 Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
 
+Version 1.6.3-BETA:
+       Added support for "WIMBoot".  On any platform, you can now capture a WIM
+       as WIMBoot-compatible.  In addition, on Windows, specifically Windows
+       8.1 Update 1 and later, you can now apply a WIM archive in a special
+       mode that causes extracted files to be externally backed by the WIM
+       archive.  See the documentation for the new '--wimboot' option to
+       wimcapture and wimapply, respectively, for more information.
+
+Version 1.6.2:
+       Case-insensitive comparisons of strings (e.g. filenames) containing
+       UTF-16 codepoints above 32767 are now done correctly.
+
+       Fixed build failure on Mac OS X.
+
+       wimunmount now provides the '--new-image' option to cause changes to a
+       read-write mounted image to be committed as a new image rather than as
+       an update of the mounted image.  (The corresponding new library flag is
+       WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_NEW_IMAGE.)
+
+       The LZMS ("recovery") compression chunk size, or "dictionary size", may
+       now be up to 1 GiB (1,073,741,824 bytes).
+
+       The performance of LZX ("maximum") and LZMS ("recovery") compression
+       with large chunk sizes has been slightly improved.
+
 Version 1.6.1:
        Stored files with size exactly 4 GiB (4,294,967,296 bytes) are now
        decompressed correctly.
