+Version 1.7.2-BETA:
+       Made yet another round of performance improvements to the XPRESS, LZX,
+       and LZMS compressors.
+
+       On Windows, wimextract and its underlying library function
+       wimlib_extract_paths() will no longer fail if given a target directory
+       path ending in a slash.

-       Currently, the default level in all cases is 50.  This capability
-       deprecates the '--compress-slow' (or '--recompress-slow') option to
-       several wimlib-imagex commands.
-
-       The '--pack-streams', '--pack-compress', and '--pack-chunk-size' options
-       to several wimlib-imagex commands have been deprecated in favor of more
-       "standard" names: '--solid', '--solid-compress', and

-       The XPRESS compressor no longer supports chunks larger than 65536 bytes.
-       There is little point in having larger chunks, since the LZ77 sliding
-       window for XPRESS cannot be larger than 65536 bytes.  This change does
-       not affect the default XPRESS chunk size, which is 32768.
+       Made a minor change to the LZMS compressor and decompressor to fix an
+       incompatibility with the Microsoft implementation.  In the unlikely
+       event that you created an LZMS-compressed WIM with wimlib v1.7.0 or
+       earlier and a checksum error is reported when extracting files from it
+       with wimlib v1.7.1, decompress it with v1.7.0 then compress it with
+       v1.7.1.

 
 

-       The new (as of v1.7.0) extraction code will no longer run out of file
-       handles when extracting many (1000+) identical files.
+       Added 'verify' subcommand to wimlib-imagex.

+       Notable library changes:

 
                Custom compressor parameters have been removed from the library
                in favor of the simpler level-based API.
 
                Decompressor parameters have been removed entirely.

-               The maximum XPRESS chunk size has been reduced, as mentioned
-               above.
-
-               Library users can now initialize and de-initialize the library
-               multiple times in one run of an application program.
-
-               Library users will now receive WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_WRITE_STREAMS
-               and WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_STREAMS messages more frequently
-               when writing or extracting large WIM files.
-
-               Added experimental new write flag:
-               WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_SEND_DONE_WITH_FILE_MESSAGES.
-

                Library users can now specify a custom file for warning and
                error messages to be sent to, rather than the default of
                standard error.
