 Version 1.6.3-BETA:
+       'add' commands passed to wimupdate will now replace existing
+       nondirectory files by default.  Use the --no-replace option to get the
+       old behavior.
+
+       Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files.
+
+       Improved extraction performance on Windows, especially for ESD files.

        Added support for "WIMBoot".  On any platform, you can now capture a WIM

-       archive.  See the documentation for the new '--wimboot' option to
-       wimcapture and wimapply, respectively, for more information.
