2 Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
4 Fixes for setting short names on Windows.
6 Faster "WIMBoot" extraction on Windows.
8 Updated dependent DLLs in Windows release. libxml2 is slimmed down.
10 ACL inheritance bits are now restored on Windows.
13 Added file count progress data for
14 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE and
15 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
17 Added support for testing file exclusions via the user-provided
20 Some documentation improvements.
23 Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
25 The default compression mode for wimcapture is now LZX compression in
26 its default mode, which is the same as '--compress=maximum'.
28 You can now specify an optional integer compression level to the
29 '--compress' option; e.g. '--compress=lzx:75'.
31 Made a minor change to the LZMS compressor and decompressor to fix an
32 incompatibility with the Microsoft implementation. In the unlikely
33 event that you created an LZMS-compressed WIM with wimlib v1.7.0 or
34 earlier and a checksum error is reported when extracting files from it
35 with wimlib v1.7.1, decompress it with v1.7.0 then compress it with
38 Added 'verify' subcommand to wimlib-imagex.
40 Notable library changes:
42 Custom compressor parameters have been removed from the library
43 in favor of the simpler level-based API.
45 Decompressor parameters have been removed entirely.
47 Library users can now specify a custom file for warning and
48 error messages to be sent to, rather than the default of
51 New progress messages:
52 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE,
53 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
55 New function: wimlib_verify_wim().
58 Improved compression, decompression, and extraction performance.
60 Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files:
61 - Add support for reading and writing multiple solid blocks per
62 archive, which WIMGAPI/DISM can create when appending an image.
63 - Correctly create solid blocks larger than 4 GiB.
65 'add' commands passed to wimupdate will now replace existing
66 nondirectory files by default. Use the --no-replace option to get the
69 The license for the library now contains an exception that allows using
70 it under the LGPL. See the COPYING file for details.
72 In reparse-point fixup mode (the default for capture), symbolic links
73 and junctions that point outside the tree being captured are no longer
74 excluded from capture.
76 Added support for "WIMBoot" capture and extraction. See the
77 documentation for the new '--wimboot' option to wimcapture and wimapply
80 On UNIX-like systems, you can now backup and restore device nodes, named
81 pipes, and sockets. In addition, 32-bit user and group IDs are now
84 The way that UNIX data is stored in WIM files has been changed. If you
85 captured any WIMs with the --unix-data option, to upgrade them you'll
86 need to apply them with --unix-data using wimlib-imagex v1.6.2, then
87 re-capture them with --unix-data using this version.
89 wimlib now understands tagged metadata items, such as object IDs, that
90 can be stored in WIM directory entries.
92 Removed the --hardlink and --symlink options to wimapply, since I don't
93 think they are too useful and they got in the way of improving the code.
95 WIMs will now retain their GUIDs when rebuilt (e.g. with wimoptimize).
97 The 'mkwinpeimg' script now supports writing the ISO image to standard
100 The <ARCH> element in WIM XML data is now exported correctly.
102 On Windows, sparse file attributes are no longer set on extracted files.
103 Oddly enough, this actually saves disk space in some cases.
105 On UNIX, configuring with --disable-xattr or --enable-xattr is no longer
106 supported. Mounting WIM images now always requires extended attribute
107 support. Use --without-fuse to disable support for mounting WIM images;
108 this will also disable the need for extended attribute support.
110 Configuring with --enable-ssse3-sha1 now works correctly.
112 The shared library version has been bumped up. The main
113 incompatibilities are:
115 - WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_XPRESS is now 1 and
116 WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_LZX is now 2 (so it's the same as
119 - User-provided progress functions are now registered using a
120 separate function, wimlib_register_progress_function(). The
121 'progress_func' argument to many functions no longer exists.
123 - The return value from user-provided progress functions is now
126 - A context argument has been added to the prototype of
127 user-provided progress functions.
129 - 'struct wimlib_capture_config' has been removed. The library
130 now takes the path to the configuration file directly. This
131 affects wimlib_add_image(), wimlib_add_image_multisource(),
132 and wimlib_update_image(). However, a NULL value passed in
133 the argument retains the same meaning.
135 - Removed deprecated functions: some (de)compression functions,
136 wimlib_extract_files(), and wimlib_print_metadata().
138 - Removed extraction flags: WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_HARDLINK,
139 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SYMLINK, WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER,
140 and WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL.
142 - Removed some progress messages:
143 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_APPLY_TIMESTAMPS,
144 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_BEGIN,
145 WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_END. Numbering
148 - Removed some error codes. Numbering stays the same.
150 - Replaced WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_LAZY with
151 WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_FORCE.
153 - WIM paths passed to progress functions now have a leading
157 Case-insensitive comparisons of strings (e.g. filenames) containing
158 UTF-16 codepoints above 32767 are now done correctly.
160 Fixed build failure on Mac OS X.
162 wimunmount now provides the '--new-image' option to cause changes to a
163 read-write mounted image to be committed as a new image rather than as
164 an update of the mounted image. (The corresponding new library flag is
165 WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_NEW_IMAGE.)
167 The LZMS ("recovery") compression chunk size, or "dictionary size", may
168 now be up to 1 GiB (1,073,741,824 bytes).
170 The performance of LZX ("maximum") and LZMS ("recovery") compression
171 with large chunk sizes has been slightly improved.
174 Stored files with size exactly 4 GiB (4,294,967,296 bytes) are now
175 decompressed correctly.
177 Fixed a bug in the LZX compressor introduced in v1.5.3. The bug
178 occurred in an unlikely case, and due to validity checks it did not
179 affect successfully created archives.
181 Fixed a minor compatibility issue with the LZMS compressor and
182 decompressor. This is *not* the default compression type and was only
183 introduced in v1.6.0. In the unlikely event that you created an
184 LZMS-compressed WIM with v1.6.0 and a checksum error is reported when
185 applying it with v1.6.1, decompress it with v1.6.0 then compress it with
188 Memory usage for LZMS and LZX compression has been decreased.
190 wimextract now allows wildcard characters in paths specified on the
191 command line. Also, the '--strict-wildcards' option has been removed
192 and replaced with the inverse option '--nullglob'. See the
193 documentation for wimextract for more details and changes.
195 The wimlib_extract_files() function is now considered deprecated in
196 favor of wimlib_extract_paths().
198 Fixed more permissions problems when extracting files on Windows.
200 A new '--no-attributes' option has been added to wimapply and
201 wimextract. The library flag is WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_NO_ATTRIBUTES.
203 The default chunk size is now set correctly when changing the
204 compression type of a WIM, for example with 'wimoptimize'.
206 The '--metadata' option to wiminfo has been replaced with the
207 '--detailed' option to wimdir.
209 In relevant wimlib-imagex commands, '--solid' may now be used as an
210 alias for '--pack-streams'.
213 Support for extracting and updating the new version 3584 WIMs has been
214 added. These WIMs typically pack many streams ("files") together into a
215 single compressed resource, thereby saving space. This degrades the
216 performance of random access (such as that which occurs on a mounted
217 image), but optimizations have been implemented for extraction. These
218 new WIM files also typically use a new compression format (LZMS), which
219 is similar to LZMA and can offer a better compression ratio than LZX.
220 These new WIM files can be created using `wimcapture' with
221 the '--compress=lzms --pack-streams' options. Note: this new WIM format
222 is used by the Windows 8 web downloader, but important segments of the
223 raw '.esd' files are encrypted, so wimlib will not be able to extract
224 such files until they are first decrypted.
226 wimlib now supports extracting files and directories from a WIM image
227 based on a "listfile" that itself contains the list of paths to extract.
228 For `wimextract', the syntax is to specify @LISTFILE instead of a PATH,
229 and for the library itself, the new APIs are wimlib_extract_pathlist()
230 and wimlib_extract_paths(). Path globs containing wildcard characters
233 For searching WIM files, wimlib now has configurable case sensitivity.
234 The default on Windows is still case-insensitive and the default on
235 UNIX-like systems is still case-sensitive, but this can be overridden
236 on either platform through flags to wimlib_global_init(). For
237 `wimlib-imagex', the environmental variable WIMLIB_IMAGEX_IGNORE_CASE
238 can be set to 1 or 0 for case-insensitive or case-sensitive behavior,
241 Support for compression chunk sizes greater than the default of 32768
242 bytes has been added. A larger chunk size typically results in a better
243 compression ratio. However, the MS implementation is seemingly not
244 compatible with all chunk sizes, especially for LZX compression, so the
245 defaults remain unchanged, with the exception of the new LZMS-compressed
246 WIMs, which use a larger chunk size by default.
248 The compression/decompression API exported by wimlib has been changed.
249 Now one set of functions handles all supported compression formats.
251 `wimcapture' and `wimappend' will now display the progress of scanning
252 the directory tree to capture, in addition to the progress of writing
253 data to the WIM. The '--verbose' option no longer does anything. The
254 library API change for this is the addition of several members to
255 `struct wimlib_progress_info_scan' available to progress callbacks.
257 `mkwinpeimg' now correctly handles the '--start-script' option when the
258 start script is not in the working directory.
260 Sequential extraction, previously requested by using
261 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL, is now the default.
262 WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER can be used to get the old default
263 behavior (extract in file order).
266 The new LZX compressor added in v1.5.2 has been improved and is now
267 enabled by default, except when `wimcapture' or `wimappend' is run
268 *without* the '--compress' option, in which case the faster LZX
269 compressor is used (the same as before). This behavior is reasonably
270 consistent with ImageX which actually uses "fast" (XPRESS) compression
271 by default. In those cases, use '--compress=maximum' to explicitly
272 capture a WIM image using the new (slower but better) LZX compressor.
274 The '--compress-slow' option still exists to `wimlib-imagex optimize',
275 but its new behavior is to tweak the new LZX compressor even more to
276 produce an even better compression ratio at the cost of more time spent
279 `wimlib-imagex optimize' now supports the '--compress=TYPE' option,
280 which recompresses the WIM file using the specified compression TYPE.
281 The new library API function used for this is
282 wimlib_set_output_compression_type().
284 Added the wimlib_get_xml_data() function to allow library clients to
285 easily retrieve the raw XML data from a WIM file if needed.
287 Fixed a bug that could cause an error code to be incorrectly returned
288 when writing XML data containing a <WINDOWS> element.
290 Mounted WIM images will now correctly show the default file stream even
291 if appears in the alternate data stream entries of the corresponding WIM
295 Added a new experimental LZX compressor which can be enabled by passing
296 '--compress-slow' to `wimlib-imagex capture' or `wimlib-imagex
297 optimize'. (The latter is only applicable if the WIM is already
298 LZX-compressed and the '--recompress' option is also given.) The
299 experimental compressor is much slower but compresses the data slightly
300 more --- currently usually to within a fraction of a percent of the
301 results from WIMGAPI/ImageX.
303 A workaround has been added for compatibility with versions of WinPE
304 that interpret alternate data stream entries in the boot WIM
307 An alignment bug that caused a crash in the LZX decompressor on some
310 wimlib now attempts to clear the WIM_HDR_FLAG_WRITE_IN_PROGRESS flag in
311 the WIM header when restoring the previous state of a WIM it failed to
314 Added a workaround to avoid an access denied error on Windows when
315 replacing a WIM file that another process has opened.
318 wimlib can now open WinPE WIMs from WAIK v2.1, which had a quirk that
319 needed to be handled.
321 A bug in the interpretation of negative IMAGE indices in the
322 --update-of=[WIMFILE:]IMAGE option to `wimlib-imagex capture' and
323 `wimlib-imagex append' has been fixed.
325 A workaround has been added to successfully apply security descriptors
326 with empty DACLs when the NTFS-3g apply mode is being used with NTFS-3g
327 2013.1.13 or earlier.
329 `wimlib-imagex capture' can now accept the '--delta-from' option
333 Added support for "pipable" WIMs. Pipable WIMs allow capturing images
334 to standard output and applying images from standard input, but they are
335 not compatible with Microsoft's software and are not created by default.
336 See the documentation for --pipable flag of `wimlib-imagex capture' for
339 To better support incremental backups, added support for declaring an
340 image as a modified form of another image. See the documentation for
341 the '--update-of' option of `wimlib-imagex append' and `wimlib-imagex
344 Added supported for "delta" WIMs. See the documentation for the
345 '--delta-from' option of `wimlib-imagex capture'.
347 The library support for managing split WIMs has been changed to support
348 other arrangements, such as delta WIMs, and be easier to use. This
349 change is visible in `wimlib-imagex', which also can now accept the
350 '--ref' option multiple times, and also now supports "delta" WIMs as
353 wimlib now preserves WIM integrity tables by default, even if
354 WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not specified. This changes the
355 behavior of `wimlib-imagex' whenever the WIM being operated on contains
356 an integrity table and the '--check' option is not specified.
358 `wimlib-imagex capture' now creates LZX-compressed WIMs by default
359 (when --compress is not specified). This provides the best compression
360 ratio by default, which is usually what is desired, at a cost of some
363 `wimlib-imagex' now supports being invoked as wimCOMMAND, where COMMAND
364 is the command as in `wimlib-imagex COMMAND'; for example, it can be
365 invoked as `wimapply' as an alternative to `wimlib-imagex apply'. The
366 appropriate hard links are created in UNIX installations of
367 `wimlib-imagex', while for the Windows distribution of `wimlib-imagex',
368 batch files that emulate this behavior are generated.
370 Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows.
372 Fixed archiving DOS names in NTFS-3g capture mode.
374 The extraction code has been rewritten and it will now be easier to
375 support new features on all supported backends (currently Win32, UNIX,
376 and NTFS-3g). For example, hard-linked extraction mode (--hardlink) is
377 now supported on all backends, not just UNIX.
379 `mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather
380 than the WAIK itself.
382 wimlib_global_init() now, by default, attempts to acquire additional
383 privileges on Windows, so library clients need not do this.
385 This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it is
386 not binary compatibible with previous releases.
389 Fixed bug in `wimlib-imagex export' that made it impossible to export an
390 image from a WIM that is readonly at the filesystem level.
392 Return error code rather than segfaulting when trying to list files from
393 a non-first part of a split WIM.
395 Joining a WIM will now preserve the RP_FIX and READONLY flags.
398 On Windows, paths given to wimlib-imagex are now treated case
401 Improved behavior regarding invalid filenames; in particular, on
402 Windows, wimlib-imagex will, when extracting, now omit (with an option
403 to override this default) filenames differing only in case, or filenames
404 containing characters not valid on Windows.
406 On Windows, wimlib now supports capturing and extracting long paths
407 (longer than the so-called MAX_PATH).
409 On Windows, `wimlib-imagex update' now acquires proper privileges when
410 running as an Administrator.
412 `wimlib-imagex update' will now complain if no image is specified when
413 trying to update a multi-image WIM.
415 `wimlib-imagex update' now supports specifying a single update command
416 directly on the command line using the --command option.
418 wimlib-imagex will now choose different units for progress messages,
419 depending on the amount of data that needs to be processed.
421 `wimlib-imagex append' will now generate a unique WIM image name if no
422 name is specified and the defaulted name already exists in the WIM.
424 wimlib now allows you to create unnamed WIM images, which can then only
425 be referred to by index.
427 wimlib now allows you to explicitly declare you want write access to a
428 WIM by providing the WIMLIB_OPEN_FLAG_WRITE_ACCESS flag to
431 wimlib now respects the WIM_HDR_FLAG_READONLY flag when set in the WIM
434 Progress callbacks have been added to wimlib's wimlib_update_image()
437 Added wimlib_get_wim_info(), wimlib_set_wim_info(),
438 wimlib_iterate_dir_tree(), and wimlib_iterate_lookup_table() functions
441 NTFS-3g capture now only warns about two conditions previously treated
444 Fixed a couple issues with using wimlib-imagex on UDF filesystems on
447 wimlib now correctly detects and returns an error when reading a WIM
448 image with a cyclic directory structure. (Fun fact: such a WIM will
449 crash Microsoft's software.)
452 Added new "extract" and "update" subcommands to wimlib-imagex, along
453 with associated APIs in the library. These commands are intended mainly
454 for Windows use but can be used on UNIX as well.
456 Many documentation improvements.
458 Fixed a bug in the Windows build where relative symbolic links were not
459 captured in reparse-point fixup mode.
461 Fixed a bug in the Windows build where file handles were left open to
462 the WIM file, causing `wimlib_imagex optimize' to fail in some cases.
464 Fixed a bug in the Windows build of wimlib-imagex where globbing
465 split-WIM parts could cause the program to crash.
467 Fixed a bug where the creation time of WIM images would be shown instead
468 of the last modification time.
470 With the Windows build it is now possible to restore a WIM containing
471 symbolic links as a non-Administrator; however you will receive warnings
472 about not being able to extract the symbolic links.
475 Capturing a WIM image should now be significantly faster in most cases
476 due to improved use of the operating system's cache and avoiding reading
477 files twice whenever possible.
479 The Windows build should now work on Windows XP.
481 The Windows build now supports capturing and restoring hidden,
482 compressed, sparse, and encrypted files.
484 The Windows build now supports capturing and applying WIM images from
485 filesystems other than NTFS (with some reduced functionality).
487 The Windows build now extracts short names correctly.
489 Added support for "reparse-point" fixups (i.e. fixing up of symbolic
490 links). See docs for --rpfix and --norpfix flags of `wimlib-imagex
491 capture' and `wimlib-imagex apply'.
493 The performance of splitting and joining WIMs should be slightly
496 The LZX and XPRESS compression and decompression functions are now
497 exported from the library.
500 Improvements and bugfixes for the Windows build.
502 Added --strict-acls options.
504 Fixed the way that wimlib determines the order of images in the WIM.
507 Since wimlib can now be used on Windows, wimlib's implementation of
508 ImageX has been renamed to wimlib-imagex to avoid confusion with
509 Microsoft's implementation of ImageX, which would have the same file
510 name ("imagex.exe"). If you really don't like this you can pass the
511 --with-imagex-progname option to `configure' to choose a different name,
512 or even simply rename the binary yourself (but the former way will
513 configure the man pages to use the chosen name).
515 Various bugs fixed in the Windows build. Mainly to do with capturing
516 and restoring alternate data streams correctly in weird cases, and
517 requesting the correct privileges when opening files. Also added the
518 --noacls options to wimlib-imagex capture, append, and apply.
520 Windows build again: FindFirstStreamW() and FindNextStreamW() are now
521 dynamically loaded, so this may make the library compatible with Windows
522 XP (however, there may still be other problems).
525 Added experimental support for native Windows builds. Binaries can be
526 downloaded from the SourceForge page.
528 --source-list option added to `imagex capture' and `imagex append'.
530 Better support for different character encodings.
533 Storing UNIX file owners, groups, and modes in WIM images is now
534 possible using `imagex capture' with the --unix-data flag.
536 Minor bug fixes and documentation fixes.
539 NTFS capture: Fixed capturing duplicate reparse points.
541 NTFS capture: Capture first unnamed stream if there are more than one
542 (print warning instead of error).
544 Allow multiple test cases to execute concurrently (e.g. make -j2 check).
547 Added --arch switch to mkwinpeimg script to support getting AMD64 WinPE
550 Update to work with ntfs-3g version 2013.1.13.
553 Fixed truncating file to shorter but non-zero length on read-write
556 Various code cleanups and minor documentation fixes.
559 LZX and XPRESS decompression have received some additional optimizations
560 and should now be even faster. (Although, they were already pretty
561 fast--- much faster than typical I/O speeds.)
563 Fixed a bug introduced in v1.2.1 that would cause a directory tree
564 containing hard links to be captured incorrectly in some cases.
567 By default, unmounting a read-write mounted WIM with 'imagex unmount
568 --commit' will now change the WIM in-place without needing to write the
569 entire WIM again. Use 'imagex unmount --commit --rebuild' to get the
572 'imagex unmount' no longer has a hard-coded limit of 10 minutes to wait
573 for a response from the daemon servicing the mounted WIM. Instead,
574 every second 'imagex unmount' will check if the daemon is still alive,
575 and keep waiting if so, otherwise terminate with an error.
577 'imagex unmount --commit' on a read-write mounted WIM will now print
578 progress information regarding the writing of new or modified streams
579 the WIM, just like when capturing or appending a WIM.
581 A small change has been made to XPRESS compression and it should improve
582 the compression ratio slightly.
584 A change was made that may improve performance slightly when applying a
585 WIM image to a NTFS volume.
587 Microsoft has managed to introduce even more bugs into their software,
588 and now the WIMs for Windows 8 have incorrect (too low) reference counts
589 for some streams. This is unsafe because such streams can be removed
590 when they are in actuality still referenced in the WIM (perhaps by a
591 different image). wimlib will now work around this problem by fixing
592 the stream reference counts. This is only done when wimlib_delete_image() is
593 called ('imagex delete') or when wimlib_mount_image() is called with
594 WIMLIB_MOUNT_FLAG_READWRITE ('imagex mountrw'). Please note that this
595 requires reading the metadata for all images in the WIM, so this will
596 make these operations noticably slower on WIMs with multiple images.
598 Various other bugfixes.
601 Appending images to a WIM is now be done by default without re-building
602 the whole WIM. Use the --rebuild flag to get the old behavior (which
603 was to re-build the entire WIM when a new image is appended).
605 A new command `imagex optimize' is now available to manually re-build a
606 WIM that has wasted space due to repeated appends.
608 Progress information has been improved, and now arbitrary callback
609 functions can be used to show the progress of a WIM operation.
611 A possible bug with changing the bootable image of a WIM was fixed.
613 Some advisory locking is now done to prevent two processes from
614 modifying a WIM at the same time (but only in some cases). For example,
615 you cannot mount two images from a WIM read-write at the same time.
617 Some functions have been reorganized:
618 * wimlib_mount() renamed to wimlib_mount_image().
619 * wimlib_unmount() renamed to wimlib_unmount_image().
620 * wimlib_overwrite_xml_and_header() removed as
621 wimlib_overwrite() suffices now.
622 * wimlib_apply_image_to_ntfs_volume() removed as
623 wimlib_extract_image() suffices now.
624 * wimlib_add_image_from_ntfs_volume() removed as
625 * wimlib_add_image() suffices now.
627 Previously, the soname of libwim.so has been 0.0.0, despite many
628 interface changes. The soname is now updated to 1.0.0 and will now be
629 updated each release.
632 Resources will now be compressed using multiple threads by default.
633 (This applies to `imagex capture', `imagex append', and `imagex
636 Some performance improvements in mounted WIMs.
638 More progress information is shown when capturing a WIM.
641 Lots of minor fixes, code cleanups, and some documentation updates.
642 Nothing in particular is really noteworthy.
645 LZX and XPRESS compression improvements.
647 Fixed calculation of Directory Count, File Count, Total Bytes, and Hard
648 Link Bytes of the WIM.
651 Fixed bug when capturing NTFS file with multiple named data streams.
653 Internally, we are now using inode structures, even though these don't
654 appear literally in the WIM file. This simplifies some of the code
655 (mainly for WIM mounting) and likely fixed a few problems, although it
659 Fixed problem when exporting images from XPRESS to LZX compressed WIM or
663 Enough changes to call it version 1.0.0!
665 Capturing a WIM directly from a NTFS volume, and applying a WIM directly
666 to a NTFS volume, is now supported.
668 Hard links and symbolic links have much improved support. They are
669 supported for WIM capture, WIM application, and mounted WIMs (you can
670 even make them on read-write mounted WIMs).
672 Alternate data streams are now supported on mounted WIMs through an
673 xattr or a Windows-style stream interface. Also they are supported when
674 capturing a WIM from NTFS or applying a WIM to NTFS.
676 Split WIMs are better supported. You may now apply an image directly
677 from a split WIM, mount an image from a split WIM read-only, or export
678 an image from a split WIM.
680 Using a capture configuration file is now supported (but not fully yet).
682 SHA1 message digests are checked in more places, so we can make sure
683 applied and captured data is correct.
685 Man pages have been updated and consolidated.
688 Fixed segfault when unmounting read-only WIM.
691 Support for joining and splitting WIMs.
692 Also, security data is now preserved by default.
695 Can now build with older gcc and system headers, like on CentOS 5.
698 Fixed bug that made it impossible to overwrite files in read-write
702 Write byte-order mark before WIM XML data. (imagex.exe requires this to
