+Version 1.3.3:
+       Capturing a WIM image should now be significantly faster in most cases
+       due to improved use of the operating system's cache and avoiding reading
+       files twice whenever possible.
+
+       The Windows build now works on Windows XP.
+
+       On the Windows build, hidden directories are now correctly restored as
+       hidden.  Also compressed, encrypted, and sparse files are now restored
+       as such.
+
+       The performance of splitting and joining WIMs should be slightly
+       improved.
+
+       The compression and decompression functions are now exported from the
+       library.
+
+Version 1.3.2:
+       Improvements and bugfixes for the Windows build.
+
+       Added --strict-acls options.
+
+       Fixed the way that wimlib determines the order of images in the WIM.
+
+Version 1.3.1:
+       Since wimlib can now be used on Windows, wimlib's implementation of
+       ImageX has been renamed to wimlib-imagex to avoid confusion with
+       Microsoft's implementation of ImageX, which would have the same file
+       name ("imagex.exe").  If you really don't like this you can pass the
+       --with-imagex-progname option to `configure' to choose a different name,
+       or even simply rename the binary yourself (but the former way will
+       configure the man pages to use the chosen name).
+
+       Various bugs fixed in the Windows build.  Mainly to do with capturing
+       and restoring alternate data streams correctly in weird cases, and
+       requesting the correct privileges when opening files.  Also added the
+       --noacls options to wimlib-imagex capture, append, and apply.
+
+       Windows build again: FindFirstStreamW() and FindNextStreamW() are now
+       dynamically loaded, so this may make the library compatible with Windows
+       XP (however, there may still be other problems).
+
+Version 1.3.0:
+       Added experimental support for native Windows builds.  Binaries can be
+       downloaded from the SourceForge page.
+
+       --source-list option added to `imagex capture' and `imagex append'.
+
+       Better support for different character encodings.
+
+Version 1.2.6:
+       Storing UNIX file owners, groups, and modes in WIM images is now
+       possible using `imagex capture' with the --unix-data flag.
+
+       Minor bug fixes and documentation fixes.
+
+Version 1.2.5:
+       NTFS capture: Fixed capturing duplicate reparse points.
+
+       NTFS capture: Capture first unnamed stream if there are more than one
+       (print warning instead of error).
+
+       Allow multiple test cases to execute concurrently (e.g. make -j2 check).
+
+Version 1.2.4:
+       Added --arch switch to mkwinpeimg script to support getting AMD64 WinPE
+       from the WAIK.
+
+       Update to work with ntfs-3g version 2013.1.13.
+
+Version 1.2.3:
+       Fixed truncating file to shorter but non-zero length on read-write
+       mounted WIM image.
+
+       Various code cleanups and minor documentation fixes.
+
+Version 1.2.2:
+       LZX and XPRESS decompression have received some additional optimizations
+       and should now be even faster.  (Although, they were already pretty
+       fast--- much faster than typical I/O speeds.)
+
+       Fixed a bug introduced in v1.2.1 that would cause a directory tree
+       containing hard links to be captured incorrectly in some cases.
