On any platform, you can now capture a WIM + as WIMBoot-compatible. In addition, on Windows, specifically Windows + 8.1 Update 1 and later, you can now apply a WIM archive in a special + mode that causes extracted files to be externally backed by the WIM + archive. See the documentation for the new '--wimboot' option to + wimcapture and wimapply, respectively, for more information. + +Version 1.6.2: + Case-insensitive comparisons of strings (e.g. filenames) containing + UTF-16 codepoints above 32767 are now done correctly. + + Fixed build failure on Mac OS X. + + wimunmount now provides the '--new-image' option to cause changes to a + read-write mounted image to be committed as a new image rather than as + an update of the mounted image. (The corresponding new library flag is + WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_NEW_IMAGE.) + + The LZMS ("recovery") compression chunk size, or "dictionary size", may + now be up to 1 GiB (1,073,741,824 bytes). + + The performance of LZX ("maximum") and LZMS ("recovery") compression + with large chunk sizes has been slightly improved. + +Version 1.6.1: + Stored files with size exactly 4 GiB (4,294,967,296 bytes) are now + decompressed correctly. + + Fixed a bug in the LZX compressor introduced in v1.5.3. The bug + occurred in an unlikely case, and due to validity checks it did not + affect successfully created archives. + + Fixed a minor compatibility issue with the LZMS compressor and + decompressor. This is *not* the default compression type and was only + introduced in v1.6.0. In the unlikely event that you created an + LZMS-compressed WIM with v1.6.0 and a checksum error is reported when + applying it with v1.6.1, decompress it with v1.6.0 then compress it with + v1.6.1. + + Memory usage for LZMS and LZX compression has been decreased. + + wimextract now allows wildcard characters in paths specified on the + command line. Also, the '--strict-wildcards' option has been removed + and replaced with the inverse option '--nullglob'. See the + documentation for wimextract for more details and changes. + + The wimlib_extract_files() function is now considered deprecated in + favor of wimlib_extract_paths(). + + Fixed more permissions problems when extracting files on Windows. + + A new '--no-attributes' option has been added to wimapply and + wimextract. The library flag is WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_NO_ATTRIBUTES. + + The default chunk size is now set correctly when changing the + compression type of a WIM, for example with 'wimoptimize'. + + The '--metadata' option to wiminfo has been replaced with the + '--detailed' option to wimdir. + + In relevant wimlib-imagex commands, '--solid' may now be used as an + alias for '--pack-streams'. + Version 1.6.0: Support for extracting and updating the new version 3584 WIMs has been added.
