-Version 1.7.2-BETA:
-	More compression performance improvements.
+Version 1.7.5-BETA:
+	The performance of LZX compression has been improved by 15-20%.  This is
+	the default compression mode of wimlib-imagex.
 
-	Fixes for setting short names on Windows.
+Version 1.7.4:
+	The Windows binary distribution no longer contains third party DLLs.
+	These dependencies are instead compiled directly into the libwim DLL.
 
-	Faster "WIMBoot" extraction on Windows.
+	Added more fixes for wimlib on non-x86 architectures such as ARM.
 
-	Updated dependent DLLs in Windows release.  libxml2 is slimmed down.
+	Extracting files to a Windows PE in-memory filesystem no longer fails if
+	the target files do not yet exist.
+
+	Improved the performance of XPRESS compression and LZMS decompression.
+
+	Enabled SSSE3 accelerated SHA-1 computation in x86_64 Windows builds.
+	It will automatically be faster on newer Intel and AMD processors.
+
+	Removed the --with-imagex-progname and --enable-more-assertions
+	configure options.
+
+Version 1.7.3:
+	Fix for very slow export from solid WIM / ESD files.
+
+	Fix for LZX and LZMS algorithms on non-x86 architectures, such as ARM.
+
+	New progress message: WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_HANDLE_ERROR.  Applications
+	may use this to treat some types of errors as non-fatal.
+
+	The library now permits making in-memory changes to a WIMStruct backed
+	by a read-only WIM file.
+
+	Fixes for "WIMBoot" extraction mode (Windows only):
+
+		When not using the WOF driver, extraction no longer fails if the
+		disk containing the WIM file has too many partitions.
+
+		When matching patterns in [PrepopulateList], all hard links of
+		each file are now considered.
+
+		The system registry files are now automatically treated as being
+		in [PrepopulateList].
+
+		Added a hack to try to work around an intermittent bug in
+		Microsoft's WOF (Windows Overlay Filesystem) driver.
+
+Version 1.7.2:
+	Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
+
+	A number of improvements to the Windows port:
+
+		Fixes for setting short filenames.
+
+		Faster "WIMBoot" extraction.
+
+		Updated and slimmed down the dependent DLLs.
+
+		ACL inheritence bits are now restored.
+
+		Mandatory integrity labels are now backed up and restored.
+
+	Added a workaround for an issue where in rare cases, wimlib could create
+	a compressed data stream that could not be read correctly by Windows
+	after an extraction in "WIMBoot" mode.
