These commands are intended mainly + for Windows use but can be used on UNIX as well. + + Many documentation improvements. + + Fixed a bug in the Windows build where relative symbolic links were not + captured in reparse-point fixup mode. + + Fixed a bug in the Windows build where file handles were left open to + the WIM file, causing `wimlib_imagex optimize' to fail in some cases. + + Fixed a bug in the Windows build of wimlib-imagex where globbing + split-WIM parts could cause the program to crash. + + Fixed a bug where the creation time of WIM images would be shown instead + of the last modification time. + + With the Windows build it is now possible to restore a WIM containing + symbolic links as a non-Administrator; however you will receive warnings + about not being able to extract the symbolic links. + +Version 1.3.3: + Capturing a WIM image should now be significantly faster in most cases + due to improved use of the operating system's cache and avoiding reading + files twice whenever possible. + + The Windows build should now work on Windows XP. + + The Windows build now supports capturing and restoring hidden, + compressed, sparse, and encrypted files. + + The Windows build now supports capturing and applying WIM images from + filesystems other than NTFS (with some reduced functionality). + + The Windows build now extracts short names correctly. + + Added support for "reparse-point" fixups (i.e. fixing up of symbolic + links). See docs for --rpfix and --norpfix flags of `wimlib-imagex + capture' and `wimlib-imagex apply'. + + The performance of splitting and joining WIMs should be slightly + improved. + + The LZX and XPRESS compression and decompression functions are now + exported from the library. + +Version 1.3.2: + Improvements and bugfixes for the Windows build. + + Added --strict-acls options. + + Fixed the way that wimlib determines the order of images in the WIM. + Version 1.3.1: Since wimlib can now be used on Windows, wimlib's implementation of ImageX has been renamed to wimlib-imagex to avoid confusion with @@ -9,6 +64,15 @@ Version 1.3.1: or even simply rename the binary yourself (but the former way will configure the man pages to use the chosen name). + Various bugs fixed in the Windows build. Mainly to do with capturing + and restoring alternate data streams correctly in weird cases, and + requesting the correct privileges when opening files. Also added the + --noacls options to wimlib-imagex capture, append, and apply. + + Windows build again: FindFirstStreamW() and FindNextStreamW() are now + dynamically loaded, so this may make the library compatible with Windows + XP (however, there may still be other problems). + Version 1.3.0: Added experimental support for native Windows builds. Binaries can be downloaded from the SourceForge page.
