-Version 1.8.3-BETA:
+Version 1.10.0-BETA:
+       The LZX compression ratio has been slightly improved.  The default mode,
+       LZX level 50, is now almost as good as the old LZX level 100, while
+       being nearly the same speed as before.
+
+       Decompression performance has been slightly improved.
+
+       Filenames are now always listed in NTFS collation order.
+
+       On UNIX-like systems, wimlib can now process Windows filenames that are
+       not valid Unicode due to the presence of unpaired surrogates.
+
+       On UNIX-like systems, wimlib now always assumes UTF-8 encoding with the
+       addition of surrogate codepoints.  Consequently, the environmental
+       variable WIMLIB_IMAGEX_USE_UTF8 and the flag
+       WIMLIB_INIT_FLAG_ASSUME_UTF8 no longer have any effect.
+
+       wimlib no longer depends on iconv.
+
+       Reduced memory usage slightly.
+
+       When a WIM image is applied in NTFS-3G mode, security descriptors are
+       now created in NTFS v3.0 format when supported by the volume.
+
+       Workarounds for bugs in libntfs-3g version 2013.1.13 and earlier have
+       been removed.  Users are advised to upgrade to a later version of
+       libntfs-3g.
+
+       On Windows, wimlib now supports case-sensitive filename extraction when
+       supported by the underlying operating system and filesystem (operating
+       system support requires a registry setting).
+
+Version 1.9.2:
+       On UNIX, wimlib can now overwrite readonly files when extracting.
+
+       On Windows, fixed a bug where wimlib could leave a null DACL (a.k.a. "no
+       NTFS permissions") set on some existing directories after extraction.
+
+       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.
+
+       Clarified the main license text and updated public domain dedications
+       for certain files to be more thorough.
+
+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.
+
+       Implemented setting of Windows-specific XML information, such as
+       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.
+
+       The wimlib_get_image_property() and wimlib_set_image_property() API
+       functions now support numerically indexed elements.
+
+       Fixed a bug where, on Windows, wimlib would change the security
+       descriptor of the target directory of an extraction even when the
+       '--no-acls' option was specified.
+
+Version 1.8.3:

        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.
