The + instructions now use MSYS2 (instead of Cygwin as they did before), and + both gcc and clang are supported. + + Removed support for Windows XP. + +Version 1.13.6: + wimsplit no longer prints a success message on failure. + + wimlib_iterate_dir_tree() no longer hashes files that haven't yet been + written to the WIM file. + + Reduced the maximum number of file descriptors that wimlib can use when + extracting files from a WIM image on macOS. + + The files that used the CC0 public domain dedication now use the MIT + license instead. + + Removed some configuration options (--disable-assertions, + --disable-error-messages, and --disable-multithreaded-compression) + that probably weren't being used by anyone. + +Version 1.13.5: + Exporting "all" images from a WIM file no longer fails if multiple + images in that WIM file have the same name. + + wimlib now warns rather than aborts if two files have the same SHA-1 + hash but different sizes. + + Fixed build errors with the latest version of Mingw-w64. + +Version 1.13.4: + wimsplit now prints progress messages regularly rather than just once + per WIM part. + + Added support for a data recovery mode which causes files to be + extracted even if they are corrupted. The option is --recover-data for + wimapply and wimextract, and WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_RECOVER_DATA for the + library. Note that this option won't help with all types of corruption; + some types of corruption will still cause a fatal error. + +Version 1.13.3: + On Windows, improved performance of capturing an entire drive in some + cases. + + On Windows, fixed leaking a directory handle (or triggering a SEH + exception when running under a debugger) when referencing WIM files. + + On Windows, when applying a Windows OS image using the --compact flag, + bootloader files can now be compressed with stronger compression + algorithms if the version of Windows is recent enough to support it. + + Clarified the license text. + +Version 1.13.2: + Prevented miscompilation with gcc 10 at -O3 + (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=94994). + + Avoided some compiler warnings with gcc 9 and later. + + The 'mkwinpeimg' script now also looks for syslinux modules in + /usr/share/syslinux, to handle where openSUSE installs them. + + Removed obsolete packaging files from the source tree. + +Version 1.13.1: + Fixed a crash or incorrect output during LZMS compression with a + compression level greater than 50 and a chunk size greater than 64 MiB. + This affected wimlib v1.8.0 and later. In the unlikely event that you + used all these non-default compression settings in combination, e.g. + 'wimcapture --solid --solid-compress=LZMS:100 --solid-chunk-size=128M', + run 'wimverify' on your archives to verify your data is intact. + +Version 1.13.0: + On Windows, wimlib now supports capturing and applying extended + attributes (EAs). It is compatible with DISM with the /EA option, + available since Windows 10 version 1607. wimlib's EA support is on by + default and works on older versions of Windows too. + + Partially fixed a bug where [ExclusionException] entries didn't take + effect when the containing directory is matched by [ExclusionList]. It + now works when the [ExclusionException] patterns are absolute. For + example, listing "/dir/file" in [ExclusionException] now works even if + "/dir" is matched by [ExclusionList]. + + Added a '--create' option to 'wimappend' which makes it create the WIM + file (like 'wimcapture') if it doesn't exist yet. + + Added an '--include-integrity' option to various wimlib-imagex commands. + '--include-integrity' is like '--check', but it will just include an + integrity table in the output WIM(s), while skipping verification of any + existing integrity tables. This can be useful to avoid unwanted + verification of large WIM files, e.g. WIMs given by '--delta-from'. + + 'wimextract' now reads a pathlist file from standard input when "@-" is + given as an argument. + + wimsplit (API: wimlib_split()) now correctly handles a dot in the path + to the first split WIM part, prior to the filename extension. + + 'wimlib-imagex --version' now shows the version of the library it is + actually using (in case it is different from wimlib-imagex's version). + Version 1.12.0: Fixed a bug that was causing the LZMS decompressor to be miscompiled with GCC 7 (this broke extracting "solid" archives).
