-Version 1.8.1-BETA:
+Version 1.9.0-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 experimental support for Windows VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service).
+ The new '--snapshot' argument to 'wimcapture' makes wimlib automatically
+ create and use a temporary VSS snapshot when capturing a WIM image.
+
+ 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:
+
+ 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.
+
+ On Windows, wimlib now acquires SeManageVolumePrivilege, which
+ is needed to create externally backed files using the
+ "wofadk.sys" driver.
+
+ Improved validation of filenames.
+
+ Improved LZMS decompression speed.
+
+ The configure script now honors alternate pkg-config settings.
+
+ 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.
+
+Version 1.8.1:
Fixed a bug in the LZX decompressor: malicious input data could cause
out of bounds writes to memory (since wimlib v1.2.2).
+ The output of the 'wiminfo' command now consolidates various boolean
+ flags (such as "Relative path junction") into a single line.
+
A file can now have both an unnamed data stream ("file contents") and a
reparse point stream. Such files can exist as a result of the use of
certain Windows features, such as offline storage, including "OneDrive".
On Windows, named data streams are now correctly extracted to existing
"readonly" directories. Before, an error would be reported.
+ On Windows, it is now possible to do a "WIMBoot mode" extraction with
+ non-standalone WIMs such as delta WIMs.
+
On Windows, when doing an extraction in "WIMBoot mode", files larger
than 4 gigabytes are now never extracted as externally backed. This
works around a bug in Microsoft's "WOF" driver.
