Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
-Version 1.6.2 (BETA):
+Version 1.6.3-BETA:
+ Added support for "WIMBoot". On any platform, you can now capture a WIM
+ as WIMBoot-compatible. In addition, on Windows, specifically Windows
+ 8.1 Update 1 and later, you can now apply a WIM archive in a special
+ mode that causes extracted files to be externally backed by the WIM
+ archive. See the documentation for the new '--wimboot' option to
+ wimcapture and wimapply, respectively, for more information.
+
+ The shared library version has been bumped up; however, there are only
+ small incompatibilities:
+
+ - wimlib_capture_config has been removed. The library now takes
+ the configuration file directly.
+
+Version 1.6.2:
Case-insensitive comparisons of strings (e.g. filenames) containing
UTF-16 codepoints above 32767 are now done correctly.
Fixed build failure on Mac OS X.
- The LZMS compression chunk size, or "dictionary size", may now be up to
- 1 GiB (2^30).
+ wimunmount now provides the '--new-image' option to cause changes to a
+ read-write mounted image to be committed as a new image rather than as
+ an update of the mounted image. (The corresponding new library flag is
+ WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_NEW_IMAGE.)
+
+ The LZMS ("recovery") compression chunk size, or "dictionary size", may
+ now be up to 1 GiB (1,073,741,824 bytes).
- The performance of LZX and LZMS compression with large chunk sizes has
- been slightly improved.
+ The performance of LZX ("maximum") and LZMS ("recovery") compression
+ with large chunk sizes has been slightly improved.
Version 1.6.1:
Stored files with size exactly 4 GiB (4,294,967,296 bytes) are now
