 Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
 
+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
+	*without* the '--compress' option, in which case the faster LZX
+	compressor is used (the same as before).  This behavior is reasonably
+	consistent with ImageX which actually uses "fast" (XPRESS) compression
+	by default.  In those cases, use '--compress=maximum' to explicitly
+	capture a WIM image using the new (slower but better) LZX compressor.
+
+	The '--compress-slow' option still exists to `wimlib-imagex optimize',
+	but its new behavior is to tweak the new LZX compressor even more to
+	produce an even better compression ratio at the cost of more time spent
+	compressing.
+
+	`wimlib-imagex optimize' now supports the '--compress=TYPE' option,
+	which recompresses the WIM file using the specified compression TYPE.
+	The new library API function used for this is
+	wimlib_set_output_compression_type().
+
+	Added the wimlib_get_xml_data() function to allow library clients to
+	easily retrieve the raw XML data from a WIM file if needed.
+
+	Fixed a bug that could cause an error code to be incorrectly returned
+	when writing XML data containing a <WINDOWS> element.
+
+	Mounted WIM images will now correctly show the default file stream even
+	if appears in the alternate data stream entries of the corresponding WIM
+	directory entry.
+
+Version 1.5.2:
+	Added a new experimental LZX compressor which can be enabled by passing
+	'--compress-slow' to `wimlib-imagex capture' or `wimlib-imagex
+	optimize'.  (The latter is only applicable if the WIM is already
+	LZX-compressed and the '--recompress' option is also given.)  The
+	experimental compressor is much slower but compresses the data slightly
+	more --- currently usually to within a fraction of a percent of the
+	results from WIMGAPI/ImageX.
+
+	A workaround has been added for compatibility with versions of WinPE
+	that interpret alternate data stream entries in the boot WIM
+	incorrectly.
+
+	An alignment bug that caused a crash in the LZX decompressor on some
+	builds was fixed.
+
+	wimlib now attempts to clear the WIM_HDR_FLAG_WRITE_IN_PROGRESS flag in
+	the WIM header when restoring the previous state of a WIM it failed to
+	successfully update.
+
+	Added a workaround to avoid an access denied error on Windows when
+	replacing a WIM file that another process has opened.
+
+Version 1.5.1:
+	wimlib can now open WinPE WIMs from WAIK v2.1, which had a quirk that
+	needed to be handled.
+
+	A bug in the interpretation of negative IMAGE indices in the
+	--update-of=[WIMFILE:]IMAGE option to `wimlib-imagex capture' and
+	`wimlib-imagex append' has been fixed.
+
+	A workaround has been added to successfully apply security descriptors
+	with empty DACLs when the NTFS-3g apply mode is being used with NTFS-3g
+	2013.1.13 or earlier.
+
+	`wimlib-imagex capture' can now accept the '--delta-from' option
+	multiple times.
