 Version 1.7.1-BETA:
 Version 1.7.1-BETA:

+       Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
+
+       The default compression mode for wimcapture is now LZX compression in
+       its default mode, which is the same as '--compress=maximum'.
+
+       You can now specify an optional integer compression level to the
+       '--compress' option; e.g. '--compress=lzx:75'.

        with wimlib v1.7.1, decompress it with v1.7.0 then compress it with
        v1.7.1.
 

-       The performance of LZX compression in its default settings has been
-       improved by a further 5-10%.
-
-       The default compression mode for wimcapture is now LZX compression in
-       its default mode, which is the same as '--compress=maximum'.
-
-       You can now specify an optional integer compression level to the
-       '--compress' or '--solid-compress' options; e.g.  '--compress=lzx:75'.
-       Currently, the default level in all cases is 50.  This capability
-       deprecates the '--compress-slow' (or '--recompress-slow') option to
-       several wimlib-imagex commands.
-
-       The '--pack-streams', '--pack-compress', and '--pack-chunk-size' options
-       to several wimlib-imagex commands have been deprecated in favor of more
-       "standard" names: '--solid', '--solid-compress', and
-       '--solid-chunk-size', respectively.
-
-       Added 'verify' subcommand to 'wimlib-imagex'.
-
-       The XPRESS compressor no longer supports chunks larger than 65536 bytes.
-       There is little point in having larger chunks, since the LZ77 sliding
-       window for XPRESS cannot be larger than 65536 bytes.  This change does
-       not affect the default XPRESS chunk size, which is 32768.
-
-       The new (as of v1.7.0) extraction code will no longer run out of file
-       handles when extracting many (1000+) identical files.
+       Added 'verify' subcommand to wimlib-imagex.

 
 

-       Library changes:
+       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.

                Decompressor parameters have been removed entirely.
 

-               The maximum XPRESS chunk size has been reduced, as mentioned
-               above.
-
-               Library users can now initialize and de-initialize the library
-               multiple times in one run of an application program.
-
-               Library users will now receive WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_WRITE_STREAMS
-               and WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_STREAMS messages more frequently
-               when writing or extracting large WIM files.
-
-               Added experimental new write flag:
-               WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_SEND_DONE_WITH_FILE_MESSAGES.
-

                Library users can now specify a custom file for warning and
                error messages to be sent to, rather than the default of
                standard error.
