Also compressed and sparse files are now restored as such. + (Support for encrypted files still in progress.) + + Capturing and applying WIM images from filesystems other than NTFS + should now be possible, although it may not do exactly what you expect + yet. + + Added support for "reparse-point" fixups (i.e. fixing up of symbolic + links). See docs for --rpfix and --norpfix flags of `wimlib-imagex + capture' and `wimlib-imagex apply'. + + The performance of splitting and joining WIMs should be slightly + improved. + + The compression and decompression functions are now exported from the + library. + +Version 1.3.2: + Improvements and bugfixes for the Windows build. + + Added --strict-acls options. + + Fixed the way that wimlib determines the order of images in the WIM. + +Version 1.3.1: + Since wimlib can now be used on Windows, wimlib's implementation of + ImageX has been renamed to wimlib-imagex to avoid confusion with + Microsoft's implementation of ImageX, which would have the same file + name ("imagex.exe"). 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.
