-Version 1.9.1-BETA:
- Added support for object IDs, which are a type of metadata sometimes
- present on NTFS filesystems. They are used by some Windows software,
- such as the Distributed Link Tracking Service. Object IDs are now
- captured and applied both in NTFS-3g mode and on Windows when supported
- by the filesystem.
+Version 1.11.0-BETA1:
+ On all platforms, sparse files are now extracted as sparse.
- Reduced memory usage when exporting large numbers of WIM images.
+ Sparse files captured from UNIX-style filesystems are now marked as
+ sparse in the resulting WIM image.
+
+ Added support for storing Linux-style extended attributes in WIM images.
+ When the --unix-data option is used on Linux, wimlib-imagex now captures
+ and applies extended attributes, in addition to the already-supported
+ standard UNIX file permissions (owner/group/mode) and special files.
+
+ On Windows, improved the way in which files deduplicated with Windows'
+ Data Deduplication feature are captured.
+
+ The development files needed to link with wimlib using Visual Studio are
+ now included in the Windows release archives.
+
+ wimlib.h can now be included by Visual Studio without errors.
+
+ The example programs can now be compiled in C++ mode, and they also now
+ work on Windows.
+
+ Updated 'mkwinpeimg' to work correctly on images that have a "windows"
+ (lower case) directory rather than a "Windows" (upper case) directory.
+
+ Fixed configuring with --enable-ssse3-sha1 from release tarball
+ (the file nasm_lt.sh was missing).
+
+Version 1.10.0:
+ The LZX compression ratio has been slightly improved. The default mode,
+ LZX level 50, is now almost as good as the old LZX level 100, while
+ being nearly the same speed as before.
+
+ Decompression performance has been slightly improved.
+
+ Filenames are now always listed in NTFS collation order.
+
+ On UNIX-like systems, wimlib can now process Windows filenames that are
+ not valid Unicode due to the presence of unpaired surrogates.
+
+ On UNIX-like systems, wimlib now always assumes UTF-8 encoding with the
+ addition of surrogate codepoints. Consequently, the environmental
+ variable WIMLIB_IMAGEX_USE_UTF8 and the flag
+ WIMLIB_INIT_FLAG_ASSUME_UTF8 no longer have any effect.
- Made some minor build-related updates. Notably, enabled "silent" make
- rules; this makes the output cleaner when building from source.
+ wimlib no longer depends on iconv.
+
+ Reduced memory usage slightly.
+
+ When a WIM image is applied in NTFS-3G mode, security descriptors are
+ now created in NTFS v3.0 format when supported by the volume.
+
+ Workarounds for bugs in libntfs-3g version 2013.1.13 and earlier have
+ been removed. Users are advised to upgrade to a later version of
+ libntfs-3g.
+
+ On Windows, wimlib now supports case-sensitive filename extraction when
+ supported by the underlying operating system and filesystem (operating
+ system support requires a registry setting).
+
+Version 1.9.2:
+ On UNIX, wimlib can now overwrite readonly files when extracting.
+
+ On Windows, fixed a bug where wimlib could leave a null DACL (a.k.a. "no
+ NTFS permissions") set on some existing directories after extraction.
+
+ On Windows, when applying a WIM image in "WIMBoot mode" when the WOF
+ driver is not loaded, wimlib can now correctly register a new WIM file
+ with the target volume when the target volume previously had had WIM
+ files unregistered.
+
+ Added a new testing program.
+
+ Clarified the main license text and updated public domain dedications
+ for certain files to be more thorough.
+
+Version 1.9.1:
+ Object IDs are now saved and restored on Windows and in NTFS-3G mode.
+
+ Reduced memory usage when exporting large numbers of WIM images.
Non UTF-8 locales are now detected correctly.
- Some Windows-specific updates:
+ Addressed compiler warnings and enabled "silent" make rules by default.
+
+ Windows-specific updates:
Fixed a bug where duplicate backslashes could be generated in
link targets when extracting symbolic links and junctions.
- Fixed a bug where the .cmd shortcuts for wimlib-imagex would not
+ Fixed a bug where the .cmd shortcuts for wimlib-imagex wouldn't
work if their full path contained a space.
- Fixed bugs when capturing a WIM image from a SMB filesystem.
+ Fixed bugs related to scanning SMB filesystems.
Added warning message about known issue with WindowsApps folder.
