binary distribution no longer contain third party DLLs.
3 These dependencies are instead compiled directly into libwim.dll.
5 Added more fixes for wimlib on non-x86 architectures such as ARM.
7 Extracting files to a Windows PE in-memory filesystem no longer fails if
8 the target files do not yet exist.
10 Improved the performance of XPRESS compression and LZMS decompression.
12 Removed the --with-imagex-progname and --enable-more-assertions
16 Fix for very slow export from solid WIM / ESD files.
18 Fix for LZX and LZMS algorithms on non-x86 architectures, such as ARM.
20 New progress message: WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_HANDLE_ERROR. Applications
21 may use this to treat some types of errors as non-fatal.
23 The library now permits making in-memory changes to a WIMStruct backed
24 by a read-only WIM file.
26 Fixes for "WIMBoot" extraction mode (Windows only):
28 When not using the WOF driver, extraction no longer fails if the
29 disk containing the WIM file has too many partitions.
31 When matching patterns in [PrepopulateList], all hard links of
32 each file are now considered.
34 The system registry files are now automatically treated as being
37 Added a hack to try to work around an intermittent bug in
38 Microsoft's WOF (Windows Overlay Filesystem) driver.
41 Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
43 A number of improvements to the Windows port:
45 Fixes for setting short filenames.
47 Faster "WIMBoot" extraction.
49 Updated and slimmed down the dependent DLLs.
51 ACL inheritence bits are now restored.
53 Mandatory integrity labels are now backed up and restored.
55 Added a workaround for an issue where in rare cases, wimlib could create
56 a compressed data stream that could not be read correctly by Windows
57 after an extraction in "WIMBoot" mode.
60 Added file count progress data for
61 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE and
62 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
64 Added support for testing file exclusions via the user-provided
67 Some documentation improvements.
69 Made some clarifications to the license text in the COPYING file.
72 Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
74 The default compression mode for wimcapture is now LZX compression in
75 its default mode, which is the same as '--compress=maximum'.
77 You can now specify an optional integer compression level to the
78 '--compress' option; e.g. '--compress=lzx:75'.
80 Made a minor change to the LZMS compressor and decompressor to fix an
81 incompatibility with the Microsoft implementation. In the unlikely
82 event that you created an LZMS-compressed WIM with wimlib v1.7.0 or
83 earlier and a checksum error is reported when extracting files from it
84 with wimlib v1.7.1, decompress it with v1.7.0 then compress it with
87 Added 'verify' subcommand to wimlib-imagex.
89 Notable library changes:
91 Custom compressor parameters have been removed from the library
92 in favor of the simpler level-based API.
94 Decompressor parameters have been removed entirely.
96 Library users can now specify a custom file for warning and
97 error messages to be sent to, rather than the default of
100 New progress messages:
101 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE,
102 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
104 New function: wimlib_verify_wim().
107 Improved compression, decompression, and extraction performance.
109 Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files:
110 - Add support for reading and writing multiple solid blocks per
111 archive, which WIMGAPI/DISM can create when appending an image.
112 - Correctly create solid blocks larger than 4 GiB.
114 'add' commands passed to wimupdate will now replace existing
115 nondirectory files by default. Use the --no-replace option to get the
118 The license for the library now contains an exception that allows using
119 it under the LGPL. See the COPYING file for details.
121 In reparse-point fixup mode (the default for capture), symbolic links
122 and junctions that point outside the tree being captured are no longer
123 excluded from capture.
125 Added support for "WIMBoot" capture and extraction. See the
126 documentation for the new '--wimboot' option to wimcapture and wimapply
127 for more information.
129 On UNIX-like systems, you can now backup and restore device nodes, named
130 pipes, and sockets. In addition, 32-bit user and group IDs are now
133 The way that UNIX data is stored in WIM files has been changed. If you
134 captured any WIMs with the --unix-data option, to upgrade them you'll
135 need to apply them with --unix-data using wimlib-imagex v1.6.2, then
136 re-capture them with --unix-data using this version.
138 wimlib now understands tagged metadata items, such as object IDs, that
139 can be stored in WIM directory entries.
141 Removed the --hardlink and --symlink options to wimapply, since I don't
142 think they are too useful and they got in the way of improving the code.
144 WIMs will now retain their GUIDs when rebuilt (e.g. with wimoptimize).
146 The 'mkwinpeimg' script now supports writing the ISO image to standard
149 The <ARCH> element in WIM XML data is now exported correctly.
151 On Windows, sparse file attributes are no longer set on extracted files.
152 Oddly enough, this actually saves disk space in some cases.
154 On UNIX, configuring with --disable-xattr or --enable-xattr is no longer
155 supported. Mounting WIM images now always requires extended attribute
156 support. Use --without-fuse to disable support for mounting WIM images;
157 this will also disable the need for extended attribute support.
159 Configuring with --enable-ssse3-sha1 now works correctly.
161 The shared library version has been bumped up. The main
162 incompatibilities are:
164 - WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_XPRESS is now 1 and
165 WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_LZX is now 2 (so it's the same as
168 - User-provided progress functions are now registered using a
169 separate function, wimlib_register_progress_function(). The
170 'progress_func' argument to many functions no longer exists.
172 - The return value from user-provided progress functions is now
175 - A context argument has been added to the prototype of
176 user-provided progress functions.
178 - 'struct wimlib_capture_config' has been removed. The library
179 now takes the path to the configuration file directly. This
180 affects wimlib_add_image(), wimlib_add_image_multisource(),
181 and wimlib_update_image(). However, a NULL value passed in
182 the argument retains the same meaning.
184 - Removed deprecated functions: some (de)compression functions,
185 wimlib_extract_files(), and wimlib_print_metadata().
187 - Removed extraction flags: WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_HARDLINK,
188 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SYMLINK, WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER,
189 and WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL.
191 - Removed some progress messages:
192 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_APPLY_TIMESTAMPS,
193 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_BEGIN,
194 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_END. Numbering
197 - Removed some error codes. Numbering stays the same.
199 - Replaced WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_LAZY with
200 WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_FORCE.
202 - WIM paths passed to progress functions now have a leading
206 Case-insensitive comparisons of strings (e.g. filenames) containing
207 UTF-16 codepoints above 32767 are now done correctly.
209 Fixed build failure on Mac OS X.
211 wimunmount now provides the '--new-image' option to cause changes to a
212 read-write mounted image to be committed as a new image rather than as
213 an update of the mounted image. (The corresponding new library flag is
214 WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_NEW_IMAGE.)
216 The LZMS ("recovery") compression chunk size, or "dictionary size", may
217 now be up to 1 GiB (1,073,741,824 bytes).
219 The performance of LZX ("maximum") and LZMS ("recovery") compression
220 with large chunk sizes has been slightly improved.
223 Stored files with size exactly 4 GiB (4,294,967,296 bytes) are now
224 decompressed correctly.
226 Fixed a bug in the LZX compressor introduced in v1.5.3. The bug
227 occurred in an unlikely case, and due to validity checks it did not
228 affect successfully created archives.
230 Fixed a minor compatibility issue with the LZMS compressor and
231 decompressor. This is *not* the default compression type and was only
232 introduced in v1.6.0. In the unlikely event that you created an
233 LZMS-compressed WIM with v1.6.0 and a checksum error is reported when
234 applying it with v1.6.1, decompress it with v1.6.0 then compress it with
237 Memory usage for LZMS and LZX compression has been decreased.
239 wimextract now allows wildcard characters in paths specified on the
240 command line. Also, the '--strict-wildcards' option has been removed
241 and replaced with the inverse option '--nullglob'. See the
242 documentation for wimextract for more details and changes.
244 The wimlib_extract_files() function is now considered deprecated in
245 favor of wimlib_extract_paths().
247 Fixed more permissions problems when extracting files on Windows.
249 A new '--no-attributes' option has been added to wimapply and
250 wimextract. The library flag is WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_NO_ATTRIBUTES.
252 The default chunk size is now set correctly when changing the
253 compression type of a WIM, for example with 'wimoptimize'.
255 The '--metadata' option to wiminfo has been replaced with the
256 '--detailed' option to wimdir.
258 In relevant wimlib-imagex commands, '--solid' may now be used as an
259 alias for '--pack-streams'.
262 Support for extracting and updating the new version 3584 WIMs has been
263 added. These WIMs typically pack many streams ("files") together into a
264 single compressed resource, thereby saving space. This degrades the
265 performance of random access (such as that which occurs on a mounted
266 image), but optimizations have been implemented for extraction. These
267 new WIM files also typically use a new compression format (LZMS), which
268 is similar to LZMA and can offer a better compression ratio than LZX.
269 These new WIM files can be created using `wimcapture' with
270 the '--compress=lzms --pack-streams' options. Note: this new WIM format
271 is used by the Windows 8 web downloader, but important segments of the
272 raw '.esd' files are encrypted, so wimlib will not be able to extract
273 such files until they are first decrypted.
275 wimlib now supports extracting files and directories from a WIM image
276 based on a "listfile" that itself contains the list of paths to extract.
277 For `wimextract', the syntax is to specify @LISTFILE instead of a PATH,
278 and for the library itself, the new APIs are wimlib_extract_pathlist()
279 and wimlib_extract_paths(). Path globs containing wildcard characters
282 For searching WIM files, wimlib now has configurable case sensitivity.
283 The default on Windows is still case-insensitive and the default on
284 UNIX-like systems is still case-sensitive, but this can be overridden
285 on either platform through flags to wimlib_global_init(). For
286 `wimlib-imagex', the environmental variable WIMLIB_IMAGEX_IGNORE_CASE
287 can be set to 1 or 0 for case-insensitive or case-sensitive behavior,
290 Support for compression chunk sizes greater than the default of 32768
291 bytes has been added. A larger chunk size typically results in a better
292 compression ratio. However, the MS implementation is seemingly not
293 compatible with all chunk sizes, especially for LZX compression, so the
294 defaults remain unchanged, with the exception of the new LZMS-compressed
295 WIMs, which use a larger chunk size by default.
297 The compression/decompression API exported by wimlib has been changed.
298 Now one set of functions handles all supported compression formats.
300 `wimcapture' and `wimappend' will now display the progress of scanning
301 the directory tree to capture, in addition to the progress of writing
302 data to the WIM. The '--verbose' option no longer does anything. The
303 library API change for this is the addition of several members to
304 `struct wimlib_progress_info_scan' available to progress callbacks.
306 `mkwinpeimg' now correctly handles the '--start-script' option when the
307 start script is not in the working directory.
309 Sequential extraction, previously requested by using
310 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL, is now the default.
311 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER can be used to get the old default
312 behavior (extract in file order).
315 The new LZX compressor added in v1.5.2 has been improved and is now
316 enabled by default, except when `wimcapture' or `wimappend' is run
317 *without* the '--compress' option, in which case the faster LZX
318 compressor is used (the same as before). This behavior is reasonably
319 consistent with ImageX which actually uses "fast" (XPRESS) compression
320 by default. In those cases, use '--compress=maximum' to explicitly
321 capture a WIM image using the new (slower but better) LZX compressor.
323 The '--compress-slow' option still exists to `wimlib-imagex optimize',
324 but its new behavior is to tweak the new LZX compressor even more to
325 produce an even better compression ratio at the cost of more time spent
328 `wimlib-imagex optimize' now supports the '--compress=TYPE' option,
329 which recompresses the WIM file using the specified compression TYPE.
330 The new library API function used for this is
331 wimlib_set_output_compression_type().
333 Added the wimlib_get_xml_data() function to allow library clients to
334 easily retrieve the raw XML data from a WIM file if needed.
336 Fixed a bug that could cause an error code to be incorrectly returned
337 when writing XML data containing a <WINDOWS> element.
339 Mounted WIM images will now correctly show the default file stream even
340 if appears in the alternate data stream entries of the corresponding WIM
344 Added a new experimental LZX compressor which can be enabled by passing
345 '--compress-slow' to `wimlib-imagex capture' or `wimlib-imagex
346 optimize'. (The latter is only applicable if the WIM is already
347 LZX-compressed and the '--recompress' option is also given.) The
348 experimental compressor is much slower but compresses the data slightly
349 more --- currently usually to within a fraction of a percent of the
350 results from WIMGAPI/ImageX.
352 A workaround has been added for compatibility with versions of WinPE
353 that interpret alternate data stream entries in the boot WIM
356 An alignment bug that caused a crash in the LZX decompressor on some
359 wimlib now attempts to clear the WIM_HDR_FLAG_WRITE_IN_PROGRESS flag in
360 the WIM header when restoring the previous state of a WIM it failed to
363 Added a workaround to avoid an access denied error on Windows when
364 replacing a WIM file that another process has opened.
367 wimlib can now open WinPE WIMs from WAIK v2.1, which had a quirk that
368 needed to be handled.
370 A bug in the interpretation of negative IMAGE indices in the
371 --update-of=[WIMFILE:]IMAGE option to `wimlib-imagex capture' and
372 `wimlib-imagex append' has been fixed.
374 A workaround has been added to successfully apply security descriptors
375 with empty DACLs when the NTFS-3g apply mode is being used with NTFS-3g
376 2013.1.13 or earlier.
378 `wimlib-imagex capture' can now accept the '--delta-from' option
382 Added support for "pipable" WIMs. Pipable WIMs allow capturing images
383 to standard output and applying images from standard input, but they are
384 not compatible with Microsoft's software and are not created by default.
385 See the documentation for --pipable flag of `wimlib-imagex capture' for
388 To better support incremental backups, added support for declaring an
389 image as a modified form of another image. See the documentation for
390 the '--update-of' option of `wimlib-imagex append' and `wimlib-imagex
393 Added supported for "delta" WIMs. See the documentation for the
394 '--delta-from' option of `wimlib-imagex capture'.
396 The library support for managing split WIMs has been changed to support
397 other arrangements, such as delta WIMs, and be easier to use. This
398 change is visible in `wimlib-imagex', which also can now accept the
399 '--ref' option multiple times, and also now supports "delta" WIMs as
402 wimlib now preserves WIM integrity tables by default, even if
403 WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not specified. This changes the
404 behavior of `wimlib-imagex' whenever the WIM being operated on contains
405 an integrity table and the '--check' option is not specified.
407 `wimlib-imagex capture' now creates LZX-compressed WIMs by default
408 (when --compress is not specified). This provides the best compression
409 ratio by default, which is usually what is desired, at a cost of some
412 `wimlib-imagex' now supports being invoked as wimCOMMAND, where COMMAND
413 is the command as in `wimlib-imagex COMMAND'; for example, it can be
414 invoked as `wimapply' as an alternative to `wimlib-imagex apply'. The
415 appropriate hard links are created in UNIX installations of
416 `wimlib-imagex', while for the Windows distribution of `wimlib-imagex',
417 batch files that emulate this behavior are generated.
419 Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows.
421 Fixed archiving DOS names in NTFS-3g capture mode.
423 The extraction code has been rewritten and it will now be easier to
424 support new features on all supported backends (currently Win32, UNIX,
425 and NTFS-3g). For example, hard-linked extraction mode (--hardlink) is
426 now supported on all backends, not just UNIX.
428 `mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather
429 than the WAIK itself.
431 wimlib_global_init() now, by default, attempts to acquire additional
432 privileges on Windows, so library clients need not do this.
434 This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it is
435 not binary compatibible with previous releases.
438 Fixed bug in `wimlib-imagex export' that made it impossible to export an
439 image from a WIM that is readonly at the filesystem level.
441 Return error code rather than segfaulting when trying to list files from
442 a non-first part of a split WIM.
444 Joining a WIM will now preserve the RP_FIX and READONLY flags.
447 On Windows, paths given to wimlib-imagex are now treated case
450 Improved behavior regarding invalid filenames; in particular, on
451 Windows, wimlib-imagex will, when extracting, now omit (with an option
452 to override this default) filenames differing only in case, or filenames
453 containing characters not valid on Windows.
455 On Windows, wimlib now supports capturing and extracting long paths
456 (longer than the so-called MAX_PATH).
458 On Windows, `wimlib-imagex update' now acquires proper privileges when
459 running as an Administrator.
461 `wimlib-imagex update' will now complain if no image is specified when
462 trying to update a multi-image WIM.
464 `wimlib-imagex update' now supports specifying a single update command
465 directly on the command line using the --command option.
467 wimlib-imagex will now choose different units for progress messages,
468 depending on the amount of data that needs to be processed.
470 `wimlib-imagex append' will now generate a unique WIM image name if no
471 name is specified and the defaulted name already exists in the WIM.
473 wimlib now allows you to create unnamed WIM images, which can then only
474 be referred to by index.
476 wimlib now allows you to explicitly declare you want write access to a
477 WIM by providing the WIMLIB_OPEN_FLAG_WRITE_ACCESS flag to
480 wimlib now respects the WIM_HDR_FLAG_READONLY flag when set in the WIM
483 Progress callbacks have been added to wimlib's wimlib_update_image()
486 Added wimlib_get_wim_info(), wimlib_set_wim_info(),
487 wimlib_iterate_dir_tree(), and wimlib_iterate_lookup_table() functions
490 NTFS-3g capture now only warns about two conditions previously treated
493 Fixed a couple issues with using wimlib-imagex on UDF filesystems on
496 wimlib now correctly detects and returns an error when reading a WIM
497 image with a cyclic directory structure. (Fun fact: such a WIM will
498 crash Microsoft's software.)
501 Added new "extract" and "update" subcommands to wimlib-imagex, along
502 with associated APIs in the library. These commands are intended mainly
503 for Windows use but can be used on UNIX as well.
505 Many documentation improvements.
507 Fixed a bug in the Windows build where relative symbolic links were not
508 captured in reparse-point fixup mode.
510 Fixed a bug in the Windows build where file handles were left open to
511 the WIM file, causing `wimlib_imagex optimize' to fail in some cases.
513 Fixed a bug in the Windows build of wimlib-imagex where globbing
514 split-WIM parts could cause the program to crash.
516 Fixed a bug where the creation time of WIM images would be shown instead
517 of the last modification time.
519 With the Windows build it is now possible to restore a WIM containing
520 symbolic links as a non-Administrator; however you will receive warnings
521 about not being able to extract the symbolic links.
524 Capturing a WIM image should now be significantly faster in most cases
525 due to improved use of the operating system's cache and avoiding reading
526 files twice whenever possible.
528 The Windows build should now work on Windows XP.
530 The Windows build now supports capturing and restoring hidden,
531 compressed, sparse, and encrypted files.
533 The Windows build now supports capturing and applying WIM images from
534 filesystems other than NTFS (with some reduced functionality).
536 The Windows build now extracts short names correctly.
538 Added support for "reparse-point" fixups (i.e. fixing up of symbolic
539 links). See docs for --rpfix and --norpfix flags of `wimlib-imagex
540 capture' and `wimlib-imagex apply'.
542 The performance of splitting and joining WIMs should be slightly
545 The LZX and XPRESS compression and decompression functions are now
546 exported from the library.
549 Improvements and bugfixes for the Windows build.
551 Added --strict-acls options.
553 Fixed the way that wimlib determines the order of images in the WIM.
556 Since wimlib can now be used on Windows, wimlib's implementation of
557 ImageX has been renamed to wimlib-imagex to avoid confusion with
558 Microsoft's implementation of ImageX, which would have the same file
559 name ("imagex.exe"). If you really don't like this you can pass the
560 --with-imagex-progname option to `configure' to choose a different name,
561 or even simply rename the binary yourself (but the former way will
562 configure the man pages to use the chosen name).
564 Various bugs fixed in the Windows build. Mainly to do with capturing
565 and restoring alternate data streams correctly in weird cases, and
566 requesting the correct privileges when opening files. Also added the
567 --noacls options to wimlib-imagex capture, append, and apply.
569 Windows build again: FindFirstStreamW() and FindNextStreamW() are now
570 dynamically loaded, so this may make the library compatible with Windows
571 XP (however, there may still be other problems).
574 Added experimental support for native Windows builds. Binaries can be
575 downloaded from the SourceForge page.
577 --source-list option added to `imagex capture' and `imagex append'.
579 Better support for different character encodings.
582 Storing UNIX file owners, groups, and modes in WIM images is now
583 possible using `imagex capture' with the --unix-data flag.
585 Minor bug fixes and documentation fixes.
588 NTFS capture: Fixed capturing duplicate reparse points.
590 NTFS capture: Capture first unnamed stream if there are more than one
591 (print warning instead of error).
593 Allow multiple test cases to execute concurrently (e.g. make -j2 check).
596 Added --arch switch to mkwinpeimg script to support getting AMD64 WinPE
599 Update to work with ntfs-3g version 2013.1.13.
602 Fixed truncating file to shorter but non-zero length on read-write
605 Various code cleanups and minor documentation fixes.
608 LZX and XPRESS decompression have received some additional optimizations
609 and should now be even faster. (Although, they were already pretty
610 fast--- much faster than typical I/O speeds.)
612 Fixed a bug introduced in v1.2.1 that would cause a directory tree
613 containing hard links to be captured incorrectly in some cases.
616 By default, unmounting a read-write mounted WIM with 'imagex unmount
617 --commit' will now change the WIM in-place without needing to write the
618 entire WIM again. Use 'imagex unmount --commit --rebuild' to get the
621 'imagex unmount' no longer has a hard-coded limit of 10 minutes to wait
622 for a response from the daemon servicing the mounted WIM. Instead,
623 every second 'imagex unmount' will check if the daemon is still alive,
624 and keep waiting if so, otherwise terminate with an error.
626 'imagex unmount --commit' on a read-write mounted WIM will now print
627 progress information regarding the writing of new or modified streams
628 the WIM, just like when capturing or appending a WIM.
630 A small change has been made to XPRESS compression and it should improve
631 the compression ratio slightly.
633 A change was made that may improve performance slightly when applying a
634 WIM image to a NTFS volume.
636 Microsoft has managed to introduce even more bugs into their software,
637 and now the WIMs for Windows 8 have incorrect (too low) reference counts
638 for some streams. This is unsafe because such streams can be removed
639 when they are in actuality still referenced in the WIM (perhaps by a
640 different image). wimlib will now work around this problem by fixing
641 the stream reference counts. This is only done when wimlib_delete_image() is
642 called ('imagex delete') or when wimlib_mount_image() is called with
643 WIMLIB_MOUNT_FLAG_READWRITE ('imagex mountrw'). Please note that this
644 requires reading the metadata for all images in the WIM, so this will
645 make these operations noticably slower on WIMs with multiple images.
647 Various other bugfixes.
650 Appending images to a WIM is now be done by default without re-building
651 the whole WIM. Use the --rebuild flag to get the old behavior (which
652 was to re-build the entire WIM when a new image is appended).
654 A new command `imagex optimize' is now available to manually re-build a
655 WIM that has wasted space due to repeated appends.
657 Progress information has been improved, and now arbitrary callback
658 functions can be used to show the progress of a WIM operation.
660 A possible bug with changing the bootable image of a WIM was fixed.
662 Some advisory locking is now done to prevent two processes from
663 modifying a WIM at the same time (but only in some cases). For example,
664 you cannot mount two images from a WIM read-write at the same time.
666 Some functions have been reorganized:
667 * wimlib_mount() renamed to wimlib_mount_image().
668 * wimlib_unmount() renamed to wimlib_unmount_image().
669 * wimlib_overwrite_xml_and_header() removed as
670 wimlib_overwrite() suffices now.
671 * wimlib_apply_image_to_ntfs_volume() removed as
672 wimlib_extract_image() suffices now.
673 * wimlib_add_image_from_ntfs_volume() removed as
674 * wimlib_add_image() suffices now.
676 Previously, the soname of libwim.so has been 0.0.0, despite many
677 interface changes. The soname is now updated to 1.0.0 and will now be
678 updated each release.
681 Resources will now be compressed using multiple threads by default.
682 (This applies to `imagex capture', `imagex append', and `imagex
685 Some performance improvements in mounted WIMs.
687 More progress information is shown when capturing a WIM.
690 Lots of minor fixes, code cleanups, and some documentation updates.
691 Nothing in particular is really noteworthy.
694 LZX and XPRESS compression improvements.
696 Fixed calculation of Directory Count, File Count, Total Bytes, and Hard
697 Link Bytes of the WIM.
700 Fixed bug when capturing NTFS file with multiple named data streams.
702 Internally, we are now using inode structures, even though these don't
703 appear literally in the WIM file. This simplifies some of the code
704 (mainly for WIM mounting) and likely fixed a few problems, although it
708 Fixed problem when exporting images from XPRESS to LZX compressed WIM or
712 Enough changes to call it version 1.0.0!
714 Capturing a WIM directly from a NTFS volume, and applying a WIM directly
715 to a NTFS volume, is now supported.
717 Hard links and symbolic links have much improved support. They are
718 supported for WIM capture, WIM application, and mounted WIMs (you can
719 even make them on read-write mounted WIMs).
721 Alternate data streams are now supported on mounted WIMs through an
722 xattr or a Windows-style stream interface. Also they are supported when
723 capturing a WIM from NTFS or applying a WIM to NTFS.
725 Split WIMs are better supported. You may now apply an image directly
726 from a split WIM, mount an image from a split WIM read-only, or export
727 an image from a split WIM.
729 Using a capture configuration file is now supported (but not fully yet).
731 SHA1 message digests are checked in more places, so we can make sure
732 applied and captured data is correct.
734 Man pages have been updated and consolidated.
737 Fixed segfault when unmounting read-only WIM.
740 Support for joining and splitting WIMs.
741 Also, security data is now preserved by default.
744 Can now build with older gcc and system headers, like on CentOS 5.
747 Fixed bug that made it impossible to overwrite files in read-write
751 Write byte-order mark before WIM XML data. (imagex.exe requires this to
