Changelog

wit v3.05a r8638 2022/08/27

  • Mac support improved. Universal binaries for x86_64 and arm64.
  • New debug command for wit and wwt: ARGTEST: Print all scanned arguments as list. This helps to find out wrong parameters, especially for windows.
  • File ./sys/bi2.bin is optional now and will be created if missed.
  • File ./sys/bi2.bin offset 0x30 will be patched for a double layer image if the source was a single layer image.
  • Bug fix: Command wit edit --ios=NUMBER did not mark the image as modified, so the modified file was not written.
  • Bug fix: If only recursive sources (option --recurse) but no standard sources were specified, then "wit EXTRACT" was terminated prematurely.
  • Options --source=PATH and --recurse=PATH support now wildcards. In this case PATH is used as search pattern and all found files are added. In order to use this variant, the calling shell must not interpret the wildcards. Therefore, PATH must usually be enclosed in single or double quotes.
