This information is now + automatically set in newly captured WIM images, when appropriate. + + Improved performance of directory tree scans on Windows. + + On Windows, to improve capture performance, wimlib now sometimes opens + files by inode number rather than by path. This is enabled for + wimcapture and wimappend, but for now other applications have to opt-in. + + The progress messages printed by wimlib-imagex while writing WIM files + have been slightly tweaked. + + Progress information for directory tree scans now counts all hard links. + Also, on Windows "\\?\" is no longer stripped from the current path. + + 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. + + 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. + +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.
