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.
+
+ Fixed a bug where the creation time of WIM images would be shown instead
+ of the last modification time.
+
+ 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:
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
The Windows build should now work on Windows XP.
- On the Windows build, hidden directories are now correctly restored as
- hidden. Also compressed and sparse files are now restored as such.
- (Support for encrypted files still in progress.)
+ 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).
- Capturing and applying WIM images from filesystems other than NTFS
- should now be possible, although it may not do exactly what you expect
- yet.
+ The Windows build now extracts short names correctly.
Added support for "reparse-point" fixups (i.e. fixing up of symbolic
links). See docs for --rpfix and --norpfix flags of `wimlib-imagex
The performance of splitting and joining WIMs should be slightly
improved.
- The compression and decompression functions are now exported from the
- library.
+ The LZX and XPRESS compression and decompression functions are now
+ exported from the library.
Version 1.3.2:
Improvements and bugfixes for the Windows build.
