-Version 1.7.2-BETA:
+Version 1.7.4-BETA:
+ The Windows binary distribution no longer contain third party DLLs.
+ These dependencies are instead compiled directly into libwim.dll.
+
+ Added more fixes for wimlib on non-x86 architectures such as ARM.
+
+ Extracting files to a Windows PE in-memory filesystem no longer fails if
+ the target files do not yet exist.
+
+ Made more improvements to compression and decompression. Most notable
+ is about 10% faster XPRESS compression with a tiny improvement in
+ compression ratio.
+
+ Removed the --with-imagex-progname and --enable-more-assertions
+ configure options.
+
+Version 1.7.3:
+ Fix for very slow export from solid WIM / ESD files.
+
+ Fix for LZX and LZMS algorithms on non-x86 architectures, such as ARM.
+
+ New progress message: WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_HANDLE_ERROR. Applications
+ may use this to treat some types of errors as non-fatal.
+
+ 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.
- Fixes for setting short names on Windows.
+ A number of improvements to the Windows port:
- Faster "WIMBoot" extraction on Windows.
+ Fixes for setting short filenames.
- Updated dependent DLLs in Windows release. libxml2 is slimmed down.
+ Faster "WIMBoot" extraction.
- ACL inheritance bits are now restored on Windows.
+ 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
Some documentation improvements.
+ Made some clarifications to the license text in the COPYING file.
