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'.
