-Version 1.7.3-BETA:
+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.
+
+       The file list printed by 'wimdir' is now sorted by the platform-specific
+       case sensitivity setting, rather than always case sensitively.  This
+       also affects the library function wimlib_iterate_dir_tree().
+
+       Fixed various issues related to capture/apply of EFS-encrypted files on
+       Windows.
+
+       On Windows, some error and warning messages have been improved.
+
+Version 1.7.4:
+       The Windows binary distribution no longer contains third party DLLs.
+       These dependencies are instead compiled directly into the libwim DLL.
+
+       Added more fixes for wimlib on non-x86 architectures such as ARM.
+
+       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.
