 	Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files:
 	    - Add support for reading and writing multiple solid blocks per
 	      archive, which WIMGAPI/DISM can create when appending an image.
 	    - Correctly create solid blocks larger than 4 GiB.

 	'add' commands passed to wimupdate will now replace existing
 	nondirectory files by default.  Use the --no-replace option to get the
 	old behavior.
 
+	The license for the library now contains an exception that allows using

 	In reparse-point fixup mode (the default for capture), symbolic links
 	and junctions that point outside the tree being captured are no longer
