 Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
 
+Version 1.5.0:
+	Added support for "pipable" WIMs.  This support allows capturing images
+	to standard output or applying images from standard input, but they are
+	not compatible with Microsoft's software and are not created by default.
+	See documentation for --pipable flag of `wimlib-imagex capture' for more
+	information.  Two new functions have been added to the library to fully
+	support this: wimlib_write_to_fd() and wimlib_extract_image_from_pipe().
+
+	wimlib now preserve WIM integrity tables by default, even if
+	WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_CHECK_INTEGRITY is not specified.  This changes the
+	behavior of `wimlib-imagex' whenever the WIM being operated on contains
+	an integrity table and the '--check' option is not specified.
+
+	`wimlib-imagex capture' now creates LZX-compressed WIMs by default
+	(when --compress is not specified).  This provides the best compression
+	ratio by default, which is usually what is desired, at a cost of some
+	speed.
+
+	For convenience, `wimlib-imagex' now supports being invoked as
+	wimCOMMAND, where COMMAND is the command as in `wimlib-imagex COMMAND';
+	for example, it can be invoked as `wimapply' as an alternative to
+	`wimlib-imagex apply'.  The appropriate hard links are created in UNIX
+	installations of `wimlib-imagex', while for the Windows distribution of
+	`wimlib-imagex', batch files that emulate this behavior are generated.
+
+	`wimlib-imagex' no longer recognizes the 'mount', 'mountrw', and
+	'unmount' commands on Windows, since they didn't work on Windows anyway.
+
+	Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows.
+
+	`mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather
+	than the WAIK itself.
+
+	The test suite no longer fails when run in a locale where the decimal
+	separator is not a period.
+
+	WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DENTRY has been removed and
+	WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_VERBOSE re-reserved for future use.
+
+	The extraction code has been rewritten and it will now be easier to
+	support new features on all supported backends (currently Win32, UNIX,
+	and NTFS-3g).  For example, hard-linked extraction mode (--hardlink) is
+	now supported on all backends, not just UNIX.
+
+	A few changes were made to the error codes returned by library routines.
+
+	To make wimlib easier to use on Windows, wimlib_global_init() now
+	automatically attempts to acquire additional privileges on Windows, so
+	library clients need not do this (although they can provide a flag to
+	get the old behavior and manage privileges themselves).
+
+	This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it
+	doesn't quite maintain binary compatibility with previous releases.
+
+Version 1.4.2:
+	Fixed bug in `wimlib-imagex export' that made it impossible to export an
+	image from a WIM that is readonly at the filesystem level.
+
+	Return error code rather than segfaulting when trying to list files from
+	a non-first part of a split WIM.
+
+	Joining a WIM will now preserve the RP_FIX and READONLY flags.
+
 Version 1.4.1:
 	On Windows, paths given to wimlib-imagex are now treated case
 	insensitively.
