image), but optimizations have been implemented for extraction. These
new WIM files also typically use a new compression format (LZMS), which
is similar to LZMA and can offer a better compression ratio than LZX.
- These new WIM files can be created with Dism using '/compress recovery',
- or using `wimcapture' using '--pack-streams', although wimlib's LZMS
- compressor is not yet very good, the latter is not recommended. Note:
- this new WIM format is used by the Windows 8 web downloader, but
- important segments of the raw '.esd' files are encrypted, so wimlib will
- not be able to extract such files until they are first decrypted.

wimlib now supports extracting files and directories from a WIM image
based on a "listfile" that itself contains the list of paths to extract.
For searching WIM files, wimlib now has configurable case sensitivity.
The default on Windows is still case-insensitive and the default on
- UNIX-like systems is still case-sensitive, but this can be overwridden
+ UNIX-like systems is still case-sensitive, but this can be overridden
on either platform through flags to wimlib_global_init(). For
`wimlib-imagex', the environmental variable WIMLIB_IMAGEX_IGNORE_CASE
can be set to 1 or 0 for case-insensitive or case-sensitive behavior,
