Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
+Version 1.4.0:
+ Added new "extract" and "update" subcommands to wimlib-imagex, along
+ with associated APIs in the library. These commands are intended mainly
+ for Windows use but can be used on UNIX as well.
+
+ Many documentation improvements.
+
+ Fixed a bug in the Windows build where relative symbolic links were not
+ captured in reparse-point fixup mode.
+
+ Fixed a bug in the Windows build where file handles were left open to
+ the WIM file, causing `wimlib_imagex optimize' to fail in some cases.
+
+ Fixed a bug in the Windows build of wimlib-imagex where globbing
+ split-WIM parts could cause the program to crash.
+
+ With the Windows build it is now possible to restore a WIM containing
+ symbolic links as a non-Administrator; however you will receive warnings
+ about not being able to extract the symbolic links.
+
Version 1.3.3:
- Windows build now works on Windows XP.
+ Capturing a WIM image should now be significantly faster in most cases
+ due to improved use of the operating system's cache and avoiding reading
+ files twice whenever possible.
+
+ The Windows build should now work on Windows XP.
+
+ The Windows build now supports capturing and restoring hidden,
+ compressed, sparse, and encrypted files.
+
+ The Windows build now supports capturing and applying WIM images from
+ filesystems other than NTFS (with some reduced functionality).
- On the Windows build, hidden directories are now correctly restored as
- hidden. Also compressed, encrypted, and sparse files are now restored
- as such.
+ The Windows build now extracts short names correctly.
- Performance improvements when capturing hard-linked files (both UNIX and
- Windows). Now, each file is only checksummed once total, rather than
- once per link.
+ Added support for "reparse-point" fixups (i.e. fixing up of symbolic
+ links). See docs for --rpfix and --norpfix flags of `wimlib-imagex
+ capture' and `wimlib-imagex apply'.
- Performance of splitting and joining WIMs should be slightly improved.
+ The performance of splitting and joining WIMs should be slightly
+ improved.
- Compression and decompression functions are now exported from the
- library.
+ The LZX and XPRESS compression and decompression functions are now
+ exported from the library.
