-Version 1.7.2-BETA:
- Made another round of performance improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and
- LZMS compressors.
+Version 1.7.3:
+ Fix for very slow export from solid WIM / ESD files.
- On Windows, wimextract and its underlying library function
- wimlib_extract_paths() will no longer fail if given a target directory
- path ending in a slash.
+ Fix for LZX and LZMS algorithms on non-x86 architectures, such as ARM.
- On Windows, wimlib will now attempt to enable short name generation on
- the target volume if any files being extracted have short names.
+ New progress message: WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_HANDLE_ERROR. Applications
+ may use this to treat some types of errors as non-fatal.
- No API changes, but a few documentation improvements.
+ The library now permits making in-memory changes to a WIMStruct backed
+ by a read-only WIM file.
+
+ Fixes for "WIMBoot" extraction mode (Windows only):
+
+ When not using the WOF driver, extraction no longer fails if the
+ disk containing the WIM file has too many partitions.
+
+ When matching patterns in [PrepopulateList], all hard links of
+ each file are now considered.
+
+ The system registry files are now automatically treated as being
+ in [PrepopulateList].
+
+ Added a hack to try to work around an intermittent bug in
+ Microsoft's WOF (Windows Overlay Filesystem) driver.
+
+Version 1.7.2:
+ Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
+
+ A number of improvements to the Windows port:
+
+ Fixes for setting short filenames.
+
+ Faster "WIMBoot" extraction.
+
+ Updated and slimmed down the dependent DLLs.
+
+ ACL inheritence bits are now restored.
+
+ Mandatory integrity labels are now backed up and restored.
+
+ Added a workaround for an issue where in rare cases, wimlib could create
+ a compressed data stream that could not be read correctly by Windows
+ after an extraction in "WIMBoot" mode.
+
+ Library changes:
+ Added file count progress data for
+ WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE and
+ WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
+
+ Added support for testing file exclusions via the user-provided
+ progress function.
+
+ Some documentation improvements.
+
+ Made some clarifications to the license text in the COPYING file.
