-Version 1.7.1-BETA:
-       The new (as of v1.7.0) extraction code will no longer run out of file
-       handles when extracting many (1000+) identical files.
+Version 1.7.3-BETA:
+       The library now permits making in-memory changes to a WIMStruct backed
+       by a read-only WIM file.
 
-       Library users can now initialize and de-initialize the library multiple
-       times in one run of an application program.
+       Extraction in "WIMBoot mode" without the WOF driver available no longer
+       fails if the disk containing the WIM file has too many partitions.
 
-       Library users will now receive WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_WRITE_STREAMS
-       messages more frequency when writing large WIM files.
+Version 1.7.2:
+       Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
+
+       A number of improvements to the Windows port:
+
+               Fixes for setting short filenames.
+
+               Faster "WIMBoot" extraction.
+
+               Updated and slimmed down the dependent DLLs.
+
+               ACL inheritence bits are now restored.
+
+               Mandatory integrity labels are now backed up and restored.
+
+       Added a workaround for an issue where in rare cases, wimlib could create
+       a compressed data stream that could not be read correctly by Windows
+       after an extraction in "WIMBoot" mode.
+
+       Library changes:
+               Added file count progress data for
+               WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE and
+               WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
+
+               Added support for testing file exclusions via the user-provided
+               progress function.
+
+               Some documentation improvements.
+
+       Made some clarifications to the license text in the COPYING file.
+
+Version 1.7.1:
+       Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
+
+       The default compression mode for wimcapture is now LZX compression in
+       its default mode, which is the same as '--compress=maximum'.
+
+       You can now specify an optional integer compression level to the
+       '--compress' option; e.g. '--compress=lzx:75'.
+
+       Made a minor change to the LZMS compressor and decompressor to fix an
+       incompatibility with the Microsoft implementation.  In the unlikely
+       event that you created an LZMS-compressed WIM with wimlib v1.7.0 or
+       earlier and a checksum error is reported when extracting files from it
+       with wimlib v1.7.1, decompress it with v1.7.0 then compress it with
+       v1.7.1.
+
+       Added 'verify' subcommand to wimlib-imagex.
+
+       Notable library changes:
+
+               Custom compressor parameters have been removed from the library
+               in favor of the simpler level-based API.
+
+               Decompressor parameters have been removed entirely.
+
+               Library users can now specify a custom file for warning and
+               error messages to be sent to, rather than the default of
+               standard error.
+
+               New progress messages:
+               WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE,
+               WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
+
+               New function: wimlib_verify_wim().
 
 Version 1.7.0:
        Improved compression, decompression, and extraction performance.
