-       The format of UNIX data has been changed.  If you captured any WIMs with
-       the --unix-data option, to upgrade them you'll need to apply them with
-       --unix-data using wimlib v1.6.2, then re-capture them with --unix-data
-       using this version.
+       On UNIX-like systems, you can now backup and restore device nodes, named
+       pipes, and sockets.  In addition, 32-bit user and group IDs are now
+       supported.
+
+       The way that UNIX data is stored in WIM files has been changed.  If you
+       captured any WIMs with the --unix-data option, to upgrade them you'll
+       need to apply them with --unix-data using wimlib-imagex v1.6.2, then
+       re-capture them with --unix-data using this version.

 
        wimlib now understands tagged metadata items, such as object IDs, that
        can be stored in WIM directory entries.
