Two new functions have been added to the library to fully - support this: wimlib_write_to_fd() and wimlib_extract_image_from_pipe(). +Version 1.5.1: + wimlib can now open WinPE WIMs from WAIK v2.1, which had a quirk that + needed to be handled. - wimlib now preserve WIM integrity tables by default, even if - WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not specified. This affects - wimlib-imagex's behavior when --check is not specified. + A bug in the interpretation of negative IMAGE indices in the + --update-of=[WIMFILE:]IMAGE option to `wimlib-imagex capture' and + `wimlib-imagex append' has been fixed. - Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows. + A workaround has been added to successfully apply security descriptors + with empty DACLs when the NTFS-3g apply mode is being used with NTFS-3g + 2013.1.13 or earlier. - `mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather - than the WAIK itself. + `wimlib-imagex capture' can now accept the '--delta-from' option + multiple times. - The test suite no longer fails when run in a locale where the decimal - separator is not a period. +Version 1.5.0: + Added support for "pipable" WIMs. Pipable WIMs allow capturing images + to standard output and applying images from standard input, but they are + not compatible with Microsoft's software and are not created by default. + See the documentation for --pipable flag of `wimlib-imagex capture' for + more information. + + To better support incremental backups, added support for declaring an + image as a modified form of another image. See the documentation for + the '--update-of' option of `wimlib-imagex append' and `wimlib-imagex + capture'. + + Added supported for "delta" WIMs. See the documentation for the + '--delta-from' option of `wimlib-imagex capture'. + + The library support for managing split WIMs has been changed to support + other arrangements, such as delta WIMs, and be easier to use. This + change is visible in `wimlib-imagex', which also can now accept the + '--ref' option multiple times, and also now supports "delta" WIMs as + mentioned above. + + wimlib now preserves WIM integrity tables by default, even if + WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not specified. This changes the + behavior of `wimlib-imagex' whenever the WIM being operated on contains + an integrity table and the '--check' option is not specified. + + `wimlib-imagex capture' now creates LZX-compressed WIMs by default + (when --compress is not specified). This provides the best compression + ratio by default, which is usually what is desired, at a cost of some + speed. + + `wimlib-imagex' now supports being invoked as wimCOMMAND, where COMMAND + is the command as in `wimlib-imagex COMMAND'; for example, it can be + invoked as `wimapply' as an alternative to `wimlib-imagex apply'. The + appropriate hard links are created in UNIX installations of + `wimlib-imagex', while for the Windows distribution of `wimlib-imagex', + batch files that emulate this behavior are generated. - WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DENTRY has been removed and - WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_VERBOSE re-reserved for future use. + Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows. + + Fixed archiving DOS names in NTFS-3g capture mode. The extraction code has been rewritten and it will now be easier to support new features on all supported backends (currently Win32, UNIX, and NTFS-3g). For example, hard-linked extraction mode (--hardlink) is now supported on all backends, not just UNIX. - A few changes were made to the error codes returned by library routines. + `mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather + than the WAIK itself. + + wimlib_global_init() now, by default, attempts to acquire additional + privileges on Windows, so library clients need not do this. + + This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it is + not binary compatibible with previous releases. Version 1.4.2: Fixed bug in `wimlib-imagex export' that made it impossible to export an
