 Version 1.9.0-BETA:

        Added experimental support for Windows VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service).
        The new '--snapshot' argument to 'wimcapture' makes wimlib automatically
        create and use a temporary VSS snapshot when capturing a WIM image.
 
+       Implemented setting of Windows-specific XML information, such as
+       architecture, system root, and version details.  This information is now
+       automatically set in newly captured WIM images, when appropriate.
+
+       Improved performance of directory tree scans on Windows.
+
+       On Windows, to improve capture performance, wimlib now sometimes opens
+       files by inode number rather than by path.  This is enabled for
+       wimcapture and wimappend, but for now other applications have to opt-in.
+
+       The progress messages printed by wimlib-imagex while writing WIM files
+       have been slightly tweaked.
+
+       Progress information for directory tree scans now counts all hard links.
+       Also, on Windows "\\?\" is no longer stripped from the current path.
+
        Added a new '--image-property' option to 'wimcapture', 'wimappend', and
        'wiminfo'.  This option lets you assign values to elements in a WIM
        file's XML document by name.
