Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
+Version 1.2.3:
+ Fixed truncating file to shorter but non-zero length on read-write
+ mounted WIM image.
+
+ Various code cleanups and minor documentation fixes.
+
+Version 1.2.2:
+ LZX and XPRESS decompression have received some additional optimizations
+ and should now be even faster. (Although, they were already pretty
+ fast--- much faster than typical I/O speeds.)
+
+ Fixed a bug introduced in v1.2.1 that would cause a directory tree
+ containing hard links to be captured incorrectly in some cases.
+
+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
+ was to re-build the entire WIM when a new image is appended).
+
+ A new command `imagex optimize' is now available to manually re-build a
+ WIM that has wasted space due to repeated appends.
+
+ Progress information has been improved, and now arbitrary callback
+ functions can be used to show the progress of a WIM operation.
+
+ 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). For example,
+ you cannot mount two images from a WIM read-write at the same time.
+
+ Some functions have been reorganized:
+ * wimlib_mount() renamed to wimlib_mount_image().
+ * wimlib_unmount() renamed to wimlib_unmount_image().
+ * wimlib_overwrite_xml_and_header() removed as
+ wimlib_overwrite() suffices now.
+ * wimlib_apply_image_to_ntfs_volume() removed as
+ wimlib_extract_image() suffices now.
+ * wimlib_add_image_from_ntfs_volume() removed as
+ * wimlib_add_image() suffices now.
+
+ Previously, the soname of libwim.so has been 0.0.0, despite many
+ interface changes. The soname is now updated to 1.0.0 and will now be
+ updated each release.
+
+Version 1.1.0:
+ Resources will now be compressed using multiple threads by default.
+ (This applies to `imagex capture', `imagex append', and `imagex
+ export').
+
+ Some performance improvements in mounted WIMs.
+
+ More progress information is shown when capturing a WIM.
+
Version 1.0.4:
Lots of minor fixes, code cleanups, and some documentation updates.
Nothing in particular is really noteworthy.
