- Added support for "WIMBoot". On any platform, you can now capture a WIM
- as WIMBoot-compatible. In addition, on Windows, you can now apply a WIM
- archive in a special mode that causes extracted files to be externally
- backed by the WIM archive. See the documentation for the new
- '--wimboot' option to wimcapture and wimapply for more information.
+ On UNIX-like systems, you can now backup and restore device nodes, named
+ pipes, and sockets. In addition, 32-bit user and group IDs are now
+ supported.
+
+ The way that UNIX data is stored in WIM files has been changed. If you
+ captured any WIMs with the --unix-data option, to upgrade them you'll
+ need to apply them with --unix-data using wimlib-imagex v1.6.2, then
+ re-capture them with --unix-data using this version.
+
+ wimlib now understands tagged metadata items, such as object IDs, that
+ can be stored in WIM directory entries.
+
+ Removed the --hardlink and --symlink options to wimapply, since I don't
+ think they are too useful and they got in the way of improving the code.
