 Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
 
 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
        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.

-       old behavior.
+       WIMs will now retain their GUIDs when rebuilt (e.g. with wimoptimize).

 
 

-       Fixed reading out-of-order entries in lookup table of version 3584 WIM /
-       ESD files.
+       The 'mkwinpeimg' script now supports writing the ISO image to standard
+       output.
+
+       On Windows, sparse file attributes are no longer set on extracted files.

 
        The shared library version has been bumped up; however, there are only a
        few incompatibilities:
