This is + the default compression mode of wimlib-imagex. + + The file list printed by 'wimdir' is now sorted by the platform-specific + case sensitivity setting, rather than always case sensitively. This + also affects the library function wimlib_iterate_dir_tree(). + + Fixed various issues related to capture/apply of EFS-encrypted files on + Windows. + + On Windows, some error and warning messages have been improved. + +Version 1.7.4: + The Windows binary distribution no longer contains third party DLLs. + These dependencies are instead compiled directly into the libwim DLL. + + Added more fixes for wimlib on non-x86 architectures such as ARM. + + Extracting files to a Windows PE in-memory filesystem no longer fails if + the target files do not yet exist. + + Improved the performance of XPRESS compression and LZMS decompression. + + Enabled SSSE3 accelerated SHA-1 computation in x86_64 Windows builds. + It will automatically be faster on newer Intel and AMD processors. + + Removed the --with-imagex-progname and --enable-more-assertions + configure options. + +Version 1.7.3: + Fix for very slow export from solid WIM / ESD files. + + Fix for LZX and LZMS algorithms on non-x86 architectures, such as ARM. + + New progress message: WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_HANDLE_ERROR. Applications + may use this to treat some types of errors as non-fatal. + + The library now permits making in-memory changes to a WIMStruct backed + by a read-only WIM file. + + Fixes for "WIMBoot" extraction mode (Windows only): + + When not using the WOF driver, extraction no longer fails if the + disk containing the WIM file has too many partitions. + + When matching patterns in [PrepopulateList], all hard links of + each file are now considered. + + The system registry files are now automatically treated as being + in [PrepopulateList]. + + Added a hack to try to work around an intermittent bug in + Microsoft's WOF (Windows Overlay Filesystem) driver. + +Version 1.7.2: Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors. A number of improvements to the Windows port:
