 Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
 
+Version 1.6.3-BETA:
+       Added support for "WIMBoot".  On any platform, you can now capture a WIM
+       as WIMBoot-compatible.  In addition, on Windows, you can now apply a WIM
+       archive in a special mode that causes extracted files to be externally
+       backed by the WIM archive.  See the documentation for the new
+       '--wimboot' option to wimcapture and wimapply for more information.
+
+       'add' commands passed to wimupdate will now replace existing
+       nondirectory files by default.  Use the --no-replace option to get the
+       old behavior.
+
+       Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files.
+
+       The 'mkwinpeimg' script now supports writing the ISO image to standard
+       output.
+
+       The shared library version has been bumped up; however, there are only a
+       few incompatibilities:
+
+               - WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_XPRESS is now 1 and
+                 WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_LZX is now 2 (so it's the same as
+                 WIMGAPI).
+
+               - 'struct wimlib_capture_config' has been removed.  The library
+                 now takes the path to the configuration file directly.  This
+                 affects wimlib_add_image(), wimlib_add_image_multisource(),
+                 and wimlib_update_image().  However no code changes are
+                 necessary if a NULL configuration was being used.
+
+               - Removed deprecated functions: some (de)compression functions,
+                 wimlib_extract_files(), and wimlib_print_metadata().
+
+               - WIM paths passed to progress functions now have a leading
+                 slash.
+
+Version 1.6.2:
+       Case-insensitive comparisons of strings (e.g. filenames) containing
+       UTF-16 codepoints above 32767 are now done correctly.
+
+       Fixed build failure on Mac OS X.
+
+       wimunmount now provides the '--new-image' option to cause changes to a
+       read-write mounted image to be committed as a new image rather than as
+       an update of the mounted image.  (The corresponding new library flag is
+       WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_NEW_IMAGE.)
+
+       The LZMS ("recovery") compression chunk size, or "dictionary size", may
+       now be up to 1 GiB (1,073,741,824 bytes).
+
+       The performance of LZX ("maximum") and LZMS ("recovery") compression
+       with large chunk sizes has been slightly improved.
+
 Version 1.6.1:
        Stored files with size exactly 4 GiB (4,294,967,296 bytes) are now
        decompressed correctly.
