-Version 1.7.2-BETA:
-       More compression performance improvements.
+Version 1.7.3-BETA:
+       Fix for very slow export from solid WIM / ESD files.
 
-       Fixes for setting short names on Windows.
+       Fix for LZX and LZMS algorithms on non-x86 architectures, such as ARM.
 
-       Faster "WIMBoot" extraction on Windows.
+       New progress message: WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_HANDLE_ERROR.  Applications
+       may use this to treat some types of errors as non-fatal.
 
-       Updated dependent DLLs in Windows release.  libxml2 is slimmed down.
+       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.
