+       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.
+
+       For convenience, `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.
+
+       `wimlib-imagex' no longer recognizes the 'mount', 'mountrw', and
+       'unmount' commands on Windows, since they didn't work on Windows anyway.

-       WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DENTRY has been removed and
-       WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_VERBOSE re-reserved for future use.
+       From the library, WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DENTRY has been removed
+       and WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_VERBOSE re-reserved for future use.  Also,
+       WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_JOIN_STREAMS has been removed, but
+       WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_WRITE_STREAMS will be received instead and now
+       provides WIM part numbers.

 
        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.

+       To make wimlib easier to use on Windows, wimlib_global_init() now
+       automatically attempts to acquire additional privileges on Windows, so
+       library clients need not do this (although they can provide a flag to
+       get the old behavior and manage privileges themselves).
+
+       This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it
+       doesn't quite maintain binary compatibility 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.
