+Version 1.7.1-BETA:

-Version 1.7.0-BETA:
-	Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files.
+	Library users can now initialize and de-initialize the library multiple

-	Performance improvements, including for extraction.

+Version 1.7.0:
+	Improved compression, decompression, and extraction performance.
+
+	Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files:
+	    - Add support for reading and writing multiple solid blocks per
+	      archive, which WIMGAPI/DISM can create when appending an image.
+	    - Correctly create solid blocks larger than 4 GiB.
 
 	'add' commands passed to wimupdate will now replace existing
 	nondirectory files by default.  Use the --no-replace option to get the
 	old behavior.
 
+	The license for the library now contains an exception that allows using
+	it under the LGPL.  See the COPYING file for details.
+
+	In reparse-point fixup mode (the default for capture), symbolic links
+	and junctions that point outside the tree being captured are no longer
+	excluded from capture.
+
 	Added support for "WIMBoot" capture and extraction.  See the
 	documentation for the new '--wimboot' option to wimcapture and wimapply
 	for more information.
