They are used by some Windows software, + such as the Distributed Link Tracking Service. Object IDs are now + captured and applied both in NTFS-3g mode and on Windows when supported + by the filesystem. + + Reduced memory usage when exporting large numbers of WIM images. + + Made some minor build-related updates. Notably, enabled "silent" make + rules; this makes the output cleaner when building from source. + + Some Windows-specific updates: + Fixed a bug where duplicate backslashes could be generated in + link targets when extracting symbolic links and junctions. + + Fixed a bug where the .cmd shortcuts for wimlib-imagex would not + work if their full path contained a space. + + Fixed bugs when capturing a WIM image from a SMB filesystem. + + Added warning message about known issue with WindowsApps folder. + + Added instructions for building from source on Windows. + + VSS support is no longer marked "experimental". + + Added missing license file for libdivsufsort-lite. + +Version 1.9.0: + Added experimental support for Windows VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service). + The new '--snapshot' argument to 'wimcapture' makes wimlib automatically + create and use a temporary VSS snapshot when capturing a WIM image. + + Implemented setting of Windows-specific XML information, such as + architecture, system root, and version details. This information is now + automatically set in newly captured WIM images, when appropriate. + + Improved performance of directory tree scans on Windows. + + On Windows, to improve capture performance, wimlib now sometimes opens + files by inode number rather than by path. This is enabled for + wimcapture and wimappend, but for now other applications have to opt-in. + + The progress messages printed by wimlib-imagex while writing WIM files + have been slightly tweaked. + + Progress information for directory tree scans now counts all hard links. + Also, on Windows "\\?\" is no longer stripped from the current path. + + Added a new '--image-property' option to 'wimcapture', 'wimappend', and + 'wiminfo'. This option lets you assign values to elements in a WIM + file's XML document by name. + + The wimlib_get_image_property() and wimlib_set_image_property() API + functions now support numerically indexed elements. + + Fixed a bug where, on Windows, wimlib would change the security + descriptor of the target directory of an extraction even when the + '--no-acls' option was specified. + Version 1.8.3: Fixed a bug with libntfs-3g extraction present since v1.8.1. Sometimes, some Microsoft software would not correctly recognize data in the
