Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.

Version 1.5.1:
	wimlib can now open WinPE WIMs from WAIK v2.1, which had a quirk that
	needed to be handled.

	A bug in the interpretation of negative IMAGE indices in the
	--update-of=[WIMFILE:]IMAGE option to `wimlib-imagex capture' and
	`wimlib-imagex append' has been fixed.

	A workaround has been added to successfully apply security descriptors
	with empty DACLs when the NTFS-3g apply mode is being used with NTFS-3g
	2013.1.13 or earlier.

	`wimlib-imagex capture' can now accept the '--delta-from' option
	multiple times.

Version 1.5.0:
	Added support for "pipable" WIMs.  Pipable WIMs allow capturing images
	to standard output and applying images from standard input, but they are
	not compatible with Microsoft's software and are not created by default.
	See the documentation for --pipable flag of `wimlib-imagex capture' for
	more information.

	To better support incremental backups, added support for declaring an
	image as a modified form of another image.  See the documentation for
	the '--update-of' option of `wimlib-imagex append' and `wimlib-imagex
	capture'.

	Added supported for "delta" WIMs.  See the documentation for the
	'--delta-from' option of `wimlib-imagex capture'.

	The library support for managing split WIMs has been changed to support
	other arrangements, such as delta WIMs, and be easier to use.  This
	change is visible in `wimlib-imagex', which also can now accept the
	'--ref' option multiple times, and also now supports "delta" WIMs as
	mentioned above.

	wimlib now preserves WIM integrity tables by default, even if
	WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not specified.  This changes the
	behavior of `wimlib-imagex' whenever the WIM being operated on contains
	an integrity table and the '--check' option is not specified.

	`wimlib-imagex capture' now creates LZX-compressed WIMs by default
	(when --compress is not specified).  This provides the best compression
	ratio by default, which is usually what is desired, at a cost of some
	speed.

	`wimlib-imagex' now supports being invoked as wimCOMMAND, where COMMAND
	is the command as in `wimlib-imagex COMMAND'; for example, it can be
	invoked as `wimapply' as an alternative to `wimlib-imagex apply'.  The
	appropriate hard links are created in UNIX installations of
	`wimlib-imagex', while for the Windows distribution of `wimlib-imagex',
	batch files that emulate this behavior are generated.

	Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows.

	Fixed archiving DOS names in NTFS-3g capture mode.

	The extraction code has been rewritten and it will now be easier to
	support new features on all supported backends (currently Win32, UNIX,
	and NTFS-3g).  For example, hard-linked extraction mode (--hardlink) is
	now supported on all backends, not just UNIX.

	`mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather
	than the WAIK itself.

	wimlib_global_init() now, by default, attempts to acquire additional
	privileges on Windows, so library clients need not do this.

	This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it is
	not binary compatibible with previous releases.

Version 1.4.2:
	Fixed bug in `wimlib-imagex export' that made it impossible to export an
	image from a WIM that is readonly at the filesystem level.

	Return error code rather than segfaulting when trying to list files from
	a non-first part of a split WIM.

	Joining a WIM will now preserve the RP_FIX and READONLY flags.

Version 1.4.1:
	On Windows, paths given to wimlib-imagex are now treated case
	insensitively.

	Improved behavior regarding invalid filenames; in particular, on
	Windows, wimlib-imagex will, when extracting, now omit (with an option
	to override this default) filenames differing only in case, or filenames
	containing characters not valid on Windows.

	On Windows, wimlib now supports capturing and extracting long paths
	(longer than the so-called MAX_PATH).

	On Windows, `wimlib-imagex update' now acquires proper privileges when
	running as an Administrator.

	`wimlib-imagex update' will now complain if no image is specified when
	trying to update a multi-image WIM.

	`wimlib-imagex update' now supports specifying a single update command
	directly on the command line using the --command option.

	wimlib-imagex will now choose different units for progress messages,
	depending on the amount of data that needs to be processed.

	`wimlib-imagex append' will now generate a unique WIM image name if no
	name is specified and the defaulted name already exists in the WIM.

	wimlib now allows you to create unnamed WIM images, which can then only
	be referred to by index.

	wimlib now allows you to explicitly declare you want write access to a
	WIM by providing the WIMLIB_OPEN_FLAG_WRITE_ACCESS flag to
	wimlib_open_wim().

	wimlib now respects the WIM_HDR_FLAG_READONLY flag when set in the WIM
	header.

	Progress callbacks have been added to wimlib's wimlib_update_image()
	function.

	Added wimlib_get_wim_info(), wimlib_set_wim_info(),
	wimlib_iterate_dir_tree(), and wimlib_iterate_lookup_table() functions
	to the library.

	NTFS-3g capture now only warns about two conditions previously treated
	as errors.

	Fixed a couple issues with using wimlib-imagex on UDF filesystems on
	Windows.

	wimlib now correctly detects and returns an error when reading a WIM
	image with a cyclic directory structure.  (Fun fact: such a WIM will
	crash Microsoft's software.)

Version 1.4.0:
	Added new "extract" and "update" subcommands to wimlib-imagex, along
	with associated APIs in the library.  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
	Microsoft's implementation of ImageX, which would have the same file
	name ("imagex.exe").  If you really don't like this you can pass the
	--with-imagex-progname option to `configure' to choose a different name,
	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.

	--source-list option added to `imagex capture' and `imagex append'.

	Better support for different character encodings.

Version 1.2.6:
	Storing UNIX file owners, groups, and modes in WIM images is now
	possible using `imagex capture' with the --unix-data flag.

	Minor bug fixes and documentation fixes.

Version 1.2.5:
	NTFS capture: Fixed capturing duplicate reparse points.

	NTFS capture: Capture first unnamed stream if there are more than one
	(print warning instead of error).

	Allow multiple test cases to execute concurrently (e.g. make -j2 check).

Version 1.2.4:
	Added --arch switch to mkwinpeimg script to support getting AMD64 WinPE
	from the WAIK.

	Update to work with ntfs-3g version 2013.1.13.

Version 1.2.3:
	Fixed truncating file to shorter but non-zero length on read-write
	mounted WIM image.

	Various code cleanups and minor documentation fixes.

Version 1.2.2:
	LZX and XPRESS decompression have received some additional optimizations
	and should now be even faster.  (Although, they were already pretty
	fast--- much faster than typical I/O speeds.)

	Fixed a bug introduced in v1.2.1 that would cause a directory tree
	containing hard links to be captured incorrectly in some cases.

Version 1.2.1:
	By default, unmounting a read-write mounted WIM with 'imagex unmount
	--commit' will now change the WIM in-place without needing to write the
	entire WIM again.  Use 'imagex unmount --commit --rebuild' to get the
	old behavior.

	'imagex unmount' no longer has a hard-coded limit of 10 minutes to wait
	for a response from the daemon servicing the mounted WIM.  Instead,
	every second 'imagex unmount' will check if the daemon is still alive,
	and keep waiting if so, otherwise terminate with an error.

	'imagex unmount --commit' on a read-write mounted WIM will now print
	progress information regarding the writing of new or modified streams
	the WIM, just like when capturing or appending a WIM.

	A small change has been made to XPRESS compression and it should improve
	the compression ratio slightly.

	A change was made that may improve performance slightly when applying a
	WIM image to a NTFS volume.

	Microsoft has managed to introduce even more bugs into their software,
	and now the WIMs for Windows 8 have incorrect (too low) reference counts
	for some streams.  This is unsafe because such streams can be removed
	when they are in actuality still referenced in the WIM (perhaps by a
	different image).  wimlib will now work around this problem by fixing
	the stream reference counts.  This is only done when wimlib_delete_image() is
	called ('imagex delete') or when wimlib_mount_image() is called with
	WIMLIB_MOUNT_FLAG_READWRITE ('imagex mountrw').  Please note that this
	requires reading the metadata for all images in the WIM, so this will
	make these operations noticably slower on WIMs with multiple images.

	Various other bugfixes.

Version 1.2.0:
	Appending images to a WIM is now be done by default without re-building
	the whole WIM.  Use the --rebuild flag to get the old behavior (which
	was to re-build the entire WIM when a new image is appended).

	A new command `imagex optimize' is now available to manually re-build a
	WIM that has wasted space due to repeated appends.

	Progress information has been improved, and now arbitrary callback
	functions can be used to show the progress of a WIM operation.

	A possible bug with changing the bootable image of a WIM was fixed.

	Some advisory locking is now done to prevent two processes from
	modifying a WIM at the same time (but only in some cases).  For example,
	you cannot mount two images from a WIM read-write at the same time.

	Some functions have been reorganized:
		* wimlib_mount() renamed to wimlib_mount_image().
		* wimlib_unmount() renamed to wimlib_unmount_image().
		* wimlib_overwrite_xml_and_header() removed as
		wimlib_overwrite() suffices now.
		* wimlib_apply_image_to_ntfs_volume() removed as
		wimlib_extract_image() suffices now.
		* wimlib_add_image_from_ntfs_volume() removed as
		* wimlib_add_image() suffices now.

	Previously, the soname of libwim.so has been 0.0.0, despite many
	interface changes.  The soname is now updated to 1.0.0 and will now be
	updated each release.

Version 1.1.0:
	Resources will now be compressed using multiple threads by default.
	(This applies to `imagex capture', `imagex append', and `imagex
	export').

	Some performance improvements in mounted WIMs.

	More progress information is shown when capturing a WIM.

Version 1.0.4:
	Lots of minor fixes, code cleanups, and some documentation updates.
	Nothing in particular is really noteworthy.

Version 1.0.3:
	LZX and XPRESS compression improvements.

	Fixed calculation of Directory Count, File Count, Total Bytes, and Hard
	Link Bytes of the WIM.

Version 1.0.2:
	Fixed bug when capturing NTFS file with multiple named data streams.

	Internally, we are now using inode structures, even though these don't
	appear literally in the WIM file.  This simplifies some of the code
	(mainly for WIM mounting) and likely fixed a few problems, although it
	needs more testing.

Version 1.0.1:
	Fixed problem when exporting images from XPRESS to LZX compressed WIM or
	vice versa

Version 1.0.0:
	Enough changes to call it version 1.0.0!

	Capturing a WIM directly from a NTFS volume, and applying a WIM directly
	to a NTFS volume, is now supported.

	Hard links and symbolic links have much improved support.  They are
	supported for WIM capture, WIM application, and mounted WIMs (you can
	even make them on read-write mounted WIMs).

	Alternate data streams are now supported on mounted WIMs through an
	xattr or a Windows-style stream interface.  Also they are supported when
	capturing a WIM from NTFS or applying a WIM to NTFS.

	Split WIMs are better supported.  You may now apply an image directly
	from a split WIM, mount an image from a split WIM read-only, or export
	an image from a split WIM.

	Using a capture configuration file is now supported (but not fully yet).

	SHA1 message digests are checked in more places, so we can make sure
	applied and captured data is correct.

	Man pages have been updated and consolidated.

Version 0.7.2:
	Fixed segfault when unmounting read-only WIM.

Version 0.7.1:
	Support for joining and splitting WIMs.
	Also, security data is now preserved by default.

Version 0.6.3:
	Can now build with older gcc and system headers, like on CentOS 5.

Version 0.6.2:
	Fixed bug that made it impossible to overwrite files in read-write
	mount.

Version 0.6.1:
	Write byte-order mark before WIM XML data.  (imagex.exe requires this to
	be there.)
