        architecture, system root, and version details.  This information is now
        automatically set in newly captured WIM images, when appropriate.

+       On Windows, to improve capture performance, wimlib now sometimes opens
+       files by inode number rather than by path.  This is enabled for
+       wimcapture and wimappend, but for now other applications have to opt-in.

        The progress messages printed by wimlib-imagex while writing WIM files
        have been slightly tweaked.
 
+       Progress information for directory tree scans now counts all hard links.
+       Also, on Windows "\\?\" is no longer stripped from the current path.

        Added a new '--image-property' option to 'wimcapture', 'wimappend', and
        'wiminfo'.  This option lets you assign values to elements in a WIM
        file's XML document by name.
