Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
Version 1.6.1:
- This release is minor bug-fixes only:
-
Stored files with size exactly 4 GiB (4,294,967,296 bytes) are now
decompressed correctly.
- Paths passed to wimlib_extract_paths() may now use either forwards or
- backwards slashes, as documented.
+ Fixed a minor compatibility issue with the LZMS compressor and
+ decompressor. This is *not* the default compression type and was only
+ introduced in v1.6.0. In the unlikely event that you created a
+ LZMS-compressed WIM with v1.6.0 and a checksum error is reported when
+ applying it with v1.6.1, decompress it with v1.6.0 then compress it with
+ v1.6.1.
+
+ Fixed more permissions problems when extracting files on Windows.
+
+ Paths passed to wimlib_extract_paths() and wimlib_iterate_dir_tree() may
+ now use either forwards or backwards slashes, as documented.
+
+ Fixed a potential stack overflow when extracting solid archives
+ containing more than about 100000 files.
+
+ Memory usage for LZMS and LZX compression has been decreased.
+
+ For wimcapture, wimoptimize, and wimexport, '--solid' may now be used as
+ an alias for '--pack-streams'.
- Fixed a potential stack overflow when extracting solid archives (packed
- streams) containing more than about 100000 files.
+ The default chunk size is now set correctly when changing the
+ compression type of a WIM (this bug caused 'wimoptimize' to fail when
+ changing the compression type from None to LZX with no chunk size
+ explicitly specified, for example).
Version 1.6.0:
Support for extracting and updating the new version 3584 WIMs has been
