-Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
+Version 1.7.1-BETA:
+ The new (as of v1.7.0) extraction code will no longer run out of file
+ handles when extracting many (1000+) identical files.
-Version 1.7.0-BETA:
- Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files.
+ Library users can now initialize and de-initialize the library multiple
+ times in one run of an application program.
- Performance improvements, including for extraction.
+ Library users will now receive WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_WRITE_STREAMS
+ messages more frequency when writing large WIM files.
+
+Version 1.7.0:
+ Improved compression, decompression, and extraction performance.
+
+ Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files:
+ - Add support for reading and writing multiple solid blocks per
+ archive, which WIMGAPI/DISM can create when appending an image.
+ - Correctly create solid blocks larger than 4 GiB.
'add' commands passed to wimupdate will now replace existing
nondirectory files by default. Use the --no-replace option to get the
old behavior.
+ The license for the library now contains an exception that allows using
+ it under the LGPL. See the COPYING file for details.
+
+ In reparse-point fixup mode (the default for capture), symbolic links
+ and junctions that point outside the tree being captured are no longer
+ excluded from capture.
+
Added support for "WIMBoot" capture and extraction. See the
documentation for the new '--wimboot' option to wimcapture and wimapply
for more information.
The 'mkwinpeimg' script now supports writing the ISO image to standard
output.
- The <ARCH> element in WIM XML data will now be exported correctly.
+ The <ARCH> element in WIM XML data is now exported correctly.
On Windows, sparse file attributes are no longer set on extracted files.
+ Oddly enough, this actually saves disk space in some cases.
On UNIX, configuring with --disable-xattr or --enable-xattr is no longer
supported. Mounting WIM images now always requires extended attribute
- support. Use --without-fuse to disable support for mounting WIM images.
+ support. Use --without-fuse to disable support for mounting WIM images;
+ this will also disable the need for extended attribute support.
+
+ Configuring with --enable-ssse3-sha1 now works correctly.
The shared library version has been bumped up. The main
incompatibilities are:
WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_LZX is now 2 (so it's the same as
WIMGAPI).
- - Progress functions, including their prototypes as well as how
- they are provided to the library, have been changed.
+ - User-provided progress functions are now registered using a
+ separate function, wimlib_register_progress_function(). The
+ 'progress_func' argument to many functions no longer exists.
+
+ - The return value from user-provided progress functions is now
+ significant.
+
+ - A context argument has been added to the prototype of
+ user-provided progress functions.
- 'struct wimlib_capture_config' has been removed. The library
now takes the path to the configuration file directly. This
affects wimlib_add_image(), wimlib_add_image_multisource(),
- and wimlib_update_image(). However no code changes are
- necessary if a NULL configuration was being used.
+ and wimlib_update_image(). However, a NULL value passed in
+ the argument retains the same meaning.
- Removed deprecated functions: some (de)compression functions,
wimlib_extract_files(), and wimlib_print_metadata().
- Removed extraction flags: WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_HARDLINK,
- WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SYMLINK, and
- WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER.
+ WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SYMLINK, WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER,
+ and WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL.
- - Removed progress messages:
+ - Removed some progress messages:
WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_APPLY_TIMESTAMPS,
WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_BEGIN,
- WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_END.
+ WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_END. Numbering
+ stays the same.
+
+ - Removed some error codes. Numbering stays the same.
+
+ - Replaced WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_LAZY with
+ WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_FORCE.
- WIM paths passed to progress functions now have a leading
slash.
