-Version 1.8.2-BETA:
+Version 1.8.3-BETA:
+       Fixed a bug with libntfs-3g extraction present since v1.8.1.  Sometimes,
+       some Microsoft software would not correctly recognize data in the
+       resulting filesystem.  Users of the (UNIX-only) NTFS-3g based WIM
+       extraction support should not use wimlib v1.8.1 or wimlib v1.8.2.
+
+       Several improvements to System Compression (compact mode) support:
+
+               wof.sys (or wofadk.sys) is now automatically attached to the
+               target volume if needed.
+
+               Compact-mode extractions now work correctly with wofadk.sys on
+               older versions of Windows.
+
+               For compatibility with the Windows bootloader, the requested
+               compression format now is overridden on certain files.
+
+Version 1.8.2:
        This release primarily contains various minor bug fixes and
        improvements, including:
 
-               Reduced the stack space used by directory tree scans.
+               Improved handling of deep directory structures.
 
                Fixed a bug where on 32-bit systems, the library could enter an
                infinite loop if a WIM file was malformed in a specific way.
 
+               Added a workaround for a case where libntfs-3g may report
+               duplicate streams in an NTFS file.
+
                Windows symbolic links and junctions in mounted WIM images are
                now automatically rewritten to be valid in the mounted location.
 
                Reparse point fixes: correctly handle the "ReparseReserved"
                field, and correctly handle "empty" (data-less) reparse points.
 
-               Improved validation of filenames.
-
-               Fixed the test scripts to work in a Turkish locale.
-
-               Fixed handling of EINTR during data I/O.
+               On Windows, wimlib now acquires SeManageVolumePrivilege, which
+               is needed to create externally backed files using the
+               "wofadk.sys" driver.
 
-               Optimized memory usage of some data structures.
+               Improved validation of filenames.
 
                Improved LZMS decompression speed.
 
                The configure script now honors alternate pkg-config settings.
 
-       In addition, *experimental* support has been added for compressing
+               Links have been updated to point to the new website.
+
+       In addition, experimental support has been added for compressing
        extracted files using System Compression on Windows 10.  This
        functionality is available through the new '--compact' option to
        'wimapply' and 'wimextract' as well as new library flags.
