-Version 1.8.1-BETA:
+Version 1.8.2-BETA:
+       This release primarily contains various minor bug fixes and
+       improvements, including:
+
+               Reduced the stack space used by directory tree scans.
+
+               Fixed a bug where on 32-bit systems, the library could enter an
+               infinite loop if a WIM file was malformed in a specific way.
+
+               Windows symbolic links and junctions in mounted WIM images are
+               now automatically rewritten to be valid in the mounted location.
+
+               Reparse point fixes: correctly handle the "ReparseReserved"
+               field, and correctly handle "empty" (data-less) reparse points.
+
+               Improved validation of filenames.
+
+               Fixed the test scripts to work in a Turkish locale.
+
+               Fixed handling of EINTR during data I/O.
+
+               Optimized memory usage of some data structures.
+
+               Improved LZMS decompression speed.
+
+               The configure script now honors alternate pkg-config settings.
+
+       In addition, *experimental* support has been added for compressing
+       extracted files using System Compression on Windows 10.  This
+       functionality is available through the new '--compact' option to
+       'wimapply' and 'wimextract' as well as new library flags.
+
+Version 1.8.1:
        Fixed a bug in the LZX decompressor: malicious input data could cause
        out of bounds writes to memory (since wimlib v1.2.2).
 
+       The output of the 'wiminfo' command now consolidates various boolean
+       flags (such as "Relative path junction") into a single line.
+
        A file can now have both an unnamed data stream ("file contents") and a
        reparse point stream.  Such files can exist as a result of the use of
        certain Windows features, such as offline storage, including "OneDrive".

        On Windows, named data streams are now correctly extracted to existing
        "readonly" directories.  Before, an error would be reported.
 
+       On Windows, it is now possible to do a "WIMBoot mode" extraction with
+       non-standalone WIMs such as delta WIMs.
+
        On Windows, when doing an extraction in "WIMBoot mode", files larger
        than 4 gigabytes are now never extracted as externally backed.  This
        works around a bug in Microsoft's "WOF" driver.

        The performance of the NTFS-3g and Windows capture modes has been
        slightly improved.
 
+       On UNIX-like systems, symbolic links whose targets contain the backslash
+       character are now handled correctly (losslessly).
+
 Version 1.8.0:
        Improved the LZX compressor.  It is now 15-20% faster than before and
        provides a slightly better compression ratio.
