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 Made more improvements to compression and decompression. Most notable
11 is about 10% faster XPRESS compression with a tiny improvement in
14 Removed the --with-imagex-progname and --enable-more-assertions
18 Fix for very slow export from solid WIM / ESD files.
20 Fix for LZX and LZMS algorithms on non-x86 architectures, such as ARM.
22 New progress message: WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_HANDLE_ERROR. Applications
23 may use this to treat some types of errors as non-fatal.
25 The library now permits making in-memory changes to a WIMStruct backed
26 by a read-only WIM file.
28 Fixes for "WIMBoot" extraction mode (Windows only):
30 When not using the WOF driver, extraction no longer fails if the
31 disk containing the WIM file has too many partitions.
33 When matching patterns in [PrepopulateList], all hard links of
34 each file are now considered.
36 The system registry files are now automatically treated as being
39 Added a hack to try to work around an intermittent bug in
40 Microsoft's WOF (Windows Overlay Filesystem) driver.
43 Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
45 A number of improvements to the Windows port:
47 Fixes for setting short filenames.
49 Faster "WIMBoot" extraction.
51 Updated and slimmed down the dependent DLLs.
53 ACL inheritence bits are now restored.
55 Mandatory integrity labels are now backed up and restored.
57 Added a workaround for an issue where in rare cases, wimlib could create
58 a compressed data stream that could not be read correctly by Windows
59 after an extraction in "WIMBoot" mode.
62 Added file count progress data for
63 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE and
64 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
66 Added support for testing file exclusions via the user-provided
69 Some documentation improvements.
71 Made some clarifications to the license text in the COPYING file.
74 Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
76 The default compression mode for wimcapture is now LZX compression in
77 its default mode, which is the same as '--compress=maximum'.
79 You can now specify an optional integer compression level to the
80 '--compress' option; e.g. '--compress=lzx:75'.
82 Made a minor change to the LZMS compressor and decompressor to fix an
83 incompatibility with the Microsoft implementation. In the unlikely
84 event that you created an LZMS-compressed WIM with wimlib v1.7.0 or
85 earlier and a checksum error is reported when extracting files from it
86 with wimlib v1.7.1, decompress it with v1.7.0 then compress it with
89 Added 'verify' subcommand to wimlib-imagex.
91 Notable library changes:
93 Custom compressor parameters have been removed from the library
94 in favor of the simpler level-based API.
96 Decompressor parameters have been removed entirely.
98 Library users can now specify a custom file for warning and
99 error messages to be sent to, rather than the default of
102 New progress messages:
103 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE,
104 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
106 New function: wimlib_verify_wim().
109 Improved compression, decompression, and extraction performance.
111 Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files:
112 - Add support for reading and writing multiple solid blocks per
113 archive, which WIMGAPI/DISM can create when appending an image.
114 - Correctly create solid blocks larger than 4 GiB.
116 'add' commands passed to wimupdate will now replace existing
117 nondirectory files by default. Use the --no-replace option to get the
120 The license for the library now contains an exception that allows using
121 it under the LGPL. See the COPYING file for details.
123 In reparse-point fixup mode (the default for capture), symbolic links
124 and junctions that point outside the tree being captured are no longer
125 excluded from capture.
127 Added support for "WIMBoot" capture and extraction. See the
128 documentation for the new '--wimboot' option to wimcapture and wimapply
129 for more information.
131 On UNIX-like systems, you can now backup and restore device nodes, named
132 pipes, and sockets. In addition, 32-bit user and group IDs are now
135 The way that UNIX data is stored in WIM files has been changed. If you
136 captured any WIMs with the --unix-data option, to upgrade them you'll
137 need to apply them with --unix-data using wimlib-imagex v1.6.2, then
138 re-capture them with --unix-data using this version.
140 wimlib now understands tagged metadata items, such as object IDs, that
141 can be stored in WIM directory entries.
143 Removed the --hardlink and --symlink options to wimapply, since I don't
144 think they are too useful and they got in the way of improving the code.
146 WIMs will now retain their GUIDs when rebuilt (e.g. with wimoptimize).
148 The 'mkwinpeimg' script now supports writing the ISO image to standard
151 The <ARCH> element in WIM XML data is now exported correctly.
153 On Windows, sparse file attributes are no longer set on extracted files.
154 Oddly enough, this actually saves disk space in some cases.
156 On UNIX, configuring with --disable-xattr or --enable-xattr is no longer
157 supported. Mounting WIM images now always requires extended attribute
158 support. Use --without-fuse to disable support for mounting WIM images;
159 this will also disable the need for extended attribute support.
161 Configuring with --enable-ssse3-sha1 now works correctly.
163 The shared library version has been bumped up. The main
164 incompatibilities are:
166 - WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_XPRESS is now 1 and
167 WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_LZX is now 2 (so it's the same as
170 - User-provided progress functions are now registered using a
171 separate function, wimlib_register_progress_function(). The
172 'progress_func' argument to many functions no longer exists.
174 - The return value from user-provided progress functions is now
177 - A context argument has been added to the prototype of
178 user-provided progress functions.
180 - 'struct wimlib_capture_config' has been removed. The library
181 now takes the path to the configuration file directly. This
182 affects wimlib_add_image(), wimlib_add_image_multisource(),
183 and wimlib_update_image(). However, a NULL value passed in
184 the argument retains the same meaning.
186 - Removed deprecated functions: some (de)compression functions,
187 wimlib_extract_files(), and wimlib_print_metadata().
189 - Removed extraction flags: WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_HARDLINK,
190 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SYMLINK, WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER,
191 and WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL.
193 - Removed some progress messages:
194 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_APPLY_TIMESTAMPS,
195 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_BEGIN,
196 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_END. Numbering
199 - Removed some error codes. Numbering stays the same.
201 - Replaced WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_LAZY with
202 WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_FORCE.
204 - WIM paths passed to progress functions now have a leading
208 Case-insensitive comparisons of strings (e.g. filenames) containing
209 UTF-16 codepoints above 32767 are now done correctly.
211 Fixed build failure on Mac OS X.
213 wimunmount now provides the '--new-image' option to cause changes to a
214 read-write mounted image to be committed as a new image rather than as
215 an update of the mounted image. (The corresponding new library flag is
216 WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_NEW_IMAGE.)
218 The LZMS ("recovery") compression chunk size, or "dictionary size", may
219 now be up to 1 GiB (1,073,741,824 bytes).
221 The performance of LZX ("maximum") and LZMS ("recovery") compression
222 with large chunk sizes has been slightly improved.
225 Stored files with size exactly 4 GiB (4,294,967,296 bytes) are now
226 decompressed correctly.
228 Fixed a bug in the LZX compressor introduced in v1.5.3. The bug
229 occurred in an unlikely case, and due to validity checks it did not
230 affect successfully created archives.
232 Fixed a minor compatibility issue with the LZMS compressor and
233 decompressor. This is *not* the default compression type and was only
234 introduced in v1.6.0. In the unlikely event that you created an
235 LZMS-compressed WIM with v1.6.0 and a checksum error is reported when
236 applying it with v1.6.1, decompress it with v1.6.0 then compress it with
239 Memory usage for LZMS and LZX compression has been decreased.
241 wimextract now allows wildcard characters in paths specified on the
242 command line. Also, the '--strict-wildcards' option has been removed
243 and replaced with the inverse option '--nullglob'. See the
244 documentation for wimextract for more details and changes.
246 The wimlib_extract_files() function is now considered deprecated in
247 favor of wimlib_extract_paths().
249 Fixed more permissions problems when extracting files on Windows.
251 A new '--no-attributes' option has been added to wimapply and
252 wimextract. The library flag is WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_NO_ATTRIBUTES.
254 The default chunk size is now set correctly when changing the
255 compression type of a WIM, for example with 'wimoptimize'.
257 The '--metadata' option to wiminfo has been replaced with the
258 '--detailed' option to wimdir.
260 In relevant wimlib-imagex commands, '--solid' may now be used as an
261 alias for '--pack-streams'.
264 Support for extracting and updating the new version 3584 WIMs has been
265 added. These WIMs typically pack many streams ("files") together into a
266 single compressed resource, thereby saving space. This degrades the
267 performance of random access (such as that which occurs on a mounted
268 image), but optimizations have been implemented for extraction. These
269 new WIM files also typically use a new compression format (LZMS), which
270 is similar to LZMA and can offer a better compression ratio than LZX.
271 These new WIM files can be created using `wimcapture' with
272 the '--compress=lzms --pack-streams' options. Note: this new WIM format
273 is used by the Windows 8 web downloader, but important segments of the
274 raw '.esd' files are encrypted, so wimlib will not be able to extract
275 such files until they are first decrypted.
277 wimlib now supports extracting files and directories from a WIM image
278 based on a "listfile" that itself contains the list of paths to extract.
279 For `wimextract', the syntax is to specify @LISTFILE instead of a PATH,
280 and for the library itself, the new APIs are wimlib_extract_pathlist()
281 and wimlib_extract_paths(). Path globs containing wildcard characters
284 For searching WIM files, wimlib now has configurable case sensitivity.
285 The default on Windows is still case-insensitive and the default on
286 UNIX-like systems is still case-sensitive, but this can be overridden
287 on either platform through flags to wimlib_global_init(). For
288 `wimlib-imagex', the environmental variable WIMLIB_IMAGEX_IGNORE_CASE
289 can be set to 1 or 0 for case-insensitive or case-sensitive behavior,
292 Support for compression chunk sizes greater than the default of 32768
293 bytes has been added. A larger chunk size typically results in a better
294 compression ratio. However, the MS implementation is seemingly not
295 compatible with all chunk sizes, especially for LZX compression, so the
296 defaults remain unchanged, with the exception of the new LZMS-compressed
297 WIMs, which use a larger chunk size by default.
299 The compression/decompression API exported by wimlib has been changed.
300 Now one set of functions handles all supported compression formats.
302 `wimcapture' and `wimappend' will now display the progress of scanning
303 the directory tree to capture, in addition to the progress of writing
304 data to the WIM. The '--verbose' option no longer does anything. The
305 library API change for this is the addition of several members to
306 `struct wimlib_progress_info_scan' available to progress callbacks.
308 `mkwinpeimg' now correctly handles the '--start-script' option when the
309 start script is not in the working directory.
311 Sequential extraction, previously requested by using
312 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL, is now the default.
313 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER can be used to get the old default
314 behavior (extract in file order).
317 The new LZX compressor added in v1.5.2 has been improved and is now
318 enabled by default, except when `wimcapture' or `wimappend' is run
319 *without* the '--compress' option, in which case the faster LZX
320 compressor is used (the same as before). This behavior is reasonably
321 consistent with ImageX which actually uses "fast" (XPRESS) compression
322 by default. In those cases, use '--compress=maximum' to explicitly
323 capture a WIM image using the new (slower but better) LZX compressor.
325 The '--compress-slow' option still exists to `wimlib-imagex optimize',
326 but its new behavior is to tweak the new LZX compressor even more to
327 produce an even better compression ratio at the cost of more time spent
330 `wimlib-imagex optimize' now supports the '--compress=TYPE' option,
331 which recompresses the WIM file using the specified compression TYPE.
332 The new library API function used for this is
333 wimlib_set_output_compression_type().
335 Added the wimlib_get_xml_data() function to allow library clients to
336 easily retrieve the raw XML data from a WIM file if needed.
338 Fixed a bug that could cause an error code to be incorrectly returned
339 when writing XML data containing a <WINDOWS> element.
341 Mounted WIM images will now correctly show the default file stream even
342 if appears in the alternate data stream entries of the corresponding WIM
346 Added a new experimental LZX compressor which can be enabled by passing
347 '--compress-slow' to `wimlib-imagex capture' or `wimlib-imagex
348 optimize'. (The latter is only applicable if the WIM is already
349 LZX-compressed and the '--recompress' option is also given.) The
350 experimental compressor is much slower but compresses the data slightly
351 more --- currently usually to within a fraction of a percent of the
352 results from WIMGAPI/ImageX.
354 A workaround has been added for compatibility with versions of WinPE
355 that interpret alternate data stream entries in the boot WIM
358 An alignment bug that caused a crash in the LZX decompressor on some
361 wimlib now attempts to clear the WIM_HDR_FLAG_WRITE_IN_PROGRESS flag in
362 the WIM header when restoring the previous state of a WIM it failed to
365 Added a workaround to avoid an access denied error on Windows when
366 replacing a WIM file that another process has opened.
369 wimlib can now open WinPE WIMs from WAIK v2.1, which had a quirk that
370 needed to be handled.
372 A bug in the interpretation of negative IMAGE indices in the
373 --update-of=[WIMFILE:]IMAGE option to `wimlib-imagex capture' and
374 `wimlib-imagex append' has been fixed.
376 A workaround has been added to successfully apply security descriptors
377 with empty DACLs when the NTFS-3g apply mode is being used with NTFS-3g
378 2013.1.13 or earlier.
380 `wimlib-imagex capture' can now accept the '--delta-from' option
384 Added support for "pipable" WIMs. Pipable WIMs allow capturing images
385 to standard output and applying images from standard input, but they are
386 not compatible with Microsoft's software and are not created by default.
387 See the documentation for --pipable flag of `wimlib-imagex capture' for
390 To better support incremental backups, added support for declaring an
391 image as a modified form of another image. See the documentation for
392 the '--update-of' option of `wimlib-imagex append' and `wimlib-imagex
395 Added supported for "delta" WIMs. See the documentation for the
396 '--delta-from' option of `wimlib-imagex capture'.
398 The library support for managing split WIMs has been changed to support
399 other arrangements, such as delta WIMs, and be easier to use. This
400 change is visible in `wimlib-imagex', which also can now accept the
401 '--ref' option multiple times, and also now supports "delta" WIMs as
404 wimlib now preserves WIM integrity tables by default, even if
405 WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not specified. This changes the
406 behavior of `wimlib-imagex' whenever the WIM being operated on contains
407 an integrity table and the '--check' option is not specified.
409 `wimlib-imagex capture' now creates LZX-compressed WIMs by default
410 (when --compress is not specified). This provides the best compression
411 ratio by default, which is usually what is desired, at a cost of some
414 `wimlib-imagex' now supports being invoked as wimCOMMAND, where COMMAND
415 is the command as in `wimlib-imagex COMMAND'; for example, it can be
416 invoked as `wimapply' as an alternative to `wimlib-imagex apply'. The
417 appropriate hard links are created in UNIX installations of
418 `wimlib-imagex', while for the Windows distribution of `wimlib-imagex',
419 batch files that emulate this behavior are generated.
421 Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows.
423 Fixed archiving DOS names in NTFS-3g capture mode.
425 The extraction code has been rewritten and it will now be easier to
426 support new features on all supported backends (currently Win32, UNIX,
427 and NTFS-3g). For example, hard-linked extraction mode (--hardlink) is
428 now supported on all backends, not just UNIX.
430 `mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather
431 than the WAIK itself.
433 wimlib_global_init() now, by default, attempts to acquire additional
434 privileges on Windows, so library clients need not do this.
436 This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it is
437 not binary compatibible with previous releases.
440 Fixed bug in `wimlib-imagex export' that made it impossible to export an
441 image from a WIM that is readonly at the filesystem level.
443 Return error code rather than segfaulting when trying to list files from
444 a non-first part of a split WIM.
446 Joining a WIM will now preserve the RP_FIX and READONLY flags.
449 On Windows, paths given to wimlib-imagex are now treated case
452 Improved behavior regarding invalid filenames; in particular, on
453 Windows, wimlib-imagex will, when extracting, now omit (with an option
454 to override this default) filenames differing only in case, or filenames
455 containing characters not valid on Windows.
457 On Windows, wimlib now supports capturing and extracting long paths
458 (longer than the so-called MAX_PATH).
460 On Windows, `wimlib-imagex update' now acquires proper privileges when
461 running as an Administrator.
463 `wimlib-imagex update' will now complain if no image is specified when
464 trying to update a multi-image WIM.
466 `wimlib-imagex update' now supports specifying a single update command
467 directly on the command line using the --command option.
469 wimlib-imagex will now choose different units for progress messages,
470 depending on the amount of data that needs to be processed.
472 `wimlib-imagex append' will now generate a unique WIM image name if no
473 name is specified and the defaulted name already exists in the WIM.
475 wimlib now allows you to create unnamed WIM images, which can then only
476 be referred to by index.
478 wimlib now allows you to explicitly declare you want write access to a
479 WIM by providing the WIMLIB_OPEN_FLAG_WRITE_ACCESS flag to
482 wimlib now respects the WIM_HDR_FLAG_READONLY flag when set in the WIM
485 Progress callbacks have been added to wimlib's wimlib_update_image()
488 Added wimlib_get_wim_info(), wimlib_set_wim_info(),
489 wimlib_iterate_dir_tree(), and wimlib_iterate_lookup_table() functions
492 NTFS-3g capture now only warns about two conditions previously treated
495 Fixed a couple issues with using wimlib-imagex on UDF filesystems on
498 wimlib now correctly detects and returns an error when reading a WIM
499 image with a cyclic directory structure. (Fun fact: such a WIM will
500 crash Microsoft's software.)
503 Added new "extract" and "update" subcommands to wimlib-imagex, along
504 with associated APIs in the library. These commands are intended mainly
505 for Windows use but can be used on UNIX as well.
507 Many documentation improvements.
509 Fixed a bug in the Windows build where relative symbolic links were not
510 captured in reparse-point fixup mode.
512 Fixed a bug in the Windows build where file handles were left open to
513 the WIM file, causing `wimlib_imagex optimize' to fail in some cases.
515 Fixed a bug in the Windows build of wimlib-imagex where globbing
516 split-WIM parts could cause the program to crash.
518 Fixed a bug where the creation time of WIM images would be shown instead
519 of the last modification time.
521 With the Windows build it is now possible to restore a WIM containing
522 symbolic links as a non-Administrator; however you will receive warnings
523 about not being able to extract the symbolic links.
526 Capturing a WIM image should now be significantly faster in most cases
527 due to improved use of the operating system's cache and avoiding reading
528 files twice whenever possible.
530 The Windows build should now work on Windows XP.
532 The Windows build now supports capturing and restoring hidden,
533 compressed, sparse, and encrypted files.
535 The Windows build now supports capturing and applying WIM images from
536 filesystems other than NTFS (with some reduced functionality).
538 The Windows build now extracts short names correctly.
540 Added support for "reparse-point" fixups (i.e. fixing up of symbolic
541 links). See docs for --rpfix and --norpfix flags of `wimlib-imagex
542 capture' and `wimlib-imagex apply'.
544 The performance of splitting and joining WIMs should be slightly
547 The LZX and XPRESS compression and decompression functions are now
548 exported from the library.
551 Improvements and bugfixes for the Windows build.
553 Added --strict-acls options.
555 Fixed the way that wimlib determines the order of images in the WIM.
558 Since wimlib can now be used on Windows, wimlib's implementation of
559 ImageX has been renamed to wimlib-imagex to avoid confusion with
560 Microsoft's implementation of ImageX, which would have the same file
561 name ("imagex.exe"). If you really don't like this you can pass the
562 --with-imagex-progname option to `configure' to choose a different name,
563 or even simply rename the binary yourself (but the former way will
564 configure the man pages to use the chosen name).
566 Various bugs fixed in the Windows build. Mainly to do with capturing
567 and restoring alternate data streams correctly in weird cases, and
568 requesting the correct privileges when opening files. Also added the
569 --noacls options to wimlib-imagex capture, append, and apply.
571 Windows build again: FindFirstStreamW() and FindNextStreamW() are now
572 dynamically loaded, so this may make the library compatible with Windows
573 XP (however, there may still be other problems).
576 Added experimental support for native Windows builds. Binaries can be
577 downloaded from the SourceForge page.
579 --source-list option added to `imagex capture' and `imagex append'.
581 Better support for different character encodings.
584 Storing UNIX file owners, groups, and modes in WIM images is now
585 possible using `imagex capture' with the --unix-data flag.
587 Minor bug fixes and documentation fixes.
590 NTFS capture: Fixed capturing duplicate reparse points.
592 NTFS capture: Capture first unnamed stream if there are more than one
593 (print warning instead of error).
595 Allow multiple test cases to execute concurrently (e.g. make -j2 check).
598 Added --arch switch to mkwinpeimg script to support getting AMD64 WinPE
601 Update to work with ntfs-3g version 2013.1.13.
604 Fixed truncating file to shorter but non-zero length on read-write
607 Various code cleanups and minor documentation fixes.
610 LZX and XPRESS decompression have received some additional optimizations
611 and should now be even faster. (Although, they were already pretty
612 fast--- much faster than typical I/O speeds.)
614 Fixed a bug introduced in v1.2.1 that would cause a directory tree
615 containing hard links to be captured incorrectly in some cases.
618 By default, unmounting a read-write mounted WIM with 'imagex unmount
619 --commit' will now change the WIM in-place without needing to write the
620 entire WIM again. Use 'imagex unmount --commit --rebuild' to get the
623 'imagex unmount' no longer has a hard-coded limit of 10 minutes to wait
624 for a response from the daemon servicing the mounted WIM. Instead,
625 every second 'imagex unmount' will check if the daemon is still alive,
626 and keep waiting if so, otherwise terminate with an error.
628 'imagex unmount --commit' on a read-write mounted WIM will now print
629 progress information regarding the writing of new or modified streams
630 the WIM, just like when capturing or appending a WIM.
632 A small change has been made to XPRESS compression and it should improve
633 the compression ratio slightly.
635 A change was made that may improve performance slightly when applying a
636 WIM image to a NTFS volume.
638 Microsoft has managed to introduce even more bugs into their software,
639 and now the WIMs for Windows 8 have incorrect (too low) reference counts
640 for some streams. This is unsafe because such streams can be removed
641 when they are in actuality still referenced in the WIM (perhaps by a
642 different image). wimlib will now work around this problem by fixing
643 the stream reference counts. This is only done when wimlib_delete_image() is
644 called ('imagex delete') or when wimlib_mount_image() is called with
645 WIMLIB_MOUNT_FLAG_READWRITE ('imagex mountrw'). Please note that this
646 requires reading the metadata for all images in the WIM, so this will
647 make these operations noticably slower on WIMs with multiple images.
649 Various other bugfixes.
652 Appending images to a WIM is now be done by default without re-building
653 the whole WIM. Use the --rebuild flag to get the old behavior (which
654 was to re-build the entire WIM when a new image is appended).
656 A new command `imagex optimize' is now available to manually re-build a
657 WIM that has wasted space due to repeated appends.
659 Progress information has been improved, and now arbitrary callback
660 functions can be used to show the progress of a WIM operation.
662 A possible bug with changing the bootable image of a WIM was fixed.
664 Some advisory locking is now done to prevent two processes from
665 modifying a WIM at the same time (but only in some cases). For example,
666 you cannot mount two images from a WIM read-write at the same time.
668 Some functions have been reorganized:
669 * wimlib_mount() renamed to wimlib_mount_image().
670 * wimlib_unmount() renamed to wimlib_unmount_image().
671 * wimlib_overwrite_xml_and_header() removed as
672 wimlib_overwrite() suffices now.
673 * wimlib_apply_image_to_ntfs_volume() removed as
674 wimlib_extract_image() suffices now.
675 * wimlib_add_image_from_ntfs_volume() removed as
676 * wimlib_add_image() suffices now.
678 Previously, the soname of libwim.so has been 0.0.0, despite many
679 interface changes. The soname is now updated to 1.0.0 and will now be
680 updated each release.
683 Resources will now be compressed using multiple threads by default.
684 (This applies to `imagex capture', `imagex append', and `imagex
687 Some performance improvements in mounted WIMs.
689 More progress information is shown when capturing a WIM.
692 Lots of minor fixes, code cleanups, and some documentation updates.
693 Nothing in particular is really noteworthy.
696 LZX and XPRESS compression improvements.
698 Fixed calculation of Directory Count, File Count, Total Bytes, and Hard
699 Link Bytes of the WIM.
702 Fixed bug when capturing NTFS file with multiple named data streams.
704 Internally, we are now using inode structures, even though these don't
705 appear literally in the WIM file. This simplifies some of the code
706 (mainly for WIM mounting) and likely fixed a few problems, although it
710 Fixed problem when exporting images from XPRESS to LZX compressed WIM or
714 Enough changes to call it version 1.0.0!
716 Capturing a WIM directly from a NTFS volume, and applying a WIM directly
717 to a NTFS volume, is now supported.
719 Hard links and symbolic links have much improved support. They are
720 supported for WIM capture, WIM application, and mounted WIMs (you can
721 even make them on read-write mounted WIMs).
723 Alternate data streams are now supported on mounted WIMs through an
724 xattr or a Windows-style stream interface. Also they are supported when
725 capturing a WIM from NTFS or applying a WIM to NTFS.
727 Split WIMs are better supported. You may now apply an image directly
728 from a split WIM, mount an image from a split WIM read-only, or export
729 an image from a split WIM.
731 Using a capture configuration file is now supported (but not fully yet).
733 SHA1 message digests are checked in more places, so we can make sure
734 applied and captured data is correct.
736 Man pages have been updated and consolidated.
739 Fixed segfault when unmounting read-only WIM.
742 Support for joining and splitting WIMs.
743 Also, security data is now preserved by default.
746 Can now build with older gcc and system headers, like on CentOS 5.
749 Fixed bug that made it impossible to overwrite files in read-write
753 Write byte-order mark before WIM XML data. (imagex.exe requires this to
