Use 'imagex unmount --commit --rebuild' to get the + old behavior. + + 'imagex unmount' no longer has a hard-coded limit of 10 minutes to wait + for a response from the daemon servicing the mounted WIM. Instead, + every second 'imagex unmount' will check if the daemon is still alive, + and keep waiting if so, otherwise terminate with an error. + + 'imagex unmount --commit' on a read-write mounted WIM will now print + progress information regarding the writing of new or modified streams + the WIM, just like when capturing or appending a WIM. + + A small change has been made to XPRESS compression and it should improve + the compression ratio slightly. + + Microsoft has managed to introduce even more bugs into their software, + and now the WIMs for Windows 8 have incorrect (too low) reference counts + for some streams. This is unsafe because such streams can be removed + when they are in actuality still referenced in the WIM (perhaps by a + different image). wimlib will now work around this problem by fixing + the stream reference counts. This is only done when wimlib_delete_image() is + called ('imagex delete') or when wimlib_mount_image() is called with + WIMLIB_MOUNT_FLAG_READWRITE ('imagex mountrw'). Please note that this + requires reading the metadata for all images in the WIM, so this will + make these operations noticably slower on WIMs with multiple images. + Version 1.2.0: Appending images to a WIM is now be done by default without re-building the whole WIM. Use the --rebuild flag to get the old behavior (which
