-Version 1.8.2-BETA:
+Version 1.8.3-BETA:
+	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.
+
+	Made some small improvements to the compression algorithms:
+		LZX compression ratio was slightly improved.
+		XPRESS compression ratio and speed was slightly improved.
+		LZMS compression speed was slightly improved.
+
+	Improved handling of WIM XML data.  wimlib no longer drops unrecognized
+	elements when exporting images.  In addition, two API functions were
+	added for better access to elements in the XML document:
+	wimlib_get_image_property() and wimlib_set_image_property().
+
+	Added support for (unsafe) in-place compaction of WIM files.
+
+	Improved performance of image export by reusing metadata resources
+	instead of always rebuilding and recompressing them.
+
+	Improved performance of wimlib_update_image() by delaying the update to
+	the WIM's XML document until a write is requested.
+
+	On Windows, the target of an extraction may now be a reparse point.
+
+	Several improvements to System Compression (compact mode) support:
+
+		wof.sys (or wofadk.sys) is now automatically attached to the
+		target volume if needed.
+
+		Compact-mode extractions now work correctly with wofadk.sys on
+		older versions of Windows.
+
+		For compatibility with the Windows bootloader, the requested
+		compression format now is overridden on certain files.
+
+Version 1.8.2:
 	This release primarily contains various minor bug fixes and
 	improvements, including:
