If you really don't like this you can pass the + --with-imagex-progname option to `configure' to choose a different name, + or even simply rename the binary yourself (but the former way will + configure the man pages to use the chosen name). + + Various bugs fixed in the Windows build. Mainly to do with capturing + and restoring alternate data streams correctly in weird cases, and + requesting the correct privileges when opening files. Also added the + --noacls options to wimlib-imagex capture, append, and apply. + + Windows build again: FindFirstStreamW() and FindNextStreamW() are now + dynamically loaded, so this may make the library compatible with Windows + XP (however, there may still be other problems). + +Version 1.3.0: + Added experimental support for native Windows builds. Binaries can be + downloaded from the SourceForge page. + + --source-list option added to `imagex capture' and `imagex append'. + + Better support for different character encodings. + +Version 1.2.6: + Storing UNIX file owners, groups, and modes in WIM images is now + possible using `imagex capture' with the --unix-data flag. + + Minor bug fixes and documentation fixes. + +Version 1.2.5: + NTFS capture: Fixed capturing duplicate reparse points. + + NTFS capture: Capture first unnamed stream if there are more than one + (print warning instead of error). + + Allow multiple test cases to execute concurrently (e.g. make -j2 check). + +Version 1.2.4: + Added --arch switch to mkwinpeimg script to support getting AMD64 WinPE + from the WAIK. + + Update to work with ntfs-3g version 2013.1.13. + +Version 1.2.3: + Fixed truncating file to shorter but non-zero length on read-write + mounted WIM image. + + Various code cleanups and minor documentation fixes. + +Version 1.2.2: + LZX and XPRESS decompression have received some additional optimizations + and should now be even faster. (Although, they were already pretty + fast--- much faster than typical I/O speeds.) + + Fixed a bug introduced in v1.2.1 that would cause a directory tree + containing hard links to be captured incorrectly in some cases. + Version 1.2.1: By default, unmounting a read-write mounted WIM with 'imagex unmount --commit' will now change the WIM in-place without needing to write the @@ -18,6 +78,9 @@ Version 1.2.1: A small change has been made to XPRESS compression and it should improve the compression ratio slightly. + A change was made that may improve performance slightly when applying a + WIM image to a NTFS volume. + 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.
