+Version 1.5.0:
+ Added support for "pipable" WIMs. Pipable WIMs allow capturing images
+ to standard output and applying images from standard input, but they are
+ not compatible with Microsoft's software and are not created by default.
+ See the documentation for --pipable flag of `wimlib-imagex capture' for
+ more information. Two new functions have been added to the library to
+ fully support this: wimlib_write_to_fd() and
+ wimlib_extract_image_from_pipe().
+
+ wimlib now preserve WIM integrity tables by default, even if
+ WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not specified. This changes the
+ behavior of `wimlib-imagex' whenever the WIM being operated on contains
+ an integrity table and the '--check' option is not specified.
+
+ `wimlib-imagex capture' now creates LZX-compressed WIMs by default
+ (when --compress is not specified). This provides the best compression
+ ratio by default, which is usually what is desired, at a cost of some
+ speed.
+
+ For convenience, `wimlib-imagex' now supports being invoked as
+ wimCOMMAND, where COMMAND is the command as in `wimlib-imagex COMMAND';
+ for example, it can be invoked as `wimapply' as an alternative to
+ `wimlib-imagex apply'. The appropriate hard links are created in UNIX
+ installations of `wimlib-imagex', while for the Windows distribution of
+ `wimlib-imagex', batch files that emulate this behavior are generated.
+
+ `wimlib-imagex' no longer recognizes the 'mount', 'mountrw', and
+ 'unmount' commands on Windows, since they didn't work on Windows anyway.
+
+ Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows.
+
+ `mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather
+ than the WAIK itself.
+
+ The test suite no longer fails when run in a locale where the decimal
+ separator is not a period.
+
+ From the library, WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DENTRY has been removed
+ and WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_VERBOSE re-reserved for future use. Also,
+ WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_JOIN_STREAMS has been removed, but
+ WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_WRITE_STREAMS will be received instead and now
+ provides WIM part numbers.
+
+ The extraction code has been rewritten and it will now be easier to
+ support new features on all supported backends (currently Win32, UNIX,
+ and NTFS-3g). For example, hard-linked extraction mode (--hardlink) is
+ now supported on all backends, not just UNIX.
+
+ The LZX compression and decompression code now compiles correctly on the
+ ARM architecture (where 'char' is unsigned).
+
+ wimlib_split() progress messages now report the total number of parts
+ being written.
+
+ Fixed storing DOS names in NTFS-3g capture mode.
+
+ A few changes were made to the error codes returned by library routines.
+
+ To make wimlib easier to use on Windows, wimlib_global_init() now
+ automatically attempts to acquire additional privileges on Windows, so
+ library clients need not do this (although they can provide a flag to
+ get the old behavior and manage privileges themselves).
+
+ This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it
+ doesn't quite maintain binary compatibility with previous releases.
+
+Version 1.4.2:
+ Fixed bug in `wimlib-imagex export' that made it impossible to export an
+ image from a WIM that is readonly at the filesystem level.
+
+ Return error code rather than segfaulting when trying to list files from
+ a non-first part of a split WIM.
+
+ Joining a WIM will now preserve the RP_FIX and READONLY flags.
+
+Version 1.4.1:
+ On Windows, paths given to wimlib-imagex are now treated case
+ insensitively.
+
+ Improved behavior regarding invalid filenames; in particular, on
+ Windows, wimlib-imagex will, when extracting, now omit (with an option
+ to override this default) filenames differing only in case, or filenames
+ containing characters not valid on Windows.
+
+ On Windows, wimlib now supports capturing and extracting long paths
+ (longer than the so-called MAX_PATH).
+
+ On Windows, `wimlib-imagex update' now acquires proper privileges when
+ running as an Administrator.
+
+ `wimlib-imagex update' will now complain if no image is specified when
+ trying to update a multi-image WIM.
+
+ `wimlib-imagex update' now supports specifying a single update command
+ directly on the command line using the --command option.
+
+ wimlib-imagex will now choose different units for progress messages,
+ depending on the amount of data that needs to be processed.
+
+ `wimlib-imagex append' will now generate a unique WIM image name if no
+ name is specified and the defaulted name already exists in the WIM.
+
+ wimlib now allows you to create unnamed WIM images, which can then only
+ be referred to by index.
+
+ wimlib now allows you to explicitly declare you want write access to a
+ WIM by providing the WIMLIB_OPEN_FLAG_WRITE_ACCESS flag to
+ wimlib_open_wim().
+
+ wimlib now respects the WIM_HDR_FLAG_READONLY flag when set in the WIM
+ header.
+
+ Progress callbacks have been added to wimlib's wimlib_update_image()
+ function.
+
+ Added wimlib_get_wim_info(), wimlib_set_wim_info(),
+ wimlib_iterate_dir_tree(), and wimlib_iterate_lookup_table() functions
+ to the library.
+
+ NTFS-3g capture now only warns about two conditions previously treated
+ as errors.
+
+ Fixed a couple issues with using wimlib-imagex on UDF filesystems on
+ Windows.
+
+ wimlib now correctly detects and returns an error when reading a WIM
+ image with a cyclic directory structure. (Fun fact: such a WIM will
+ crash Microsoft's software.)
+
+Version 1.4.0:
+ Added new "extract" and "update" subcommands to wimlib-imagex, along
+ with associated APIs in the library. These commands are intended mainly
+ for Windows use but can be used on UNIX as well.
+
+ Many documentation improvements.
+
+ Fixed a bug in the Windows build where relative symbolic links were not
+ captured in reparse-point fixup mode.
+
+ Fixed a bug in the Windows build where file handles were left open to
+ the WIM file, causing `wimlib_imagex optimize' to fail in some cases.
+
+ Fixed a bug in the Windows build of wimlib-imagex where globbing
+ split-WIM parts could cause the program to crash.
+
+ Fixed a bug where the creation time of WIM images would be shown instead
+ of the last modification time.
+
+ With the Windows build it is now possible to restore a WIM containing
+ symbolic links as a non-Administrator; however you will receive warnings
+ about not being able to extract the symbolic links.
