+Version 1.7.1-BETA:
+       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.
