Changes that fix something that was previously not working, to working:
We've changed the way to download UEFI: NTFS support filesystem image, it is previously downloaded directly from GitHub but users in China have problems accessing it due to the intentional DNS pollution implemented by their government. We now download it via the jsDelivr CDN to work around this issue.
We have evaluated jsDelivr CDN beforehand and determined that it is trustworthy to rely on, however, if you have any reasonable concerns to revert or customize this change please feel free to file an issue on our issue tracker.
We would like to thank:

We've fixed a problem where WoeUSB will error during the preparation process due to the recent UEFI:NTFS image size changes(#81, #82). We would like to apologize for the frustration in the time being as we are unable to deliver the fix as soon as possible(the maintainer was unfortunately run out of capacity and were unable to respond to the incident).
We would like to thank:
We've fixed incompatibility when the script is provided to the interpreter via the standard input device(stdin) (7fec845)

This release incorporates the following changes:
Changes that introduce new features or functionalities:
We've implemented the support to prepare FAT32 devices using a Windows source image with WIM archives that are over the FAT32 file size limit(4GiB). It works by using the file splitting feature of wimlib to split oversized WIM archives to be under the file size limit, thus are able to put into the FAT32 filesystem. This shrinks the preparation time of a Windows 10 20H2 v2 source image from ~30min. to 2:13!
We would like to thank @varred at GitLab for the WinToUsbLinux implementation which is served as a reference for this feature.
As a side effect, WoeUSB now requires an installation of wimlib as a runtime dependency.
Changes that ensure that WoeUSB can be legally distributed and (re)used as much as possible.
