        not compatible with Microsoft's software and are not created by default.

-       See documentation for --pipable flag of `wimlib-imagex capture' for more
-       information.  Two new functions have been added to the library to fully
-       support this: wimlib_write_to_fd() and wimlib_extract_image_from_pipe().
-
-       wimlib now preserve WIM integrity tables by default, even if
-       WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not specified.  This affects
-       wimlib-imagex's behavior when --check is not specified.
+       See the documentation for --pipable flag of `wimlib-imagex capture' for
+       more information.
+
+       To better support incremental backups, added support for declaring an
+       image as a modified form of another image.  See the documentation for
+       the '--update-of' option of `wimlib-imagex append' and `wimlib-imagex
+       capture'.
+
+       Added supported for "delta" WIMs.  See the documentation for the
+       '--delta-from' option of `wimlib-imagex capture'.
+
+       The library support for managing split WIMs has been changed to support
+       other arrangements, such as delta WIMs, and be easier to use.  This
+       change is visible in `wimlib-imagex', which also can now accept the
+       '--ref' option multiple times, and also now supports "delta" WIMs as
+       mentioned above.
+
+       wimlib now preserves WIM integrity tables by default, even if
+       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.
+
+       `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.

 
        Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows.

-       `mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather
-       than the WAIK itself.
-
-       The test suite no longer fails when run in a locale where the decimal
-       separator is not a period.
-
-       WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DENTRY has been removed and
-       WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_VERBOSE re-reserved for future use.
+       Fixed archiving DOS names in NTFS-3g capture mode.

 
        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.

+
+       wimlib_global_init() now, by default, attempts to acquire additional
+       privileges on Windows, so library clients need not do this.
+
+       This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it is
+       not binary compatibible with previous releases.
