- Full WDF version 2 support:
- WDFv2 files are a little bit smaller and support alignment.
- Parts of the WDF library have been rewritten to support WDFv2 and alignment. A side effect is a more compact code and a better chunk management if modifiying WDF files.
- Option --wdf forces WDF output, the version is definied automatically.
- Option --wdf1 forces WDFv1 output.
- Option --wdf2 forces WDFv2 output.
- Option --align-wdf defines an alignment between 1 and 1GiB (power of 2) and optional the minimal hole size before creating a new chunk.
- 'wit EDIT' supports --wdf1 and --wdf2 to allow version conversions.

- Support of split files of CleanRip: If reading a plain ISO file named '*.part0', the other parts are detected as continuation files.

- Windows only: Cygwin update to v1.7.28 2014-02-09.

wit v2.27a r4908 - 2014-01-31

- Bug fix: If extracting a GameCube image, files larger than 4 MiB are damaged at beginning of this 4 MiB offset.

- New feature: If creating a GCZ image, a blockwise z-compression is tried. If the compressed data is larger than 98.5%, the uncompressed data is stored. New is, that encrypted blocks are stored directly as uncompressed data, because encrypted are very bad compression candidates and the 98.5% test fails all the time. This makes GCZ creation faster. The new option --gcz-zip disables this optimization for encrypted data.

- New option: --gcz-block=size: Define the block size for GCZ creation. The default size is 16K (also Dolphins default).

- Tool 'wdf' supports info dumps of GCZ files to verify the GCZ creation.

- New command for wit+wwt: FEATURES: Print a list of supported features. The output is machine readable. Scripts may use "wit features -qq" and check the exit status.

- Reading support for the comming WDF v2. Details: http://wit.wiimm.de/WDF
Writing support will follow, if EDIT is implemented too.
