Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
+Version 1.6.1:
+ Stored files with size exactly 4 GiB (4,294,967,296 bytes) are now
+ decompressed correctly.
+
+ Paths passed to wimlib_extract_paths() and wimlib_iterate_dir_tree() may
+ now use either forwards or backwards slashes, as documented.
+
+ Fixed a potential stack overflow when extracting solid archives (packed
+ streams) containing more than about 100000 files.
+
+ Memory usage for LZMS and LZX compression has been decreased.

Version 1.6.0:
Support for extracting and updating the new version 3584 WIMs has been
added. These WIMs typically pack many streams ("files") together into a
image), but optimizations have been implemented for extraction. These
new WIM files also typically use a new compression format (LZMS), which
is similar to LZMA and can offer a better compression ratio than LZX.
- These new WIM files can be created with Dism using '/compress recovery',
- or using `wimcapture' using '--pack-streams', although wimlib's LZMS
- compressor is not yet very good, the latter is not recommended. Note:
- this new WIM format is used by the Windows 8 web downloader, but
- important segments of the raw '.esd' files are encrypted, so wimlib will
- not be able to extract such files until they are first decrypted.

wimlib now supports extracting files and directories from a WIM image
based on a "listfile" that itself contains the list of paths to extract.
For searching WIM files, wimlib now has configurable case sensitivity.
The default on Windows is still case-insensitive and the default on
- UNIX-like systems is still case-sensitive, but this can be overwridden
+ UNIX-like systems is still case-sensitive, but this can be overridden
on either platform through flags to wimlib_global_init(). For
`wimlib-imagex', the environmental variable WIMLIB_IMAGEX_IGNORE_CASE
can be set to 1 or 0 for case-insensitive or case-sensitive behavior,
