wit v1.10a.beta r1428 - 2010-07-24  (correct version should be "v1.11a.beta")

 - Computed line breaks for error messages.
 - "wit COPY" accepts the options --id --name --ios --region to patch the
   image while copying.
 - New command: wit EDIT: Patch ISO images directly without copying.

wit v1.11a r1434 - 2010-07-26

 - Option --region: endian bug fix

wit v1.12a r1451 - 2010-08-01

 - Bug fix for option --sneek: Option --psel was not set in a correct way.
 - New command: wit CREATE TICKET/TMD: Create a ticket or tmd file from
   scratch. Options and parameters control the creation.
 - Composing: If files ticket.bin or tmd.bin missed or have a wrong size
   TICKET and/or TMD will be created automatically.
 - New command: wit MIX: Mix partitions from different sources into one
   new Wii disc image. "wit MIX" is EXPERIMENTAL!

Known bugs:
 - There a new problems while reading from non seekable sources (e.g. pipes).
   The reason is the complete new and more intelligent wiidisc lib which makes
   more lookups. I have to insert some code especially for pipes. My plans
   that copying multiple partition discs works too.
   ==> The best is to use a version <1.10 for pipes.

Missing docu:

 - wit commands ILIST + EXTRACT + EDIT
 - Option --show => see built in help

wit v1.13a r1468 - 2010-08-04

 - Command "wit MIX" accepts now the option --overlay: Partitions will
   be overlayed so that data from one partition is stored in unused areas
   of a other partition. To find the optimum order a permutation is done.
   Option --overlay limits the number of input partitions to 12, because
   the calculation is rated as O(2^n).  *** "wit MIX" is EXPERIMENTAL! ***
 - "wit MIX" wil accept the keyword 'psel' as alternative to 'select'.
   The reason is that 'select' accepts the same keyword list as --psel.
 - The disc subsystems recognize overlayes partitons. For overlayed
   partitions the --psel keyword "WHOLE" is ignored.
 - Command "wit DUMP" will print an info line for overlayed partitions.

wit v1.14a r1506 - 2010-08-09

 - Option --psel redesigned: it is now possible to allow or deny any partiton
   by partiton type, partiton table and/or by partiton index. Only with the
   unambiguous partiton index it is possible to select the one wanted DATA
   partition if multiple exists.
 - New option --rm-files: This patching option defines filter rules to remove
   real files and directories from the FST of the DATA partition. Fake signing
   of the TMD is necessary.
 - New option --zero-files: This patching option defines filter rules to zero
   (set size to zero) real files of the FST of the DATA partition. Fake
   signing$ of the TMD is necessary.
 - New option --ignore-files: This option defines filter rules to ignore
   system and real directories and files of the FST of the DATA partition.
   Fake signing is not necessary, but the partition becomes invalid, because
   the content of some files is not copied.
 - New qualifier for "wit MIX": "IGNORE ruleset": Ignore files when copying a
   disc image. See http://wit.wiimm.de/wit/cmd-mix.html#ignore for details.
 - Some modification for expanding '@file' parameters: wit MIX needs control.
 - wit MIX: A new algorithm for 2 partitions: It tries every possible shift to
   find the best overlay. All holes in both partitions are relevant.
 - wit MIX: Before creating the image a additional verify function is called.
   This function controls that no sector is used by more than one partition.
   With verbose level >=3 an usage map is printed too.
