-Version 1.6.3-BETA:
- Added support for "WIMBoot". On any platform, you can now capture a WIM
- as WIMBoot-compatible. In addition, on Windows, you can now apply a WIM
- archive in a special mode that causes extracted files to be externally
- backed by the WIM archive. See the documentation for the new
- '--wimboot' option to wimcapture and wimapply for more information.
+ A number of improvements to the Windows port:
+
+ Fixes for setting short filenames.
+
+ Faster "WIMBoot" extraction.
+
+ Updated and slimmed down the dependent DLLs.
+
+ ACL inheritence bits are now restored.
+
+ Mandatory integrity labels are now backed up and restored.
+
+ Library changes:
+ Added file count progress data for
+ WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE and
+ WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
+
+ Added support for testing file exclusions via the user-provided
+ progress function.
+
+ Some documentation improvements.
+
+Version 1.7.1:
+ Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
+
+ The default compression mode for wimcapture is now LZX compression in
+ its default mode, which is the same as '--compress=maximum'.
+
+ You can now specify an optional integer compression level to the
+ '--compress' option; e.g. '--compress=lzx:75'.
+
+ Made a minor change to the LZMS compressor and decompressor to fix an
+ incompatibility with the Microsoft implementation. In the unlikely
+ event that you created an LZMS-compressed WIM with wimlib v1.7.0 or
+ earlier and a checksum error is reported when extracting files from it
+ with wimlib v1.7.1, decompress it with v1.7.0 then compress it with
+ v1.7.1.
+
+ Added 'verify' subcommand to wimlib-imagex.
+
+ Notable library changes:
+
+ Custom compressor parameters have been removed from the library
+ in favor of the simpler level-based API.
+
+ Decompressor parameters have been removed entirely.
+
+ Library users can now specify a custom file for warning and
+ error messages to be sent to, rather than the default of
+ standard error.
+
+ New progress messages:
+ WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE,
+ WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
+
+ New function: wimlib_verify_wim().
+
+Version 1.7.0:
+ Improved compression, decompression, and extraction performance.
+
+ Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files:
+ - Add support for reading and writing multiple solid blocks per
+ archive, which WIMGAPI/DISM can create when appending an image.
+ - Correctly create solid blocks larger than 4 GiB.
