-Version 1.8.3-BETA:
+Version 1.9.1-BETA:
+       Reduced memory usage when exporting large numbers of WIM images.
+
+       Made some minor build-related updates.  Notably, enabled "silent" make
+       rules; this makes the output cleaner when building from source.
+
+       Some minor Windows-specific updates:
+               Fixed a bug where duplicate backslashes could be generated in
+               link targets when extracting symbolic links and junctions.
+
+               Added instructions for building from source on Windows.
+
+               VSS support is no longer marked "experimental".
+
+               wimlib now issues an appropriate error message if a known
+               problem with the WindowsApps directory is encountered.
+
+               wimlib now automatically retries some read requests.
+
+Version 1.9.0:
+       Added experimental support for Windows VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service).
+       The new '--snapshot' argument to 'wimcapture' makes wimlib automatically
+       create and use a temporary VSS snapshot when capturing a WIM image.
+
+       Implemented setting of Windows-specific XML information, such as
+       architecture, system root, and version details.  This information is now
+       automatically set in newly captured WIM images, when appropriate.
+
+       Improved performance of directory tree scans on Windows.
+
+       On Windows, to improve capture performance, wimlib now sometimes opens
+       files by inode number rather than by path.  This is enabled for
+       wimcapture and wimappend, but for now other applications have to opt-in.
+
+       The progress messages printed by wimlib-imagex while writing WIM files
+       have been slightly tweaked.
+
+       Progress information for directory tree scans now counts all hard links.
+       Also, on Windows "\\?\" is no longer stripped from the current path.
+
+       Added a new '--image-property' option to 'wimcapture', 'wimappend', and
+       'wiminfo'.  This option lets you assign values to elements in a WIM
+       file's XML document by name.
+
+       The wimlib_get_image_property() and wimlib_set_image_property() API
+       functions now support numerically indexed elements.
+
+       Fixed a bug where, on Windows, wimlib would change the security
+       descriptor of the target directory of an extraction even when the
+       '--no-acls' option was specified.
+
+Version 1.8.3:
        Fixed a bug with libntfs-3g extraction present since v1.8.1.  Sometimes,
        some Microsoft software would not correctly recognize data in the
        resulting filesystem.
