Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
+Version 1.5.1:
+ wimlib can now open WinPE WIMs from WAIK v2.1, which had a quirk that
+ needed to be handled.
+
+ A bug related to the interpretation of the IMAGE in the
+ --update-of=[WIMFILE:]IMAGE argument to `wimlib-imagex capture' and
+ `wimlib-imagex append' has been fixed.
+
Version 1.5.0:
Added support for "pipable" WIMs. Pipable WIMs allow capturing images
to standard output and applying images from standard input, but they are
not compatible with Microsoft's software and are not created by default.
See the documentation for --pipable flag of `wimlib-imagex capture' for
- more information. Two new functions have been added to the library to
- fully support this: wimlib_write_to_fd() and
- wimlib_extract_image_from_pipe().
+ more information.
+
+ To better support incremental backups, added support for declaring an
+ image as a modified form of another image. See the documentation for
+ the '--update-of' option of `wimlib-imagex append' and `wimlib-imagex
+ capture'.
+
+ Added supported for "delta" WIMs. See the documentation for the
+ '--delta-from' option of `wimlib-imagex capture'.
- wimlib now preserve WIM integrity tables by default, even if
+ The library support for managing split WIMs has been changed to support
+ other arrangements, such as delta WIMs, and be easier to use. This
+ change is visible in `wimlib-imagex', which also can now accept the
+ '--ref' option multiple times, and also now supports "delta" WIMs as
+ mentioned above.
+
+ wimlib now preserves WIM integrity tables by default, even if
WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not specified. This changes the
behavior of `wimlib-imagex' whenever the WIM being operated on contains
an integrity table and the '--check' option is not specified.
ratio by default, which is usually what is desired, at a cost of some
speed.
- For convenience, `wimlib-imagex' now supports being invoked as
- wimCOMMAND, where COMMAND is the command as in `wimlib-imagex COMMAND';
- for example, it can be invoked as `wimapply' as an alternative to
- `wimlib-imagex apply'. The appropriate hard links are created in UNIX
- installations of `wimlib-imagex', while for the Windows distribution of
- `wimlib-imagex', batch files that emulate this behavior are generated.
-
- `wimlib-imagex' no longer recognizes the 'mount', 'mountrw', and
- 'unmount' commands on Windows, since they didn't work on Windows anyway.

Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows.
- `mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather
- than the WAIK itself.
-
- The test suite no longer fails when run in a locale where the decimal
- separator is not a period.
-
- WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DENTRY has been removed and
- WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_VERBOSE re-reserved for future use.
+ Fixed archiving DOS names in NTFS-3g capture mode.
The extraction code has been rewritten and it will now be easier to
support new features on all supported backends (currently Win32, UNIX,
and NTFS-3g). For example, hard-linked extraction mode (--hardlink) is
now supported on all backends, not just UNIX.
- The LZX compression and decompression code now compiles correctly on the
- ARM architecture (where 'char' is unsigned).
-
- wimlib_split() progress messages now report the total number of parts
- being written.
-
- A few changes were made to the error codes returned by library routines.
+ `mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather
+ than the WAIK itself.
- To make wimlib easier to use on Windows, wimlib_global_init() now
- automatically attempts to acquire additional privileges on Windows, so
- library clients need not do this (although they can provide a flag to
- get the old behavior and manage privileges themselves).
+ wimlib_global_init() now, by default, attempts to acquire additional
+ privileges on Windows, so library clients need not do this.
- This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it
- doesn't quite maintain binary compatibility with previous releases.
+ This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it is
+ not binary compatibible with previous releases.
Version 1.4.2:
Fixed bug in `wimlib-imagex export' that made it impossible to export an
