-Version 1.7.1-BETA:
+Version 1.7.2-BETA:
+	Made yet another round of performance improvements to the XPRESS, LZX,
+	and LZMS compressors.
 
-	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.
+	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.
 
-	The performance of LZX compression in its default settings has been
-	improved by a further 5-10%.
+Version 1.7.1:
+	Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
 
 	The default compression mode for wimcapture is now LZX compression in
 	its default mode, which is the same as '--compress=maximum'.
 
 	You can now specify an optional integer compression level to the
-	'--compress' or '--solid-compress' options; e.g.  '--compress=lzx:75'.
-	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
-	'--solid-chunk-size', respectively.
+	'--compress' option; e.g. '--compress=lzx:75'.
 
-	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.
 
-	Library changes:
+	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.
 
+		New progress messages:
+		WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE,
+		WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
+
+		New function: wimlib_verify_wim().
+
 Version 1.7.0:
 	Improved compression, decompression, and extraction performance.
