2 The Windows binary distribution no longer contains third party DLLs.
3 These dependencies are instead compiled directly into the libwim DLL.
5 Added more fixes for wimlib on non-x86 architectures such as ARM.
7 Extracting files to a Windows PE in-memory filesystem no longer fails if
8 the target files do not yet exist.
10 Improved the performance of XPRESS compression and LZMS decompression.
12 Enabled SSSE3 accelerated SHA-1 computation in x86_64 Windows builds.
13 It will automatically be faster on newer Intel and AMD processors.
15 Removed the --with-imagex-progname and --enable-more-assertions
19 Fix for very slow export from solid WIM / ESD files.
21 Fix for LZX and LZMS algorithms on non-x86 architectures, such as ARM.
23 New progress message: WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_HANDLE_ERROR. Applications
24 may use this to treat some types of errors as non-fatal.
26 The library now permits making in-memory changes to a WIMStruct backed
27 by a read-only WIM file.
29 Fixes for "WIMBoot" extraction mode (Windows only):
31 When not using the WOF driver, extraction no longer fails if the
32 disk containing the WIM file has too many partitions.
34 When matching patterns in [PrepopulateList], all hard links of
35 each file are now considered.
37 The system registry files are now automatically treated as being
40 Added a hack to try to work around an intermittent bug in
41 Microsoft's WOF (Windows Overlay Filesystem) driver.
44 Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
46 A number of improvements to the Windows port:
48 Fixes for setting short filenames.
50 Faster "WIMBoot" extraction.
52 Updated and slimmed down the dependent DLLs.
54 ACL inheritence bits are now restored.
56 Mandatory integrity labels are now backed up and restored.
58 Added a workaround for an issue where in rare cases, wimlib could create
59 a compressed data stream that could not be read correctly by Windows
60 after an extraction in "WIMBoot" mode.
63 Added file count progress data for
64 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE and
65 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
67 Added support for testing file exclusions via the user-provided
70 Some documentation improvements.
72 Made some clarifications to the license text in the COPYING file.
75 Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
77 The default compression mode for wimcapture is now LZX compression in
78 its default mode, which is the same as '--compress=maximum'.
80 You can now specify an optional integer compression level to the
81 '--compress' option; e.g. '--compress=lzx:75'.
83 Made a minor change to the LZMS compressor and decompressor to fix an
84 incompatibility with the Microsoft implementation. In the unlikely
85 event that you created an LZMS-compressed WIM with wimlib v1.7.0 or
86 earlier and a checksum error is reported when extracting files from it
87 with wimlib v1.7.1, decompress it with v1.7.0 then compress it with
90 Added 'verify' subcommand to wimlib-imagex.
92 Notable library changes:
94 Custom compressor parameters have been removed from the library
95 in favor of the simpler level-based API.
97 Decompressor parameters have been removed entirely.
99 Library users can now specify a custom file for warning and
100 error messages to be sent to, rather than the default of
103 New progress messages:
104 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE,
105 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
107 New function: wimlib_verify_wim().
110 Improved compression, decompression, and extraction performance.
112 Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files:
113 - Add support for reading and writing multiple solid blocks per
114 archive, which WIMGAPI/DISM can create when appending an image.
115 - Correctly create solid blocks larger than 4 GiB.
117 'add' commands passed to wimupdate will now replace existing
118 nondirectory files by default. Use the --no-replace option to get the
121 The license for the library now contains an exception that allows using
122 it under the LGPL. See the COPYING file for details.
124 In reparse-point fixup mode (the default for capture), symbolic links
125 and junctions that point outside the tree being captured are no longer
126 excluded from capture.
128 Added support for "WIMBoot" capture and extraction. See the
129 documentation for the new '--wimboot' option to wimcapture and wimapply
130 for more information.
132 On UNIX-like systems, you can now backup and restore device nodes, named
133 pipes, and sockets. In addition, 32-bit user and group IDs are now
136 The way that UNIX data is stored in WIM files has been changed. If you
137 captured any WIMs with the --unix-data option, to upgrade them you'll
138 need to apply them with --unix-data using wimlib-imagex v1.6.2, then
139 re-capture them with --unix-data using this version.
141 wimlib now understands tagged metadata items, such as object IDs, that
142 can be stored in WIM directory entries.
144 Removed the --hardlink and --symlink options to wimapply, since I don't
145 think they are too useful and they got in the way of improving the code.
147 WIMs will now retain their GUIDs when rebuilt (e.g. with wimoptimize).
149 The 'mkwinpeimg' script now supports writing the ISO image to standard
152 The <ARCH> element in WIM XML data is now exported correctly.
154 On Windows, sparse file attributes are no longer set on extracted files.
155 Oddly enough, this actually saves disk space in some cases.
157 On UNIX, configuring with --disable-xattr or --enable-xattr is no longer
158 supported. Mounting WIM images now always requires extended attribute
159 support. Use --without-fuse to disable support for mounting WIM images;
160 this will also disable the need for extended attribute support.
162 Configuring with --enable-ssse3-sha1 now works correctly.
164 The shared library version has been bumped up. The main
165 incompatibilities are:
167 - WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_XPRESS is now 1 and
168 WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_LZX is now 2 (so it's the same as
171 - User-provided progress functions are now registered using a
172 separate function, wimlib_register_progress_function(). The
173 'progress_func' argument to many functions no longer exists.
175 - The return value from user-provided progress functions is now
178 - A context argument has been added to the prototype of
179 user-provided progress functions.
181 - 'struct wimlib_capture_config' has been removed. The library
182 now takes the path to the configuration file directly. This
183 affects wimlib_add_image(), wimlib_add_image_multisource(),
184 and wimlib_update_image(). However, a NULL value passed in
185 the argument retains the same meaning.
187 - Removed deprecated functions: some (de)compression functions,
188 wimlib_extract_files(), and wimlib_print_metadata().
190 - Removed extraction flags: WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_HARDLINK,
191 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SYMLINK, WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER,
192 and WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL.
194 - Removed some progress messages:
195 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_APPLY_TIMESTAMPS,
196 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_BEGIN,
197 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_END. Numbering
200 - Removed some error codes. Numbering stays the same.
202 - Replaced WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_LAZY with
203 WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_FORCE.
205 - WIM paths passed to progress functions now have a leading
209 Case-insensitive comparisons of strings (e.g. filenames) containing
210 UTF-16 codepoints above 32767 are now done correctly.
212 Fixed build failure on Mac OS X.
214 wimunmount now provides the '--new-image' option to cause changes to a
215 read-write mounted image to be committed as a new image rather than as
216 an update of the mounted image. (The corresponding new library flag is
217 WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_NEW_IMAGE.)
219 The LZMS ("recovery") compression chunk size, or "dictionary size", may
220 now be up to 1 GiB (1,073,741,824 bytes).
222 The performance of LZX ("maximum") and LZMS ("recovery") compression
223 with large chunk sizes has been slightly improved.
226 Stored files with size exactly 4 GiB (4,294,967,296 bytes) are now
227 decompressed correctly.
229 Fixed a bug in the LZX compressor introduced in v1.5.3. The bug
230 occurred in an unlikely case, and due to validity checks it did not
231 affect successfully created archives.
233 Fixed a minor compatibility issue with the LZMS compressor and
234 decompressor. This is *not* the default compression type and was only
235 introduced in v1.6.0. In the unlikely event that you created an
236 LZMS-compressed WIM with v1.6.0 and a checksum error is reported when
237 applying it with v1.6.1, decompress it with v1.6.0 then compress it with
240 Memory usage for LZMS and LZX compression has been decreased.
242 wimextract now allows wildcard characters in paths specified on the
243 command line. Also, the '--strict-wildcards' option has been removed
244 and replaced with the inverse option '--nullglob'. See the
245 documentation for wimextract for more details and changes.
247 The wimlib_extract_files() function is now considered deprecated in
248 favor of wimlib_extract_paths().
250 Fixed more permissions problems when extracting files on Windows.
252 A new '--no-attributes' option has been added to wimapply and
253 wimextract. The library flag is WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_NO_ATTRIBUTES.
255 The default chunk size is now set correctly when changing the
256 compression type of a WIM, for example with 'wimoptimize'.
258 The '--metadata' option to wiminfo has been replaced with the
259 '--detailed' option to wimdir.
261 In relevant wimlib-imagex commands, '--solid' may now be used as an
262 alias for '--pack-streams'.
265 Support for extracting and updating the new version 3584 WIMs has been
266 added. These WIMs typically pack many streams ("files") together into a
267 single compressed resource, thereby saving space. This degrades the
268 performance of random access (such as that which occurs on a mounted
269 image), but optimizations have been implemented for extraction. These
270 new WIM files also typically use a new compression format (LZMS), which
271 is similar to LZMA and can offer a better compression ratio than LZX.
272 These new WIM files can be created using `wimcapture' with
273 the '--compress=lzms --pack-streams' options. Note: this new WIM format
274 is used by the Windows 8 web downloader, but important segments of the
275 raw '.esd' files are encrypted, so wimlib will not be able to extract
276 such files until they are first decrypted.
278 wimlib now supports extracting files and directories from a WIM image
279 based on a "listfile" that itself contains the list of paths to extract.
280 For `wimextract', the syntax is to specify @LISTFILE instead of a PATH,
281 and for the library itself, the new APIs are wimlib_extract_pathlist()
282 and wimlib_extract_paths(). Path globs containing wildcard characters
285 For searching WIM files, wimlib now has configurable case sensitivity.
286 The default on Windows is still case-insensitive and the default on
287 UNIX-like systems is still case-sensitive, but this can be overridden
288 on either platform through flags to wimlib_global_init(). For
289 `wimlib-imagex', the environmental variable WIMLIB_IMAGEX_IGNORE_CASE
290 can be set to 1 or 0 for case-insensitive or case-sensitive behavior,
293 Support for compression chunk sizes greater than the default of 32768
294 bytes has been added. A larger chunk size typically results in a better
295 compression ratio. However, the MS implementation is seemingly not
296 compatible with all chunk sizes, especially for LZX compression, so the
297 defaults remain unchanged, with the exception of the new LZMS-compressed
298 WIMs, which use a larger chunk size by default.
300 The compression/decompression API exported by wimlib has been changed.
301 Now one set of functions handles all supported compression formats.
303 `wimcapture' and `wimappend' will now display the progress of scanning
304 the directory tree to capture, in addition to the progress of writing
305 data to the WIM. The '--verbose' option no longer does anything. The
306 library API change for this is the addition of several members to
307 `struct wimlib_progress_info_scan' available to progress callbacks.
309 `mkwinpeimg' now correctly handles the '--start-script' option when the
310 start script is not in the working directory.
312 Sequential extraction, previously requested by using
313 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL, is now the default.
314 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER can be used to get the old default
315 behavior (extract in file order).
318 The new LZX compressor added in v1.5.2 has been improved and is now
319 enabled by default, except when `wimcapture' or `wimappend' is run
320 *without* the '--compress' option, in which case the faster LZX
321 compressor is used (the same as before). This behavior is reasonably
322 consistent with ImageX which actually uses "fast" (XPRESS) compression
323 by default. In those cases, use '--compress=maximum' to explicitly
324 capture a WIM image using the new (slower but better) LZX compressor.
326 The '--compress-slow' option still exists to `wimlib-imagex optimize',
327 but its new behavior is to tweak the new LZX compressor even more to
328 produce an even better compression ratio at the cost of more time spent
331 `wimlib-imagex optimize' now supports the '--compress=TYPE' option,
332 which recompresses the WIM file using the specified compression TYPE.
333 The new library API function used for this is
334 wimlib_set_output_compression_type().
336 Added the wimlib_get_xml_data() function to allow library clients to
337 easily retrieve the raw XML data from a WIM file if needed.
339 Fixed a bug that could cause an error code to be incorrectly returned
340 when writing XML data containing a <WINDOWS> element.
342 Mounted WIM images will now correctly show the default file stream even
343 if appears in the alternate data stream entries of the corresponding WIM
347 Added a new experimental LZX compressor which can be enabled by passing
348 '--compress-slow' to `wimlib-imagex capture' or `wimlib-imagex
349 optimize'. (The latter is only applicable if the WIM is already
350 LZX-compressed and the '--recompress' option is also given.) The
351 experimental compressor is much slower but compresses the data slightly
352 more --- currently usually to within a fraction of a percent of the
353 results from WIMGAPI/ImageX.
355 A workaround has been added for compatibility with versions of WinPE
356 that interpret alternate data stream entries in the boot WIM
359 An alignment bug that caused a crash in the LZX decompressor on some
362 wimlib now attempts to clear the WIM_HDR_FLAG_WRITE_IN_PROGRESS flag in
363 the WIM header when restoring the previous state of a WIM it failed to
366 Added a workaround to avoid an access denied error on Windows when
367 replacing a WIM file that another process has opened.
370 wimlib can now open WinPE WIMs from WAIK v2.1, which had a quirk that
371 needed to be handled.
373 A bug in the interpretation of negative IMAGE indices in the
374 --update-of=[WIMFILE:]IMAGE option to `wimlib-imagex capture' and
375 `wimlib-imagex append' has been fixed.
377 A workaround has been added to successfully apply security descriptors
378 with empty DACLs when the NTFS-3g apply mode is being used with NTFS-3g
379 2013.1.13 or earlier.
381 `wimlib-imagex capture' can now accept the '--delta-from' option
385 Added support for "pipable" WIMs. Pipable WIMs allow capturing images
386 to standard output and applying images from standard input, but they are
387 not compatible with Microsoft's software and are not created by default.
388 See the documentation for --pipable flag of `wimlib-imagex capture' for
391 To better support incremental backups, added support for declaring an
392 image as a modified form of another image. See the documentation for
393 the '--update-of' option of `wimlib-imagex append' and `wimlib-imagex
396 Added supported for "delta" WIMs. See the documentation for the
397 '--delta-from' option of `wimlib-imagex capture'.
399 The library support for managing split WIMs has been changed to support
400 other arrangements, such as delta WIMs, and be easier to use. This
401 change is visible in `wimlib-imagex', which also can now accept the
402 '--ref' option multiple times, and also now supports "delta" WIMs as
405 wimlib now preserves WIM integrity tables by default, even if
406 WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not specified. This changes the
407 behavior of `wimlib-imagex' whenever the WIM being operated on contains
408 an integrity table and the '--check' option is not specified.
410 `wimlib-imagex capture' now creates LZX-compressed WIMs by default
411 (when --compress is not specified). This provides the best compression
412 ratio by default, which is usually what is desired, at a cost of some
415 `wimlib-imagex' now supports being invoked as wimCOMMAND, where COMMAND
416 is the command as in `wimlib-imagex COMMAND'; for example, it can be
417 invoked as `wimapply' as an alternative to `wimlib-imagex apply'. The
418 appropriate hard links are created in UNIX installations of
419 `wimlib-imagex', while for the Windows distribution of `wimlib-imagex',
420 batch files that emulate this behavior are generated.
422 Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows.
424 Fixed archiving DOS names in NTFS-3g capture mode.
426 The extraction code has been rewritten and it will now be easier to
427 support new features on all supported backends (currently Win32, UNIX,
428 and NTFS-3g). For example, hard-linked extraction mode (--hardlink) is
429 now supported on all backends, not just UNIX.
431 `mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather
432 than the WAIK itself.
434 wimlib_global_init() now, by default, attempts to acquire additional
435 privileges on Windows, so library clients need not do this.
437 This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it is
438 not binary compatibible with previous releases.
441 Fixed bug in `wimlib-imagex export' that made it impossible to export an
442 image from a WIM that is readonly at the filesystem level.
444 Return error code rather than segfaulting when trying to list files from
445 a non-first part of a split WIM.
447 Joining a WIM will now preserve the RP_FIX and READONLY flags.
450 On Windows, paths given to wimlib-imagex are now treated case
453 Improved behavior regarding invalid filenames; in particular, on
454 Windows, wimlib-imagex will, when extracting, now omit (with an option
455 to override this default) filenames differing only in case, or filenames
456 containing characters not valid on Windows.
458 On Windows, wimlib now supports capturing and extracting long paths
459 (longer than the so-called MAX_PATH).
461 On Windows, `wimlib-imagex update' now acquires proper privileges when
462 running as an Administrator.
464 `wimlib-imagex update' will now complain if no image is specified when
465 trying to update a multi-image WIM.
467 `wimlib-imagex update' now supports specifying a single update command
468 directly on the command line using the --command option.
470 wimlib-imagex will now choose different units for progress messages,
471 depending on the amount of data that needs to be processed.
473 `wimlib-imagex append' will now generate a unique WIM image name if no
474 name is specified and the defaulted name already exists in the WIM.
476 wimlib now allows you to create unnamed WIM images, which can then only
477 be referred to by index.
479 wimlib now allows you to explicitly declare you want write access to a
480 WIM by providing the WIMLIB_OPEN_FLAG_WRITE_ACCESS flag to
483 wimlib now respects the WIM_HDR_FLAG_READONLY flag when set in the WIM
486 Progress callbacks have been added to wimlib's wimlib_update_image()
489 Added wimlib_get_wim_info(), wimlib_set_wim_info(),
490 wimlib_iterate_dir_tree(), and wimlib_iterate_lookup_table() functions
493 NTFS-3g capture now only warns about two conditions previously treated
496 Fixed a couple issues with using wimlib-imagex on UDF filesystems on
499 wimlib now correctly detects and returns an error when reading a WIM
500 image with a cyclic directory structure. (Fun fact: such a WIM will
501 crash Microsoft's software.)
504 Added new "extract" and "update" subcommands to wimlib-imagex, along
505 with associated APIs in the library. These commands are intended mainly
506 for Windows use but can be used on UNIX as well.
508 Many documentation improvements.
510 Fixed a bug in the Windows build where relative symbolic links were not
511 captured in reparse-point fixup mode.
513 Fixed a bug in the Windows build where file handles were left open to
514 the WIM file, causing `wimlib_imagex optimize' to fail in some cases.
516 Fixed a bug in the Windows build of wimlib-imagex where globbing
517 split-WIM parts could cause the program to crash.
519 Fixed a bug where the creation time of WIM images would be shown instead
520 of the last modification time.
522 With the Windows build it is now possible to restore a WIM containing
523 symbolic links as a non-Administrator; however you will receive warnings
524 about not being able to extract the symbolic links.
527 Capturing a WIM image should now be significantly faster in most cases
528 due to improved use of the operating system's cache and avoiding reading
529 files twice whenever possible.
531 The Windows build should now work on Windows XP.
533 The Windows build now supports capturing and restoring hidden,
534 compressed, sparse, and encrypted files.
536 The Windows build now supports capturing and applying WIM images from
537 filesystems other than NTFS (with some reduced functionality).
539 The Windows build now extracts short names correctly.
541 Added support for "reparse-point" fixups (i.e. fixing up of symbolic
542 links). See docs for --rpfix and --norpfix flags of `wimlib-imagex
543 capture' and `wimlib-imagex apply'.
545 The performance of splitting and joining WIMs should be slightly
548 The LZX and XPRESS compression and decompression functions are now
549 exported from the library.
552 Improvements and bugfixes for the Windows build.
554 Added --strict-acls options.
556 Fixed the way that wimlib determines the order of images in the WIM.
559 Since wimlib can now be used on Windows, wimlib's implementation of
560 ImageX has been renamed to wimlib-imagex to avoid confusion with
561 Microsoft's implementation of ImageX, which would have the same file
562 name ("imagex.exe"). If you really don't like this you can pass the
563 --with-imagex-progname option to `configure' to choose a different name,
564 or even simply rename the binary yourself (but the former way will
565 configure the man pages to use the chosen name).
567 Various bugs fixed in the Windows build. Mainly to do with capturing
568 and restoring alternate data streams correctly in weird cases, and
569 requesting the correct privileges when opening files. Also added the
570 --noacls options to wimlib-imagex capture, append, and apply.
572 Windows build again: FindFirstStreamW() and FindNextStreamW() are now
573 dynamically loaded, so this may make the library compatible with Windows
574 XP (however, there may still be other problems).
577 Added experimental support for native Windows builds. Binaries can be
578 downloaded from the SourceForge page.
580 --source-list option added to `imagex capture' and `imagex append'.
582 Better support for different character encodings.
585 Storing UNIX file owners, groups, and modes in WIM images is now
586 possible using `imagex capture' with the --unix-data flag.
588 Minor bug fixes and documentation fixes.
591 NTFS capture: Fixed capturing duplicate reparse points.
593 NTFS capture: Capture first unnamed stream if there are more than one
594 (print warning instead of error).
596 Allow multiple test cases to execute concurrently (e.g. make -j2 check).
599 Added --arch switch to mkwinpeimg script to support getting AMD64 WinPE
602 Update to work with ntfs-3g version 2013.1.13.
605 Fixed truncating file to shorter but non-zero length on read-write
608 Various code cleanups and minor documentation fixes.
611 LZX and XPRESS decompression have received some additional optimizations
612 and should now be even faster. (Although, they were already pretty
613 fast--- much faster than typical I/O speeds.)
615 Fixed a bug introduced in v1.2.1 that would cause a directory tree
616 containing hard links to be captured incorrectly in some cases.
619 By default, unmounting a read-write mounted WIM with 'imagex unmount
620 --commit' will now change the WIM in-place without needing to write the
621 entire WIM again. Use 'imagex unmount --commit --rebuild' to get the
624 'imagex unmount' no longer has a hard-coded limit of 10 minutes to wait
625 for a response from the daemon servicing the mounted WIM. Instead,
626 every second 'imagex unmount' will check if the daemon is still alive,
627 and keep waiting if so, otherwise terminate with an error.
629 'imagex unmount --commit' on a read-write mounted WIM will now print
630 progress information regarding the writing of new or modified streams
631 the WIM, just like when capturing or appending a WIM.
633 A small change has been made to XPRESS compression and it should improve
634 the compression ratio slightly.
636 A change was made that may improve performance slightly when applying a
637 WIM image to a NTFS volume.
639 Microsoft has managed to introduce even more bugs into their software,
640 and now the WIMs for Windows 8 have incorrect (too low) reference counts
641 for some streams. This is unsafe because such streams can be removed
642 when they are in actuality still referenced in the WIM (perhaps by a
643 different image). wimlib will now work around this problem by fixing
644 the stream reference counts. This is only done when wimlib_delete_image() is
645 called ('imagex delete') or when wimlib_mount_image() is called with
646 WIMLIB_MOUNT_FLAG_READWRITE ('imagex mountrw'). Please note that this
647 requires reading the metadata for all images in the WIM, so this will
648 make these operations noticably slower on WIMs with multiple images.
650 Various other bugfixes.
653 Appending images to a WIM is now be done by default without re-building
654 the whole WIM. Use the --rebuild flag to get the old behavior (which
655 was to re-build the entire WIM when a new image is appended).
657 A new command `imagex optimize' is now available to manually re-build a
658 WIM that has wasted space due to repeated appends.
660 Progress information has been improved, and now arbitrary callback
661 functions can be used to show the progress of a WIM operation.
663 A possible bug with changing the bootable image of a WIM was fixed.
665 Some advisory locking is now done to prevent two processes from
666 modifying a WIM at the same time (but only in some cases). For example,
667 you cannot mount two images from a WIM read-write at the same time.
669 Some functions have been reorganized:
670 * wimlib_mount() renamed to wimlib_mount_image().
671 * wimlib_unmount() renamed to wimlib_unmount_image().
672 * wimlib_overwrite_xml_and_header() removed as
673 wimlib_overwrite() suffices now.
674 * wimlib_apply_image_to_ntfs_volume() removed as
675 wimlib_extract_image() suffices now.
676 * wimlib_add_image_from_ntfs_volume() removed as
677 * wimlib_add_image() suffices now.
679 Previously, the soname of libwim.so has been 0.0.0, despite many
680 interface changes. The soname is now updated to 1.0.0 and will now be
681 updated each release.
684 Resources will now be compressed using multiple threads by default.
685 (This applies to `imagex capture', `imagex append', and `imagex
688 Some performance improvements in mounted WIMs.
690 More progress information is shown when capturing a WIM.
693 Lots of minor fixes, code cleanups, and some documentation updates.
694 Nothing in particular is really noteworthy.
697 LZX and XPRESS compression improvements.
699 Fixed calculation of Directory Count, File Count, Total Bytes, and Hard
700 Link Bytes of the WIM.
703 Fixed bug when capturing NTFS file with multiple named data streams.
705 Internally, we are now using inode structures, even though these don't
706 appear literally in the WIM file. This simplifies some of the code
707 (mainly for WIM mounting) and likely fixed a few problems, although it
711 Fixed problem when exporting images from XPRESS to LZX compressed WIM or
715 Enough changes to call it version 1.0.0!
717 Capturing a WIM directly from a NTFS volume, and applying a WIM directly
718 to a NTFS volume, is now supported.
720 Hard links and symbolic links have much improved support. They are
721 supported for WIM capture, WIM application, and mounted WIMs (you can
722 even make them on read-write mounted WIMs).
724 Alternate data streams are now supported on mounted WIMs through an
725 xattr or a Windows-style stream interface. Also they are supported when
726 capturing a WIM from NTFS or applying a WIM to NTFS.
728 Split WIMs are better supported. You may now apply an image directly
729 from a split WIM, mount an image from a split WIM read-only, or export
730 an image from a split WIM.
732 Using a capture configuration file is now supported (but not fully yet).
734 SHA1 message digests are checked in more places, so we can make sure
735 applied and captured data is correct.
737 Man pages have been updated and consolidated.
740 Fixed segfault when unmounting read-only WIM.
743 Support for joining and splitting WIMs.
744 Also, security data is now preserved by default.
747 Can now build with older gcc and system headers, like on CentOS 5.
750 Fixed bug that made it impossible to overwrite files in read-write
754 Write byte-order mark before WIM XML data. (imagex.exe requires this to
