This is + the default compression mode of wimlib-imagex. + +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. - Made more improvements to compression and decompression. Most notable - is about 10% faster XPRESS compression with a tiny improvement in - compression ratio. + 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.
