 Version 1.7.0-BETA:
-       Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files.
+       Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files:
+           - Add support for reading and writing multiple solid blocks per
+             archive, which WIMGAPI/DISM can create when appending an image.
+           - Correctly create solid blocks larger than 4 GiB.
 
-       Performance improvements, including for extraction.
+       Improved decompression, compression, and extraction performance.
 
        'add' commands passed to wimupdate will now replace existing
        nondirectory files by default.  Use the --no-replace option to get the
        old behavior.
 
+       In reparse-point fixup mode (the default for capture), symbolic links
+       and junctions that point outside the tree being captured are no longer
+       excluded from capture.
+
        Added support for "WIMBoot" capture and extraction.  See the
        documentation for the new '--wimboot' option to wimcapture and wimapply
        for more information.

        On Windows, sparse file attributes are no longer set on extracted files.
