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 now works on Windows XP. + 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. - On the Windows build, hidden directories are now correctly restored as - hidden. Also compressed, encrypted, and sparse files are now restored - as such. + 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 compression and decompression functions are now exported from the - library. + 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.
