-Version 1.8.2-BETA:
- Fixed a bug: on 32-bit systems, the library would enter an infinite loop
- if WIM image metadata was malformed in a very specific way.
+Version 1.8.3-BETA:
+ Fixed a bug with libntfs-3g extraction present since v1.8.1. Sometimes,
+ some Microsoft software would not correctly recognize data in the
+ resulting filesystem. Users of the (UNIX-only) NTFS-3g based WIM
+ extraction support should not use wimlib v1.8.1 or wimlib v1.8.2.
- Windows symbolic links and junctions in mounted WIM images are now
- automatically rewritten to be valid in the mounted location.
+ Several improvements to System Compression (compact mode) support:
+
+ wof.sys (or wofadk.sys) is now automatically attached to the
+ target volume if needed.
+
+ Compact-mode extractions now work correctly with wofadk.sys on
+ older versions of Windows.
+
+ For compatibility with the Windows bootloader, the requested
+ compression format now is overridden on certain files.
+
+Version 1.8.2:
+ This release primarily contains various minor bug fixes and
+ improvements, including:
+
+ Improved handling of deep directory structures.
+
+ Fixed a bug where on 32-bit systems, the library could enter an
+ infinite loop if a WIM file was malformed in a specific way.
+
+ Added a workaround for a case where libntfs-3g may report
+ duplicate streams in an NTFS file.
+
+ Windows symbolic links and junctions in mounted WIM images are
+ now automatically rewritten to be valid in the mounted location.
+
+ Reparse point fixes: correctly handle the "ReparseReserved"
+ field, and correctly handle "empty" (data-less) reparse points.
+
+ On Windows, wimlib now acquires SeManageVolumePrivilege, which
+ is needed to create externally backed files using the
+ "wofadk.sys" driver.
+
+ Improved validation of filenames.
+
+ Improved LZMS decompression speed.
+
+ The configure script now honors alternate pkg-config settings.
+
+ Links have been updated to point to the new website.
+
+ In addition, experimental support has been added for compressing
+ extracted files using System Compression on Windows 10. This
+ functionality is available through the new '--compact' option to
+ 'wimapply' and 'wimextract' as well as new library flags.
Version 1.8.1:
Fixed a bug in the LZX decompressor: malicious input data could cause
