+Version 1.5.2:
+       An alignment bug that caused a crash in the LZX decompressor on some
+       builds was fixed.
+
+       wimlib now attempts to clear the WIM_HDR_FLAG_WRITE_IN_PROGRESS flag in
+       the WIM header when restoring the previous state of a WIM it failed to
+       successfully update.
+
+       A workaround has been added for compatibility with versions of WinPE
+       that interpret alternate data stream entries in the boot WIM
+       incorrectly.
+
+Version 1.5.1:
+       wimlib can now open WinPE WIMs from WAIK v2.1, which had a quirk that
+       needed to be handled.
+
+       A bug in the interpretation of negative IMAGE indices in the
+       --update-of=[WIMFILE:]IMAGE option to `wimlib-imagex capture' and
+       `wimlib-imagex append' has been fixed.
+
+       A workaround has been added to successfully apply security descriptors
+       with empty DACLs when the NTFS-3g apply mode is being used with NTFS-3g
+       2013.1.13 or earlier.
+
+       `wimlib-imagex capture' can now accept the '--delta-from' option
+       multiple times.
+
+Version 1.5.0:
+       Added support for "pipable" WIMs.  Pipable WIMs allow capturing images
+       to standard output and applying images from standard input, but they are
+       not compatible with Microsoft's software and are not created by default.
+       See the documentation for --pipable flag of `wimlib-imagex capture' for
+       more information.
+
+       To better support incremental backups, added support for declaring an
+       image as a modified form of another image.  See the documentation for
+       the '--update-of' option of `wimlib-imagex append' and `wimlib-imagex
+       capture'.
+
+       Added supported for "delta" WIMs.  See the documentation for the
+       '--delta-from' option of `wimlib-imagex capture'.
+
+       The library support for managing split WIMs has been changed to support
+       other arrangements, such as delta WIMs, and be easier to use.  This
+       change is visible in `wimlib-imagex', which also can now accept the
+       '--ref' option multiple times, and also now supports "delta" WIMs as
+       mentioned above.
+
+       wimlib now preserves WIM integrity tables by default, even if
+       WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not specified.  This changes the
+       behavior of `wimlib-imagex' whenever the WIM being operated on contains
+       an integrity table and the '--check' option is not specified.
+
+       `wimlib-imagex capture' now creates LZX-compressed WIMs by default
+       (when --compress is not specified).  This provides the best compression
+       ratio by default, which is usually what is desired, at a cost of some
+       speed.
+
+       `wimlib-imagex' now supports being invoked as wimCOMMAND, where COMMAND
+       is the command as in `wimlib-imagex COMMAND'; for example, it can be
+       invoked as `wimapply' as an alternative to `wimlib-imagex apply'.  The
+       appropriate hard links are created in UNIX installations of
+       `wimlib-imagex', while for the Windows distribution of `wimlib-imagex',
+       batch files that emulate this behavior are generated.
+
+       Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows.
+
+       Fixed archiving DOS names in NTFS-3g capture mode.
+
+       The extraction code has been rewritten and it will now be easier to
+       support new features on all supported backends (currently Win32, UNIX,
+       and NTFS-3g).  For example, hard-linked extraction mode (--hardlink) is
+       now supported on all backends, not just UNIX.
+
+       `mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather
+       than the WAIK itself.
+
+       wimlib_global_init() now, by default, attempts to acquire additional
+       privileges on Windows, so library clients need not do this.
+
+       This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it is
+       not binary compatibible with previous releases.
+
+Version 1.4.2:
+       Fixed bug in `wimlib-imagex export' that made it impossible to export an
+       image from a WIM that is readonly at the filesystem level.
+
+       Return error code rather than segfaulting when trying to list files from
+       a non-first part of a split WIM.
+
+       Joining a WIM will now preserve the RP_FIX and READONLY flags.

+
+       wimlib now correctly detects and returns an error when reading a WIM
