+Version 1.5.3:
+       The new LZX compressor added in v1.5.2 has been improved and is now
+       enabled by default, except when `wimcapture' or `wimappend' is run
+       *without* the '--compress' option, in which case the faster LZX
+       compressor is used (the same as before).  This behavior is reasonably
+       consistent with ImageX which actually uses "fast" (XPRESS) compression
+       by default.  In those cases, use '--compress=maximum' to explicitly
+       capture a WIM image using the new (slower but better) LZX compressor.
+
+       The '--compress-slow' option still exists to `wimlib-imagex optimize',
+       but its new behavior is to tweak the new LZX compressor even more to
+       produce an even better compression ratio at the cost of more time spent
+       compressing.
+
+       `wimlib-imagex optimize' now supports the '--compress=TYPE' option,
+       which recompresses the WIM file using the specified compression TYPE.
+       The new library API function used for this is
+       wimlib_set_output_compression_type().
+
+       Added the wimlib_get_xml_data() function to allow library clients to
+       easily retrieve the raw XML data from a WIM file if needed.
+
+       Fixed a bug that could cause an error code to be incorrectly returned
+       when writing XML data containing a <WINDOWS> element.
+
+       Mounted WIM images will now correctly show the default file stream even
+       if appears in the alternate data stream entries of the corresponding WIM
+       directory entry.

 Version 1.5.2:
        Added a new experimental LZX compressor which can be enabled by passing
        '--compress-slow' to `wimlib-imagex capture' or `wimlib-imagex
