Version 1.7.5-BETA:
- The performance of LZX compression has been improved by 15-20%. This is
- the default compression mode of wimlib-imagex.
+ Improved the LZX compressor. It is now 15-20% faster than before and
+ provides a slightly better compression ratio.
- The file list printed by 'wimdir' is now sorted by the platform-specific
- case sensitivity setting, rather than always case sensitively. This
- also affects the library function wimlib_iterate_dir_tree().
+ Improved the LZMS compressor. It now provides a compression ratio
+ slightly better than WIMGAPI while still being faster and using slightly
+ less memory.
+
+ The compression chunk size in solid resources, e.g. when capturing or
+ exporting a WIM file using the '--solid' option, now defaults to 64 MiB
+ (67108864 bytes) instead of 32 MiB (33554432 bytes). This provides a
+ better compression ratio and is the same value that WIMGAPI uses. The
+ memory usage is less than 50% higher than wimlib v1.7.4 and is slightly
+ lower than WIMGAPI's memory usage, but if it is too much, it is still
+ possible to choose a lower value, e.g. with the '--solid-chunk-size'
+ option to wimlib-imagex.
+
+ The '--chunk-size' and '--solid-chunk-size' options to wimlib-imagex now
+ accept the 'K', 'M', and 'G' suffixes.
+
+ Files are now sorted by name extension when creating a solid WIM file.
Fixed various issues related to capture/apply of EFS-encrypted files on
Windows.
+ The file list printed by 'wimdir' is now sorted by the platform-specific
+ case sensitivity setting, rather than always case sensitively. This
+ also affects the library function wimlib_iterate_dir_tree().
+
On Windows, some error and warning messages have been improved.
