Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
Version 1.6.3-BETA:
+ 'add' commands passed to wimupdate will now replace existing

+ old behavior.

Added support for "WIMBoot". On any platform, you can now capture a WIM
as WIMBoot-compatible. In addition, on Windows, you can now apply a WIM
archive in a special mode that causes extracted files to be externally
backed by the WIM archive. See the documentation for the new
'--wimboot' option to wimcapture and wimapply for more information.
