-Version 1.7.1-BETA:
-	The new (as of v1.7.0) extraction code will no longer run out of file
-	handles when extracting many (1000+) identical files.
+Version 1.7.2-BETA:
+	More compression performance improvements.
 
-	Library users can now initialize and de-initialize the library multiple
-	times in one run of an application program.
+	Fixes for setting short names on Windows.
 
-	Library users will now receive WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_WRITE_STREAMS and
-	WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_STREAMS messages more frequently when
-	writing or extracting large WIM files.
+	Faster "WIMBoot" extraction on Windows.
 
-	Added experimental new write flag:
-	WIMLIB_WRITE_FLAG_SEND_DONE_WITH_FILE_MESSAGES.
+	Updated dependent DLLs in Windows release.  libxml2 is slimmed down.
+
+	Library changes:
+		Added file count progress data for
+		WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE and
+		WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
+
+		Added support for testing file exclusions via the user-provided
+		progress function.
+
+		Some documentation improvements.
+
+Version 1.7.1:
+	Made more improvements to the XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compressors.
+
+	The default compression mode for wimcapture is now LZX compression in
+	its default mode, which is the same as '--compress=maximum'.
+
+	You can now specify an optional integer compression level to the
+	'--compress' option; e.g. '--compress=lzx:75'.
+
+	Made a minor change to the LZMS compressor and decompressor to fix an
+	incompatibility with the Microsoft implementation.  In the unlikely
+	event that you created an LZMS-compressed WIM with wimlib v1.7.0 or
+	earlier and a checksum error is reported when extracting files from it
+	with wimlib v1.7.1, decompress it with v1.7.0 then compress it with
+	v1.7.1.
+
+	Added 'verify' subcommand to wimlib-imagex.
+
+	Notable library changes:
+
+		Custom compressor parameters have been removed from the library
+		in favor of the simpler level-based API.
+
+		Decompressor parameters have been removed entirely.
+
+		Library users can now specify a custom file for warning and
+		error messages to be sent to, rather than the default of
+		standard error.
+
+		New progress messages:
+		WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_FILE_STRUCTURE,
+		WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_METADATA.
+
+		New function: wimlib_verify_wim().
 
 Version 1.7.0:
 	Improved compression, decompression, and extraction performance.
