 Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
 
+Version 1.6.1:
+	Stored files with size exactly 4 GiB (4,294,967,296 bytes) are now
+	decompressed correctly.
+
+	Fixed a bug in the LZX compressor introduced in v1.5.3.  The bug
+	occurred in an unlikely case, and due to validity checks it did not
+	affect successfully created archives.
+
+	Fixed a minor compatibility issue with the LZMS compressor and
+	decompressor.  This is *not* the default compression type and was only
+	introduced in v1.6.0.  In the unlikely event that you created a
+	LZMS-compressed WIM with v1.6.0 and a checksum error is reported when
+	applying it with v1.6.1, decompress it with v1.6.0 then compress it with
+	v1.6.1.
+
+	Memory usage for LZMS and LZX compression has been decreased.
+
+	wimextract now allows wildcard characters in paths specified on the
+	command line.  Also, the '--strict-wildcards' option has been removed
+	and replaced with the inverse option '--nullglob'.  See the
+	documentation for wimextract for more details and changes.
+
+	The wimlib_extract_files() function is now considered deprecated in
+	favor of wimlib_extract_paths().
+
+	Fixed more permissions problems when extracting files on Windows.
+
+	A new '--no-attributes' option has been added to wimapply and
+	wimextract.  The library flag is WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_NO_ATTRIBUTES.
+
+	The default chunk size is now set correctly when changing the
+	compression type of a WIM, for example with 'wimoptimize'.
+
+	The '--metadata' option to wiminfo has been replaced with the
+	'--detailed' option to wimdir.
+
+	In relevant wimlib-imagex commands, '--solid' may now be used as an
+	alias for '--pack-streams'.
+
+Version 1.6.0:
+	Support for extracting and updating the new version 3584 WIMs has been
+	added.  These WIMs typically pack many streams ("files") together into a
+	single compressed resource, thereby saving space.  This degrades the
+	performance of random access (such as that which occurs on a mounted
+	image), but optimizations have been implemented for extraction.  These
+	new WIM files also typically use a new compression format (LZMS), which
+	is similar to LZMA and can offer a better compression ratio than LZX.
+	These new WIM files can be created using `wimcapture' with
+	the '--compress=lzms --pack-streams' options.  Note: this new WIM format
+	is used by the Windows 8 web downloader, but important segments of the
+	raw '.esd' files are encrypted, so wimlib will not be able to extract
+	such files until they are first decrypted.
+
+	wimlib now supports extracting files and directories from a WIM image
+	based on a "listfile" that itself contains the list of paths to extract.
+	For `wimextract', the syntax is to specify @LISTFILE instead of a PATH,
+	and for the library itself, the new APIs are wimlib_extract_pathlist()
+	and wimlib_extract_paths().  Path globs containing wildcard characters
+	are supported.
+
+	For searching WIM files, wimlib now has configurable case sensitivity.
+	The default on Windows is still case-insensitive and the default on
+	UNIX-like systems is still case-sensitive, but this can be overridden
+	on either platform through flags to wimlib_global_init().  For
+	`wimlib-imagex', the environmental variable WIMLIB_IMAGEX_IGNORE_CASE
+	can be set to 1 or 0 for case-insensitive or case-sensitive behavior,
+	respectively.
+
+	Support for compression chunk sizes greater than the default of 32768
+	bytes has been added.  A larger chunk size typically results in a better
+	compression ratio.  However, the MS implementation is seemingly not
+	compatible with all chunk sizes, especially for LZX compression, so the
+	defaults remain unchanged, with the exception of the new LZMS-compressed
+	WIMs, which use a larger chunk size by default.
+
+	The compression/decompression API exported by wimlib has been changed.
+	Now one set of functions handles all supported compression formats.
+
+	`wimcapture' and `wimappend' will now display the progress of scanning
+	the directory tree to capture, in addition to the progress of writing
+	data to the WIM.  The '--verbose' option no longer does anything.  The
+	library API change for this is the addition of several members to
+	`struct wimlib_progress_info_scan' available to progress callbacks.
+
+	`mkwinpeimg' now correctly handles the '--start-script' option when the
+	start script is not in the working directory.
+
+	Sequential extraction, previously requested by using
+	WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL, is now the default.
+	WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER can be used to get the old default
+	behavior (extract in file order).
+
 Version 1.5.3:
 	The new LZX compressor added in v1.5.2 has been improved and is now
 	enabled by default, except when `wimcapture' or `wimappend' is run
