+Version 1.9.2-BETA:
+ On UNIX, wimlib can now overwrite readonly files when extracting.
+
+ On Windows, when applying a WIM image in "WIMBoot mode" when the WOF
+ driver is not loaded, wimlib can now correctly register a new WIM file
+ with the target volume when the target volume previously had had WIM
+ files unregistered.
+
+ Added a new testing program.
+
+ Clarified the main license text and updated public domain dedications
+ for certain files to be more thorough.
+
+Version 1.9.1:
+ Object IDs are now saved and restored on Windows and in NTFS-3G mode.
+
+ Reduced memory usage when exporting large numbers of WIM images.
+
+ Non UTF-8 locales are now detected correctly.
+
+ Addressed compiler warnings and enabled "silent" make rules by default.
+
+ Windows-specific updates:
+ Fixed a bug where duplicate backslashes could be generated in
+ link targets when extracting symbolic links and junctions.
+
+ Fixed a bug where the .cmd shortcuts for wimlib-imagex wouldn't
+ work if their full path contained a space.
+
+ Fixed bugs related to scanning SMB filesystems.
+
+ Added warning message about known issue with WindowsApps folder.
+
+ Added instructions for building from source on Windows.
+
+ VSS support is no longer marked "experimental".
+
+ Added missing license file for libdivsufsort-lite.
+
+Version 1.9.0:
+ 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.
+
+ The wimlib_get_image_property() and wimlib_set_image_property() API
+ functions now support numerically indexed elements.
+
+ Fixed a bug where, on Windows, wimlib would change the security
+ descriptor of the target directory of an extraction even when the
+ '--no-acls' option was specified.
+
+Version 1.8.3:
+ 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.
+
+ 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
+ (which will be dereferenced).
+
+ On Windows, wimlib now correctly restores non-Microsoft reparse points.
+ However, this remains broken in NTFS-3g mode due to a libntfs-3g bug.
+
+ On Windows, wimlib now has improved performance when archiving files
+ from a filesystem backed by a WIM (a "WIMBoot" setup).
+
+ Several improvements to System Compression (compact mode) support:
+
+ wof.sys (or wofadk.sys) is now automatically attached to the
+ target volume if needed.
+
+ Compact-mode extractions now work correctly with wofadk.sys on
+ older versions of Windows.
+
+ For compatibility with the Windows bootloader, the requested
+ compression format now is overridden on certain files.
+
+ Other minor bugfixes.
+
+Version 1.8.2:
+ This release primarily contains various minor bug fixes and
+ improvements, including:
+
+ Improved handling of deep directory structures.
+
+ Fixed a bug where on 32-bit systems, the library could enter an
+ infinite loop if a WIM file was malformed in a specific way.
+
+ Added a workaround for a case where libntfs-3g may report
+ duplicate streams in an NTFS file.
+
+ Windows symbolic links and junctions in mounted WIM images are
+ now automatically rewritten to be valid in the mounted location.
+
+ Reparse point fixes: correctly handle the "ReparseReserved"
+ field, and correctly handle "empty" (data-less) reparse points.
+
+ On Windows, wimlib now acquires SeManageVolumePrivilege, which
+ is needed to create externally backed files using the
+ "wofadk.sys" driver.
+
+ Improved validation of filenames.
+
+ Improved LZMS decompression speed.
+
+ The configure script now honors alternate pkg-config settings.
+
+ Links have been updated to point to the new website.
+
+ In addition, experimental support has been added for compressing
+ extracted files using System Compression on Windows 10. This
+ functionality is available through the new '--compact' option to
+ 'wimapply' and 'wimextract' as well as new library flags.
