Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
+Version 1.5.1:
+ wimlib can now open WinPE WIMs from WAIK v2.1, which had a quirk that
+ needed to be handled.
+
+ A bug related to the interpretation of the IMAGE in the
+ --update-of=[WIMFILE:]IMAGE option to `wimlib-imagex capture' and
+ `wimlib-imagex append' has been fixed.

Version 1.5.0:
- Added support for "pipable" WIMs. This support allows capturing images
- to standard output or applying images from standard input, but they are
+ 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 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().
+ See the documentation for --pipable flag of `wimlib-imagex capture' for
+ more information.
+
+ To better support incremental backups, added support for declaring an
+ image as a modified form of another image. See the documentation for
+ the '--update-of' option of `wimlib-imagex append' and `wimlib-imagex
+ capture'.
+
+ Added supported for "delta" WIMs. See the documentation for the
+ '--delta-from' option of `wimlib-imagex capture'.
- wimlib now preserve WIM integrity tables by default, even if
+ The library support for managing split WIMs has been changed to support
+ other arrangements, such as delta WIMs, and be easier to use. This
+ change is visible in `wimlib-imagex', which also can now accept the
+ '--ref' option multiple times, and also now supports "delta" WIMs as
+ mentioned above.
+
+ wimlib now preserves 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.
ratio by default, which is usually what is desired, at a cost of some
speed.
- Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows.
-
- `mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather
- than the WAIK itself.
+ `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.
- The test suite no longer fails when run in a locale where the decimal
- separator is not a period.
+ Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows.
- WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DENTRY has been removed and
- WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_VERBOSE re-reserved for future use.
+ Fixed archiving DOS names in NTFS-3g capture mode.
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.
- A few changes were made to the error codes returned by library routines.
+ `mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather
+ than the WAIK itself.
+
+ wimlib_global_init() now, by default, attempts to acquire additional
+ privileges on Windows, so library clients need not do this.
+
+ This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it is
+ not binary compatibible with previous releases.
Version 1.4.2:
Fixed bug in `wimlib-imagex export' that made it impossible to export an
