-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.
+Version 1.8.2-BETA:
+ Fixed a bug: on 32-bit systems, the library would enter an infinite loop
+ if WIM image metadata was malformed in a very specific way.
+
+Version 1.8.1:
+ Fixed a bug in the LZX decompressor: malicious input data could cause
+ out of bounds writes to memory (since wimlib v1.2.2).
+
+ The output of the 'wiminfo' command now consolidates various boolean
+ flags (such as "Relative path junction") into a single line.
+
+ A file can now have both an unnamed data stream ("file contents") and a
+ reparse point stream. Such files can exist as a result of the use of
+ certain Windows features, such as offline storage, including "OneDrive".
+ wimlib will now store and restore both streams on Windows as well as in
+ NTFS-3g mode. Microsoft's WIMGAPI also has this behavior.
+
+ On Windows, named data streams of encrypted files are no longer stored
+ twice in WIM archives.
+
+ On Windows, named data streams are now correctly extracted to existing
+ "readonly" directories. Before, an error would be reported.
+
+ On Windows, it is now possible to do a "WIMBoot mode" extraction with
+ non-standalone WIMs such as delta WIMs.
+
+ On Windows, when doing an extraction in "WIMBoot mode", files larger
+ than 4 gigabytes are now never extracted as externally backed. This
+ works around a bug in Microsoft's "WOF" driver.
+
+ The '--enable-verify-compression' configure option has been removed. If
+ you want to verify a WIM file, use the 'wimverify' program.
+
+ The way the "file count", "directory count", "total bytes", and "hard
+ link bytes" image statistics (stored in the WIM XML data) is calculated
+ has been slightly changed.
+
+ In mounted WIM images, the disk usage provided for each file (st_blocks)
+ is now the compressed size rather than the uncompressed size.
+
+ The performance of the NTFS-3g and Windows capture modes has been
+ slightly improved.
+
+ On UNIX-like systems, symbolic links whose targets contain the backslash
+ character are now handled correctly (losslessly).
+
+Version 1.8.0:
+ Improved the LZX compressor. It is now 15-20% faster than before and
+ provides a slightly better compression ratio.
+
+ 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.
Version 1.7.4:
The Windows binary distribution no longer contains third party DLLs.
