 Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
 
-Version 1.6.2 (BETA):
+Version 1.6.3-BETA:
+	'add' commands passed to wimupdate will now replace existing
+	nondirectory files by default.  Use the --no-replace option to get the
+	old behavior.
+
+	Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files.
+
+	Improved extraction performance on Windows, especially for ESD files.
+
+	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.
+
+	WIMs will now retain their GUIDs when rebuilt (e.g. with wimoptimize).
+
+	The 'mkwinpeimg' script now supports writing the ISO image to standard
+	output.
+
+	On Windows, sparse file attributes are no longer set on extracted files.
+
+	The shared library version has been bumped up; however, there are only a
+	few incompatibilities:
+
+		- WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_XPRESS is now 1 and
+		  WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_LZX is now 2 (so it's the same as
+		  WIMGAPI).
+
+		- 'struct wimlib_capture_config' has been removed.  The library
+		  now takes the path to the configuration file directly.  This
+		  affects wimlib_add_image(), wimlib_add_image_multisource(),
+		  and wimlib_update_image().  However no code changes are
+		  necessary if a NULL configuration was being used.
+
+		- Removed deprecated functions: some (de)compression functions,
+		  wimlib_extract_files(), and wimlib_print_metadata().
+
+		- WIM paths passed to progress functions now have a leading
+		  slash.
+
+	Made some documentation improvements.
+
+Version 1.6.2:
 	Case-insensitive comparisons of strings (e.g. filenames) containing
 	UTF-16 codepoints above 32767 are now done correctly.
 
 	Fixed build failure on Mac OS X.
 
-	The LZMS compression chunk size, or "dictionary size", may now be up to
-	1 GiB (2^30).
+	wimunmount now provides the '--new-image' option to cause changes to a
+	read-write mounted image to be committed as a new image rather than as
+	an update of the mounted image.  (The corresponding new library flag is
+	WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_NEW_IMAGE.)
+
+	The LZMS ("recovery") compression chunk size, or "dictionary size", may
+	now be up to 1 GiB (1,073,741,824 bytes).
 
-	The performance of LZX and LZMS compression with large chunk sizes has
-	been slightly improved.
+	The performance of LZX ("maximum") and LZMS ("recovery") compression
+	with large chunk sizes has been slightly improved.
 
 Version 1.6.1:
 	Stored files with size exactly 4 GiB (4,294,967,296 bytes) are now
