+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.
+
+Version 1.4.1:
+       On Windows, paths given to wimlib-imagex are now treated case
+       insensitively.
+
+       Improved behavior regarding invalid filenames; in particular, on
+       Windows, wimlib-imagex will, when extracting, now omit (with an option
+       to override this default) filenames differing only in case, or filenames
+       containing characters not valid on Windows.
+
+       On Windows, wimlib now supports capturing and extracting long paths
+       (longer than the so-called MAX_PATH).
+
+       On Windows, `wimlib-imagex update' now acquires proper privileges when
+       running as an Administrator.
+
+       `wimlib-imagex update' will now complain if no image is specified when
+       trying to update a multi-image WIM.
+
+       `wimlib-imagex update' now supports specifying a single update command
+       directly on the command line using the --command option.
+
+       wimlib-imagex will now choose different units for progress messages,
+       depending on the amount of data that needs to be processed.
+
+       `wimlib-imagex append' will now generate a unique WIM image name if no
+       name is specified and the defaulted name already exists in the WIM.
+
+       wimlib now allows you to create unnamed WIM images, which can then only
+       be referred to by index.
+
+       wimlib now allows you to explicitly declare you want write access to a
+       WIM by providing the WIMLIB_OPEN_FLAG_WRITE_ACCESS flag to
+       wimlib_open_wim().
+
+       wimlib now respects the WIM_HDR_FLAG_READONLY flag when set in the WIM
+       header.
+
+       Progress callbacks have been added to wimlib's wimlib_update_image()
+       function.
+
+       Added wimlib_get_wim_info(), wimlib_set_wim_info(),
+       wimlib_iterate_dir_tree(), and wimlib_iterate_lookup_table() functions
+       to the library.
+
+       NTFS-3g capture now only warns about two conditions previously treated
+       as errors.
+
+       Fixed a couple issues with using wimlib-imagex on UDF filesystems on
+       Windows.
+
+       wimlib now correctly detects and returns an error when reading a WIM
+       image with a cyclic directory structure.  (Fun fact: such a WIM will
+       crash Microsoft's software.)
+
+Version 1.4.0:
+       Added new "extract" and "update" subcommands to wimlib-imagex, along
+       with associated APIs in the library.  These commands are intended mainly
+       for Windows use but can be used on UNIX as well.
+
+       Many documentation improvements.
+
+       Fixed a bug in the Windows build where relative symbolic links were not
+       captured in reparse-point fixup mode.
+
+       Fixed a bug in the Windows build where file handles were left open to
+       the WIM file, causing `wimlib_imagex optimize' to fail in some cases.
+
+       Fixed a bug in the Windows build of wimlib-imagex where globbing
+       split-WIM parts could cause the program to crash.
+
+       Fixed a bug where the creation time of WIM images would be shown instead
+       of the last modification time.
+
+       With the Windows build it is now possible to restore a WIM containing
+       symbolic links as a non-Administrator; however you will receive warnings
+       about not being able to extract the symbolic links.

 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
