 Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
 
 Version 1.5.2:
+       Added a new experimental LZX compressor which can be enabled by passing
+       '--compress-slow' to `wimlib-imagex capture' or `wimlib-imagex
+       optimize'.  (The latter is only applicable if the WIM is already
+       LZX-compressed and the '--recompress' option is also given.)  The
+       experimental compressor is much slower but compresses the data slightly
+       more --- currently usually to within a fraction of a percent of the
+       results from WIMGAPI/ImageX.
+
        An alignment bug that caused a crash in the LZX decompressor on some
        builds was fixed.
