2 The library now permits making in-memory changes to a WIMStruct backed
3 by a read-only WIM file.
5 Fixes for "WIMBoot" extraction mode (Windows only):
7 When not using the WOF driver, extraction no longer fails if the
8 disk containing the WIM file has too many partitions.
10 When matching patterns in [PrepopulateList], all hard links of
11 each file are now considered.
13 The system registry files are now automatically treated as being
16 Added a workaround that tries to prevent short filename conflicts. It
17 can have an effect primarily on versions of Windows that do not support
18 removing short names from files (earlier than Windows 7).
21 Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
23 A number of improvements to the Windows port:
25 Fixes for setting short filenames.
27 Faster "WIMBoot" extraction.
29 Updated and slimmed down the dependent DLLs.
31 ACL inheritence bits are now restored.
33 Mandatory integrity labels are now backed up and restored.
35 Added a workaround for an issue where in rare cases, wimlib could create
36 a compressed data stream that could not be read correctly by Windows
37 after an extraction in "WIMBoot" mode.
40 Added file count progress data for
41 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE and
42 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
44 Added support for testing file exclusions via the user-provided
47 Some documentation improvements.
49 Made some clarifications to the license text in the COPYING file.
52 Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
54 The default compression mode for wimcapture is now LZX compression in
55 its default mode, which is the same as '--compress=maximum'.
57 You can now specify an optional integer compression level to the
58 '--compress' option; e.g. '--compress=lzx:75'.
60 Made a minor change to the LZMS compressor and decompressor to fix an
61 incompatibility with the Microsoft implementation. In the unlikely
62 event that you created an LZMS-compressed WIM with wimlib v1.7.0 or
63 earlier and a checksum error is reported when extracting files from it
64 with wimlib v1.7.1, decompress it with v1.7.0 then compress it with
67 Added 'verify' subcommand to wimlib-imagex.
69 Notable library changes:
71 Custom compressor parameters have been removed from the library
72 in favor of the simpler level-based API.
74 Decompressor parameters have been removed entirely.
76 Library users can now specify a custom file for warning and
77 error messages to be sent to, rather than the default of
80 New progress messages:
81 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE,
82 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
84 New function: wimlib_verify_wim().
87 Improved compression, decompression, and extraction performance.
89 Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files:
90 - Add support for reading and writing multiple solid blocks per
91 archive, which WIMGAPI/DISM can create when appending an image.
92 - Correctly create solid blocks larger than 4 GiB.
94 'add' commands passed to wimupdate will now replace existing
95 nondirectory files by default. Use the --no-replace option to get the
98 The license for the library now contains an exception that allows using
99 it under the LGPL. See the COPYING file for details.
101 In reparse-point fixup mode (the default for capture), symbolic links
102 and junctions that point outside the tree being captured are no longer
103 excluded from capture.
105 Added support for "WIMBoot" capture and extraction. See the
106 documentation for the new '--wimboot' option to wimcapture and wimapply
107 for more information.
109 On UNIX-like systems, you can now backup and restore device nodes, named
110 pipes, and sockets. In addition, 32-bit user and group IDs are now
113 The way that UNIX data is stored in WIM files has been changed. If you
114 captured any WIMs with the --unix-data option, to upgrade them you'll
115 need to apply them with --unix-data using wimlib-imagex v1.6.2, then
116 re-capture them with --unix-data using this version.
118 wimlib now understands tagged metadata items, such as object IDs, that
119 can be stored in WIM directory entries.
121 Removed the --hardlink and --symlink options to wimapply, since I don't
122 think they are too useful and they got in the way of improving the code.
124 WIMs will now retain their GUIDs when rebuilt (e.g. with wimoptimize).
126 The 'mkwinpeimg' script now supports writing the ISO image to standard
129 The <ARCH> element in WIM XML data is now exported correctly.
131 On Windows, sparse file attributes are no longer set on extracted files.
132 Oddly enough, this actually saves disk space in some cases.
134 On UNIX, configuring with --disable-xattr or --enable-xattr is no longer
135 supported. Mounting WIM images now always requires extended attribute
136 support. Use --without-fuse to disable support for mounting WIM images;
137 this will also disable the need for extended attribute support.
139 Configuring with --enable-ssse3-sha1 now works correctly.
141 The shared library version has been bumped up. The main
142 incompatibilities are:
144 - WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_XPRESS is now 1 and
145 WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_LZX is now 2 (so it's the same as
148 - User-provided progress functions are now registered using a
149 separate function, wimlib_register_progress_function(). The
150 'progress_func' argument to many functions no longer exists.
152 - The return value from user-provided progress functions is now
155 - A context argument has been added to the prototype of
156 user-provided progress functions.
158 - 'struct wimlib_capture_config' has been removed. The library
159 now takes the path to the configuration file directly. This
160 affects wimlib_add_image(), wimlib_add_image_multisource(),
161 and wimlib_update_image(). However, a NULL value passed in
162 the argument retains the same meaning.
164 - Removed deprecated functions: some (de)compression functions,
165 wimlib_extract_files(), and wimlib_print_metadata().
167 - Removed extraction flags: WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_HARDLINK,
168 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SYMLINK, WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER,
169 and WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL.
171 - Removed some progress messages:
172 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_APPLY_TIMESTAMPS,
173 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_BEGIN,
174 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_END. Numbering
177 - Removed some error codes. Numbering stays the same.
179 - Replaced WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_LAZY with
180 WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_FORCE.
182 - WIM paths passed to progress functions now have a leading
186 Case-insensitive comparisons of strings (e.g. filenames) containing
187 UTF-16 codepoints above 32767 are now done correctly.
189 Fixed build failure on Mac OS X.
191 wimunmount now provides the '--new-image' option to cause changes to a
192 read-write mounted image to be committed as a new image rather than as
193 an update of the mounted image. (The corresponding new library flag is
194 WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_NEW_IMAGE.)
196 The LZMS ("recovery") compression chunk size, or "dictionary size", may
197 now be up to 1 GiB (1,073,741,824 bytes).
199 The performance of LZX ("maximum") and LZMS ("recovery") compression
200 with large chunk sizes has been slightly improved.
203 Stored files with size exactly 4 GiB (4,294,967,296 bytes) are now
204 decompressed correctly.
206 Fixed a bug in the LZX compressor introduced in v1.5.3. The bug
207 occurred in an unlikely case, and due to validity checks it did not
208 affect successfully created archives.
210 Fixed a minor compatibility issue with the LZMS compressor and
211 decompressor. This is *not* the default compression type and was only
212 introduced in v1.6.0. In the unlikely event that you created an
213 LZMS-compressed WIM with v1.6.0 and a checksum error is reported when
214 applying it with v1.6.1, decompress it with v1.6.0 then compress it with
217 Memory usage for LZMS and LZX compression has been decreased.
219 wimextract now allows wildcard characters in paths specified on the
220 command line. Also, the '--strict-wildcards' option has been removed
221 and replaced with the inverse option '--nullglob'. See the
222 documentation for wimextract for more details and changes.
224 The wimlib_extract_files() function is now considered deprecated in
225 favor of wimlib_extract_paths().
227 Fixed more permissions problems when extracting files on Windows.
229 A new '--no-attributes' option has been added to wimapply and
230 wimextract. The library flag is WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_NO_ATTRIBUTES.
232 The default chunk size is now set correctly when changing the
233 compression type of a WIM, for example with 'wimoptimize'.
235 The '--metadata' option to wiminfo has been replaced with the
236 '--detailed' option to wimdir.
238 In relevant wimlib-imagex commands, '--solid' may now be used as an
239 alias for '--pack-streams'.
242 Support for extracting and updating the new version 3584 WIMs has been
243 added. These WIMs typically pack many streams ("files") together into a
244 single compressed resource, thereby saving space. This degrades the
245 performance of random access (such as that which occurs on a mounted
246 image), but optimizations have been implemented for extraction. These
247 new WIM files also typically use a new compression format (LZMS), which
248 is similar to LZMA and can offer a better compression ratio than LZX.
249 These new WIM files can be created using `wimcapture' with
250 the '--compress=lzms --pack-streams' options. Note: this new WIM format
251 is used by the Windows 8 web downloader, but important segments of the
252 raw '.esd' files are encrypted, so wimlib will not be able to extract
253 such files until they are first decrypted.
255 wimlib now supports extracting files and directories from a WIM image
256 based on a "listfile" that itself contains the list of paths to extract.
257 For `wimextract', the syntax is to specify @LISTFILE instead of a PATH,
258 and for the library itself, the new APIs are wimlib_extract_pathlist()
259 and wimlib_extract_paths(). Path globs containing wildcard characters
262 For searching WIM files, wimlib now has configurable case sensitivity.
263 The default on Windows is still case-insensitive and the default on
264 UNIX-like systems is still case-sensitive, but this can be overridden
265 on either platform through flags to wimlib_global_init(). For
266 `wimlib-imagex', the environmental variable WIMLIB_IMAGEX_IGNORE_CASE
267 can be set to 1 or 0 for case-insensitive or case-sensitive behavior,
270 Support for compression chunk sizes greater than the default of 32768
271 bytes has been added. A larger chunk size typically results in a better
272 compression ratio. However, the MS implementation is seemingly not
273 compatible with all chunk sizes, especially for LZX compression, so the
274 defaults remain unchanged, with the exception of the new LZMS-compressed
275 WIMs, which use a larger chunk size by default.
277 The compression/decompression API exported by wimlib has been changed.
278 Now one set of functions handles all supported compression formats.
280 `wimcapture' and `wimappend' will now display the progress of scanning
281 the directory tree to capture, in addition to the progress of writing
282 data to the WIM. The '--verbose' option no longer does anything. The
283 library API change for this is the addition of several members to
284 `struct wimlib_progress_info_scan' available to progress callbacks.
286 `mkwinpeimg' now correctly handles the '--start-script' option when the
287 start script is not in the working directory.
289 Sequential extraction, previously requested by using
290 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL, is now the default.
291 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER can be used to get the old default
292 behavior (extract in file order).
295 The new LZX compressor added in v1.5.2 has been improved and is now
296 enabled by default, except when `wimcapture' or `wimappend' is run
297 *without* the '--compress' option, in which case the faster LZX
298 compressor is used (the same as before). This behavior is reasonably
299 consistent with ImageX which actually uses "fast" (XPRESS) compression
300 by default. In those cases, use '--compress=maximum' to explicitly
301 capture a WIM image using the new (slower but better) LZX compressor.
303 The '--compress-slow' option still exists to `wimlib-imagex optimize',
304 but its new behavior is to tweak the new LZX compressor even more to
305 produce an even better compression ratio at the cost of more time spent
308 `wimlib-imagex optimize' now supports the '--compress=TYPE' option,
309 which recompresses the WIM file using the specified compression TYPE.
310 The new library API function used for this is
311 wimlib_set_output_compression_type().
313 Added the wimlib_get_xml_data() function to allow library clients to
314 easily retrieve the raw XML data from a WIM file if needed.
316 Fixed a bug that could cause an error code to be incorrectly returned
317 when writing XML data containing a <WINDOWS> element.
319 Mounted WIM images will now correctly show the default file stream even
320 if appears in the alternate data stream entries of the corresponding WIM
324 Added a new experimental LZX compressor which can be enabled by passing
325 '--compress-slow' to `wimlib-imagex capture' or `wimlib-imagex
326 optimize'. (The latter is only applicable if the WIM is already
327 LZX-compressed and the '--recompress' option is also given.) The
328 experimental compressor is much slower but compresses the data slightly
329 more --- currently usually to within a fraction of a percent of the
330 results from WIMGAPI/ImageX.
332 A workaround has been added for compatibility with versions of WinPE
333 that interpret alternate data stream entries in the boot WIM
336 An alignment bug that caused a crash in the LZX decompressor on some
339 wimlib now attempts to clear the WIM_HDR_FLAG_WRITE_IN_PROGRESS flag in
340 the WIM header when restoring the previous state of a WIM it failed to
343 Added a workaround to avoid an access denied error on Windows when
344 replacing a WIM file that another process has opened.
347 wimlib can now open WinPE WIMs from WAIK v2.1, which had a quirk that
348 needed to be handled.
350 A bug in the interpretation of negative IMAGE indices in the
351 --update-of=[WIMFILE:]IMAGE option to `wimlib-imagex capture' and
352 `wimlib-imagex append' has been fixed.
354 A workaround has been added to successfully apply security descriptors
355 with empty DACLs when the NTFS-3g apply mode is being used with NTFS-3g
356 2013.1.13 or earlier.
358 `wimlib-imagex capture' can now accept the '--delta-from' option
362 Added support for "pipable" WIMs. Pipable WIMs allow capturing images
363 to standard output and applying images from standard input, but they are
364 not compatible with Microsoft's software and are not created by default.
365 See the documentation for --pipable flag of `wimlib-imagex capture' for
368 To better support incremental backups, added support for declaring an
369 image as a modified form of another image. See the documentation for
370 the '--update-of' option of `wimlib-imagex append' and `wimlib-imagex
373 Added supported for "delta" WIMs. See the documentation for the
374 '--delta-from' option of `wimlib-imagex capture'.
376 The library support for managing split WIMs has been changed to support
377 other arrangements, such as delta WIMs, and be easier to use. This
378 change is visible in `wimlib-imagex', which also can now accept the
379 '--ref' option multiple times, and also now supports "delta" WIMs as
382 wimlib now preserves WIM integrity tables by default, even if
383 WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not specified. This changes the
384 behavior of `wimlib-imagex' whenever the WIM being operated on contains
385 an integrity table and the '--check' option is not specified.
387 `wimlib-imagex capture' now creates LZX-compressed WIMs by default
388 (when --compress is not specified). This provides the best compression
389 ratio by default, which is usually what is desired, at a cost of some
392 `wimlib-imagex' now supports being invoked as wimCOMMAND, where COMMAND
393 is the command as in `wimlib-imagex COMMAND'; for example, it can be
394 invoked as `wimapply' as an alternative to `wimlib-imagex apply'. The
395 appropriate hard links are created in UNIX installations of
396 `wimlib-imagex', while for the Windows distribution of `wimlib-imagex',
397 batch files that emulate this behavior are generated.
399 Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows.
401 Fixed archiving DOS names in NTFS-3g capture mode.
403 The extraction code has been rewritten and it will now be easier to
404 support new features on all supported backends (currently Win32, UNIX,
405 and NTFS-3g). For example, hard-linked extraction mode (--hardlink) is
406 now supported on all backends, not just UNIX.
408 `mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather
409 than the WAIK itself.
411 wimlib_global_init() now, by default, attempts to acquire additional
412 privileges on Windows, so library clients need not do this.
414 This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it is
415 not binary compatibible with previous releases.
418 Fixed bug in `wimlib-imagex export' that made it impossible to export an
419 image from a WIM that is readonly at the filesystem level.
421 Return error code rather than segfaulting when trying to list files from
422 a non-first part of a split WIM.
424 Joining a WIM will now preserve the RP_FIX and READONLY flags.
427 On Windows, paths given to wimlib-imagex are now treated case
430 Improved behavior regarding invalid filenames; in particular, on
431 Windows, wimlib-imagex will, when extracting, now omit (with an option
432 to override this default) filenames differing only in case, or filenames
433 containing characters not valid on Windows.
435 On Windows, wimlib now supports capturing and extracting long paths
436 (longer than the so-called MAX_PATH).
438 On Windows, `wimlib-imagex update' now acquires proper privileges when
439 running as an Administrator.
441 `wimlib-imagex update' will now complain if no image is specified when
442 trying to update a multi-image WIM.
444 `wimlib-imagex update' now supports specifying a single update command
445 directly on the command line using the --command option.
447 wimlib-imagex will now choose different units for progress messages,
448 depending on the amount of data that needs to be processed.
450 `wimlib-imagex append' will now generate a unique WIM image name if no
451 name is specified and the defaulted name already exists in the WIM.
453 wimlib now allows you to create unnamed WIM images, which can then only
454 be referred to by index.
456 wimlib now allows you to explicitly declare you want write access to a
457 WIM by providing the WIMLIB_OPEN_FLAG_WRITE_ACCESS flag to
460 wimlib now respects the WIM_HDR_FLAG_READONLY flag when set in the WIM
463 Progress callbacks have been added to wimlib's wimlib_update_image()
466 Added wimlib_get_wim_info(), wimlib_set_wim_info(),
467 wimlib_iterate_dir_tree(), and wimlib_iterate_lookup_table() functions
470 NTFS-3g capture now only warns about two conditions previously treated
473 Fixed a couple issues with using wimlib-imagex on UDF filesystems on
476 wimlib now correctly detects and returns an error when reading a WIM
477 image with a cyclic directory structure. (Fun fact: such a WIM will
478 crash Microsoft's software.)
481 Added new "extract" and "update" subcommands to wimlib-imagex, along
482 with associated APIs in the library. These commands are intended mainly
483 for Windows use but can be used on UNIX as well.
485 Many documentation improvements.
487 Fixed a bug in the Windows build where relative symbolic links were not
488 captured in reparse-point fixup mode.
490 Fixed a bug in the Windows build where file handles were left open to
491 the WIM file, causing `wimlib_imagex optimize' to fail in some cases.
493 Fixed a bug in the Windows build of wimlib-imagex where globbing
494 split-WIM parts could cause the program to crash.
496 Fixed a bug where the creation time of WIM images would be shown instead
497 of the last modification time.
499 With the Windows build it is now possible to restore a WIM containing
500 symbolic links as a non-Administrator; however you will receive warnings
501 about not being able to extract the symbolic links.
504 Capturing a WIM image should now be significantly faster in most cases
505 due to improved use of the operating system's cache and avoiding reading
506 files twice whenever possible.
508 The Windows build should now work on Windows XP.
510 The Windows build now supports capturing and restoring hidden,
511 compressed, sparse, and encrypted files.
513 The Windows build now supports capturing and applying WIM images from
514 filesystems other than NTFS (with some reduced functionality).
516 The Windows build now extracts short names correctly.
518 Added support for "reparse-point" fixups (i.e. fixing up of symbolic
519 links). See docs for --rpfix and --norpfix flags of `wimlib-imagex
520 capture' and `wimlib-imagex apply'.
522 The performance of splitting and joining WIMs should be slightly
525 The LZX and XPRESS compression and decompression functions are now
526 exported from the library.
529 Improvements and bugfixes for the Windows build.
531 Added --strict-acls options.
533 Fixed the way that wimlib determines the order of images in the WIM.
536 Since wimlib can now be used on Windows, wimlib's implementation of
537 ImageX has been renamed to wimlib-imagex to avoid confusion with
538 Microsoft's implementation of ImageX, which would have the same file
539 name ("imagex.exe"). If you really don't like this you can pass the
540 --with-imagex-progname option to `configure' to choose a different name,
541 or even simply rename the binary yourself (but the former way will
542 configure the man pages to use the chosen name).
544 Various bugs fixed in the Windows build. Mainly to do with capturing
545 and restoring alternate data streams correctly in weird cases, and
546 requesting the correct privileges when opening files. Also added the
547 --noacls options to wimlib-imagex capture, append, and apply.
549 Windows build again: FindFirstStreamW() and FindNextStreamW() are now
550 dynamically loaded, so this may make the library compatible with Windows
551 XP (however, there may still be other problems).
554 Added experimental support for native Windows builds. Binaries can be
555 downloaded from the SourceForge page.
557 --source-list option added to `imagex capture' and `imagex append'.
559 Better support for different character encodings.
562 Storing UNIX file owners, groups, and modes in WIM images is now
563 possible using `imagex capture' with the --unix-data flag.
565 Minor bug fixes and documentation fixes.
568 NTFS capture: Fixed capturing duplicate reparse points.
570 NTFS capture: Capture first unnamed stream if there are more than one
571 (print warning instead of error).
573 Allow multiple test cases to execute concurrently (e.g. make -j2 check).
576 Added --arch switch to mkwinpeimg script to support getting AMD64 WinPE
579 Update to work with ntfs-3g version 2013.1.13.
582 Fixed truncating file to shorter but non-zero length on read-write
585 Various code cleanups and minor documentation fixes.
588 LZX and XPRESS decompression have received some additional optimizations
589 and should now be even faster. (Although, they were already pretty
590 fast--- much faster than typical I/O speeds.)
592 Fixed a bug introduced in v1.2.1 that would cause a directory tree
593 containing hard links to be captured incorrectly in some cases.
596 By default, unmounting a read-write mounted WIM with 'imagex unmount
597 --commit' will now change the WIM in-place without needing to write the
598 entire WIM again. Use 'imagex unmount --commit --rebuild' to get the
601 'imagex unmount' no longer has a hard-coded limit of 10 minutes to wait
602 for a response from the daemon servicing the mounted WIM. Instead,
603 every second 'imagex unmount' will check if the daemon is still alive,
604 and keep waiting if so, otherwise terminate with an error.
606 'imagex unmount --commit' on a read-write mounted WIM will now print
607 progress information regarding the writing of new or modified streams
608 the WIM, just like when capturing or appending a WIM.
610 A small change has been made to XPRESS compression and it should improve
611 the compression ratio slightly.
613 A change was made that may improve performance slightly when applying a
614 WIM image to a NTFS volume.
616 Microsoft has managed to introduce even more bugs into their software,
617 and now the WIMs for Windows 8 have incorrect (too low) reference counts
618 for some streams. This is unsafe because such streams can be removed
619 when they are in actuality still referenced in the WIM (perhaps by a
620 different image). wimlib will now work around this problem by fixing
621 the stream reference counts. This is only done when wimlib_delete_image() is
622 called ('imagex delete') or when wimlib_mount_image() is called with
623 WIMLIB_MOUNT_FLAG_READWRITE ('imagex mountrw'). Please note that this
624 requires reading the metadata for all images in the WIM, so this will
625 make these operations noticably slower on WIMs with multiple images.
627 Various other bugfixes.
630 Appending images to a WIM is now be done by default without re-building
631 the whole WIM. Use the --rebuild flag to get the old behavior (which
632 was to re-build the entire WIM when a new image is appended).
634 A new command `imagex optimize' is now available to manually re-build a
635 WIM that has wasted space due to repeated appends.
637 Progress information has been improved, and now arbitrary callback
638 functions can be used to show the progress of a WIM operation.
640 A possible bug with changing the bootable image of a WIM was fixed.
642 Some advisory locking is now done to prevent two processes from
643 modifying a WIM at the same time (but only in some cases). For example,
644 you cannot mount two images from a WIM read-write at the same time.
646 Some functions have been reorganized:
647 * wimlib_mount() renamed to wimlib_mount_image().
648 * wimlib_unmount() renamed to wimlib_unmount_image().
649 * wimlib_overwrite_xml_and_header() removed as
650 wimlib_overwrite() suffices now.
651 * wimlib_apply_image_to_ntfs_volume() removed as
652 wimlib_extract_image() suffices now.
653 * wimlib_add_image_from_ntfs_volume() removed as
654 * wimlib_add_image() suffices now.
656 Previously, the soname of libwim.so has been 0.0.0, despite many
657 interface changes. The soname is now updated to 1.0.0 and will now be
658 updated each release.
661 Resources will now be compressed using multiple threads by default.
662 (This applies to `imagex capture', `imagex append', and `imagex
665 Some performance improvements in mounted WIMs.
667 More progress information is shown when capturing a WIM.
670 Lots of minor fixes, code cleanups, and some documentation updates.
671 Nothing in particular is really noteworthy.
674 LZX and XPRESS compression improvements.
676 Fixed calculation of Directory Count, File Count, Total Bytes, and Hard
677 Link Bytes of the WIM.
680 Fixed bug when capturing NTFS file with multiple named data streams.
682 Internally, we are now using inode structures, even though these don't
683 appear literally in the WIM file. This simplifies some of the code
684 (mainly for WIM mounting) and likely fixed a few problems, although it
688 Fixed problem when exporting images from XPRESS to LZX compressed WIM or
692 Enough changes to call it version 1.0.0!
694 Capturing a WIM directly from a NTFS volume, and applying a WIM directly
695 to a NTFS volume, is now supported.
697 Hard links and symbolic links have much improved support. They are
698 supported for WIM capture, WIM application, and mounted WIMs (you can
699 even make them on read-write mounted WIMs).
701 Alternate data streams are now supported on mounted WIMs through an
702 xattr or a Windows-style stream interface. Also they are supported when
703 capturing a WIM from NTFS or applying a WIM to NTFS.
705 Split WIMs are better supported. You may now apply an image directly
706 from a split WIM, mount an image from a split WIM read-only, or export
707 an image from a split WIM.
709 Using a capture configuration file is now supported (but not fully yet).
711 SHA1 message digests are checked in more places, so we can make sure
712 applied and captured data is correct.
714 Man pages have been updated and consolidated.
717 Fixed segfault when unmounting read-only WIM.
720 Support for joining and splitting WIMs.
721 Also, security data is now preserved by default.
724 Can now build with older gcc and system headers, like on CentOS 5.
727 Fixed bug that made it impossible to overwrite files in read-write
731 Write byte-order mark before WIM XML data. (imagex.exe requires this to
