        'add' commands passed to wimupdate will now replace existing
        nondirectory files by default.  Use the --no-replace option to get the

-       Improved extraction performance on Windows, especially for ESD files.
+       Added support for "WIMBoot" capture and extraction.  See the
+       documentation for the new '--wimboot' option to wimcapture and wimapply
+       for more information.
 
-       Added support for "WIMBoot".  On any platform, you can now capture a WIM
-       as WIMBoot-compatible.  In addition, on Windows, you can now apply a WIM
-       archive in a special mode that causes extracted files to be externally
-       backed by the WIM archive.  See the documentation for the new
-       '--wimboot' option to wimcapture and wimapply for more information.
+       Removed the --hardlink and --symlink options to wimapply, since I don't
+       think they are too useful and they got in the way of improving the code.
 
        WIMs will now retain their GUIDs when rebuilt (e.g. with wimoptimize).
