In the unlikely + event that you created an LZMS-compressed WIM with wimlib v1.7.0 or + earlier and a checksum error is reported when extracting files from it + with wimlib v1.7.1, decompress it with v1.7.0 then compress it with + v1.7.1. + + Added 'verify' subcommand to wimlib-imagex. + + Notable library changes: + + Custom compressor parameters have been removed from the library + in favor of the simpler level-based API. + + Decompressor parameters have been removed entirely. + + Library users can now specify a custom file for warning and + error messages to be sent to, rather than the default of + standard error. + + New progress messages: + WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE, + WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA. + + New function: wimlib_verify_wim(). + Version 1.7.0: Improved compression, decompression, and extraction performance.
