-Version 1.8.2-BETA:
+Version 1.8.4-BETA:
+ Fixed a bug where, on Windows, wimlib would change the security
+ descriptor of the target directory of an extraction even when the
+ '--no-acls' option was specified.
+
+ Added a new '--image-property' option to 'wimcapture', 'wimappend', and
+ 'wiminfo'. This option lets you assign values to elements in a WIM
+ file's XML document by name.
+
+ The wimlib_get_image_property() and wimlib_set_image_property() API
+ functions now support numerically indexed elements.
+
+Version 1.8.3:
+ Fixed a bug with libntfs-3g extraction present since v1.8.1. Sometimes,
+ some Microsoft software would not correctly recognize data in the
+ resulting filesystem.
+
+ Made some small improvements to the compression algorithms:
+ LZX compression ratio was slightly improved.
+ XPRESS compression ratio and speed was slightly improved.
+ LZMS compression speed was slightly improved.
+
+ Improved handling of WIM XML data. wimlib no longer drops unrecognized
+ elements when exporting images. In addition, two API functions were
+ added for better access to elements in the XML document:
+ wimlib_get_image_property() and wimlib_set_image_property().
+
+ Added support for (unsafe) in-place compaction of WIM files.
+
+ Improved performance of image export by reusing metadata resources
+ instead of always rebuilding and recompressing them.
+
+ Improved performance of wimlib_update_image() by delaying the update to
+ the WIM's XML document until a write is requested.
+
+ On Windows, the target of an extraction may now be a reparse point
+ (which will be dereferenced).
+
+ On Windows, wimlib now correctly restores non-Microsoft reparse points.
+ However, this remains broken in NTFS-3g mode due to a libntfs-3g bug.
+
+ On Windows, wimlib now has improved performance when archiving files
+ from a filesystem backed by a WIM (a "WIMBoot" setup).
+
+ Several improvements to System Compression (compact mode) support:
+
+ wof.sys (or wofadk.sys) is now automatically attached to the
+ target volume if needed.
+
+ Compact-mode extractions now work correctly with wofadk.sys on
+ older versions of Windows.
+
+ For compatibility with the Windows bootloader, the requested
+ compression format now is overridden on certain files.
+
+ Other minor bugfixes.
+
+Version 1.8.2:
This release primarily contains various minor bug fixes and
improvements, including:
- Reduced the stack space used by directory tree scans.
+ Improved handling of deep directory structures.
Fixed a bug where on 32-bit systems, the library could enter an
infinite loop if a WIM file was malformed in a specific way.
+ Added a workaround for a case where libntfs-3g may report
+ duplicate streams in an NTFS file.
+
Windows symbolic links and junctions in mounted WIM images are
now automatically rewritten to be valid in the mounted location.
Reparse point fixes: correctly handle the "ReparseReserved"
field, and correctly handle "empty" (data-less) reparse points.
- Improved validation of filenames.
-
- Fixed the test scripts to work in a Turkish locale.
-
- Fixed handling of EINTR during data I/O.
+ On Windows, wimlib now acquires SeManageVolumePrivilege, which
+ is needed to create externally backed files using the
+ "wofadk.sys" driver.
- Optimized memory usage of some data structures.
+ Improved validation of filenames.
Improved LZMS decompression speed.
The configure script now honors alternate pkg-config settings.
- In addition, *experimental* support has been added for compressing
+ Links have been updated to point to the new website.
+
+ In addition, experimental support has been added for compressing
extracted files using System Compression on Windows 10. This
functionality is available through the new '--compact' option to
'wimapply' and 'wimextract' as well as new library flags.
