-Version 1.9.0-BETA:
+Version 1.9.2-BETA:
+       On UNIX, wimlib can now overwrite readonly files when extracting.
+
+       On Windows, when applying a WIM image in "WIMBoot mode" when the WOF
+       driver is not loaded, wimlib can now correctly register a new WIM file
+       with the target volume when the target volume previously had had WIM
+       files unregistered.
+
+       Added a new testing program.
+
+Version 1.9.1:
+       Object IDs are now saved and restored on Windows and in NTFS-3G mode.
+
+       Reduced memory usage when exporting large numbers of WIM images.
+
+       Non UTF-8 locales are now detected correctly.
+
+       Addressed compiler warnings and enabled "silent" make rules by default.
+
+       Windows-specific updates:
+               Fixed a bug where duplicate backslashes could be generated in
+               link targets when extracting symbolic links and junctions.
+
+               Fixed a bug where the .cmd shortcuts for wimlib-imagex wouldn't
+               work if their full path contained a space.
+
+               Fixed bugs related to scanning SMB filesystems.
+
+               Added warning message about known issue with WindowsApps folder.
+
+               Added instructions for building from source on Windows.
+
+               VSS support is no longer marked "experimental".
+
+               Added missing license file for libdivsufsort-lite.
+
+Version 1.9.0:
        Added experimental support for Windows VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service).
        The new '--snapshot' argument to 'wimcapture' makes wimlib automatically
        create and use a temporary VSS snapshot when capturing a WIM image.

        architecture, system root, and version details.  This information is now
        automatically set in newly captured WIM images, when appropriate.
 
+       Improved performance of directory tree scans on Windows.
+
+       On Windows, to improve capture performance, wimlib now sometimes opens
+       files by inode number rather than by path.  This is enabled for
+       wimcapture and wimappend, but for now other applications have to opt-in.
+
+       The progress messages printed by wimlib-imagex while writing WIM files
+       have been slightly tweaked.
+
+       Progress information for directory tree scans now counts all hard links.
+       Also, on Windows "\\?\" is no longer stripped from the current path.
+
        Added a new '--image-property' option to 'wimcapture', 'wimappend', and
        'wiminfo'.  This option lets you assign values to elements in a WIM
        file's XML document by name.
