Such files can exist as a result of the use of + certain Windows features, such as offline storage, including "OneDrive". + wimlib will now store and restore both streams on Windows as well as in + NTFS-3g mode. Microsoft's WIMGAPI also has this behavior. + + On Windows, named data streams of encrypted files are no longer stored + twice in WIM archives. + + 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. + + The '--enable-verify-compression' configure option has been removed. If + you want to verify a WIM file, use the 'wimverify' program. + + The way the "file count", "directory count", "total bytes", and "hard + link bytes" image statistics (stored in the WIM XML data) is calculated + has been slightly changed. + + In mounted WIM images, the disk usage provided for each file (st_blocks) + is now the compressed size rather than the uncompressed size. + + The performance of the NTFS-3g and Windows capture modes has been + slightly improved. + + On UNIX-like systems, symbolic links whose targets contain the backslash + character are now handled correctly (losslessly). + Version 1.8.0: Improved the LZX compressor. It is now 15-20% faster than before and provides a slightly better compression ratio.
