 Version 1.8.3-BETA:
        Fixed a bug with libntfs-3g extraction present since v1.8.1.  Sometimes,
        some Microsoft software would not correctly recognize data in the
-       resulting filesystem.  Users of the (UNIX-only) NTFS-3g based WIM
-       extraction support should not use wimlib v1.8.1 or wimlib v1.8.2.
+       resulting filesystem.
+
+       Made some small improvements to the compression algorithms:
+               LZX compression ratio was slightly improved.
+               XPRESS compression ratio and speed was slightly improved.
+               LZMS compression speed was slightly improved.
+
+       Improved handling of WIM XML data.  wimlib no longer drops unrecognized
+       elements when exporting images.  In addition, two API functions were
+       added for better access to elements in the XML document:
+       wimlib_get_image_property() and wimlib_set_image_property().
+
+       Added support for (unsafe) in-place compaction of WIM files.
+
+       Improved performance of image export by reusing metadata resources
+       instead of always rebuilding and recompressing them.
+
+       Improved performance of wimlib_update_image() by delaying the update to
+       the WIM's XML document until a write is requested.
+
+       On Windows, the target of an extraction may now be a reparse point.
