See the documentation for + the '--update-of' option of `wimlib-imagex append' and `wimlib-imagex + capture'. + + Added supported for "delta" WIMs. See the documentation for the + '--delta-from' option of `wimlib-imagex capture'. + + The library support for managing split WIMs has been changed to support + other arrangements, such as delta WIMs, and be easier to use. This + change is visible in `wimlib-imagex', which also can now accept the + '--ref' option multiple times, and also now supports "delta" WIMs as + mentioned above. + + wimlib now preserves WIM integrity tables by default, even if + WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not specified. This changes the + behavior of `wimlib-imagex' whenever the WIM being operated on contains + an integrity table and the '--check' option is not specified. + + `wimlib-imagex capture' now creates LZX-compressed WIMs by default + (when --compress is not specified). This provides the best compression + ratio by default, which is usually what is desired, at a cost of some + speed. + + `wimlib-imagex' now supports being invoked as wimCOMMAND, where COMMAND + is the command as in `wimlib-imagex COMMAND'; for example, it can be + invoked as `wimapply' as an alternative to `wimlib-imagex apply'. The + appropriate hard links are created in UNIX installations of + `wimlib-imagex', while for the Windows distribution of `wimlib-imagex', + batch files that emulate this behavior are generated. + + Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows. + + Fixed archiving DOS names in NTFS-3g capture mode. + + The extraction code has been rewritten and it will now be easier to + support new features on all supported backends (currently Win32, UNIX, + and NTFS-3g). For example, hard-linked extraction mode (--hardlink) is + now supported on all backends, not just UNIX. + + `mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather + than the WAIK itself. + + wimlib_global_init() now, by default, attempts to acquire additional + privileges on Windows, so library clients need not do this. + + This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it is + not binary compatibible with previous releases. + +Version 1.4.2: + Fixed bug in `wimlib-imagex export' that made it impossible to export an + image from a WIM that is readonly at the filesystem level. + + Return error code rather than segfaulting when trying to list files from + a non-first part of a split WIM. + + Joining a WIM will now preserve the RP_FIX and READONLY flags. + Version 1.4.1: On Windows, paths given to wimlib-imagex are now treated case insensitively. @@ -34,13 +103,25 @@ Version 1.4.1: WIM by providing the WIMLIB_OPEN_FLAG_WRITE_ACCESS flag to wimlib_open_wim(). + wimlib now respects the WIM_HDR_FLAG_READONLY flag when set in the WIM + header. + Progress callbacks have been added to wimlib's wimlib_update_image() function. + Added wimlib_get_wim_info(), wimlib_set_wim_info(), + wimlib_iterate_dir_tree(), and wimlib_iterate_lookup_table() functions + to the library. + NTFS-3g capture now only warns about two conditions previously treated as errors. - Fixed a couple issues with using wimlib-imagex on UDF filesystems. + Fixed a couple issues with using wimlib-imagex on UDF filesystems on + Windows. + + wimlib now correctly detects and returns an error when reading a WIM + image with a cyclic directory structure.
