Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
+Version 1.2.1:
+ By default, unmounting a read-write mounted WIM with 'imagex unmount
+ --commit' will now change the WIM in-place without needing to write the
+ entire WIM again. Use 'imagex unmount --commit --rebuild' to get the
+ old behavior.
+
+ 'imagex unmount' no longer has a hard-coded limit of 10 minutes to wait
+ for a response from the daemon servicing the mounted WIM. Instead,
+ every second 'imagex unmount' will check if the daemon is still alive,
+ and keep waiting if so, otherwise terminate with an error.
+
+ 'imagex unmount --commit' on a read-write mounted WIM will now print
+ progress information regarding the writing of new or modified streams
+ the WIM, just like when capturing or appending a WIM.
+
+ A small change has been made to XPRESS compression and it should improve
+ the compression ratio slightly.
+
+ A change was made that may improve performance slightly when applying a
+ WIM image to a NTFS volume.
+
+ Microsoft has managed to introduce even more bugs into their software,
+ and now the WIMs for Windows 8 have incorrect (too low) reference counts
+ for some streams. This is unsafe because such streams can be removed
+ when they are in actuality still referenced in the WIM (perhaps by a
+ different image). wimlib will now work around this problem by fixing
+ the stream reference counts. This is only done when wimlib_delete_image() is
+ called ('imagex delete') or when wimlib_mount_image() is called with
+ WIMLIB_MOUNT_FLAG_READWRITE ('imagex mountrw'). Please note that this
+ requires reading the metadata for all images in the WIM, so this will
+ make these operations noticably slower on WIMs with multiple images.
+
+ Various other bugfixes.

Version 1.2.0:
Appending images to a WIM is now be done by default without re-building
the whole WIM. Use the --rebuild flag to get the old behavior (which
A possible bug with changing the bootable image of a WIM was fixed.
Some advisory locking is now done to prevent two processes from
- modifying a WIM at the same time (but only in some cases). e.g. You
- cannot mount two images from a WIM read-write at the same time.
+ modifying a WIM at the same time (but only in some cases). For example,

Some functions have been reorganized:
* wimlib_mount() renamed to wimlib_mount_image().
