- Removed libxml2 and libcrypto (OpenSSL) as dependencies of wimlib. Also
removed winpthreads as a dependency of wimlib on Windows.
-- The README.WINDOWS file and the `windows-build.sh` script (renamed from
- `make-windows-release`) have been improved to make it easier to build wimlib
- on Windows. The instructions now use MSYS2 (instead of Cygwin as they did
- before), and both gcc and clang are supported. Windows ARM64 builds are now
- supported (experimentally) as well.
+- Upgraded the support for mounting WIM images on Linux from fuse2 to fuse3.
+ fuse2 is no longer supported.
-- Improved the performance of the Windows binaries on CPUs that have SHA-1
- instructions.
+- Converted the README, README.WINDOWS, and NEWS files to Markdown.
+
+- Simplified the process of building wimlib for Windows. See README.WINDOWS for
+ the updated instructions, which use MSYS2 instead of Cygwin. Windows ARM64
+ builds are now supported (experimentally) as well.
+
+- Improved performance on CPUs that have SHA-1 instructions in cases where
+ wimlib wasn't using OpenSSL, e.g. the Windows binaries.
- Fixed a bug in `wimsplit` where it didn't accept part sizes of 4 GiB or larger
on Windows and on 32-bit platforms.
- Removed support for Windows XP.
+- Added a GitHub Actions workflow that tests wimlib.
