 Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
 
-Version 1.6.2 (BETA):
+Version 1.6.3-BETA:
+	Added support for "WIMBoot".  On any platform, you can now capture a WIM
+	as WIMBoot-compatible.  In addition, on Windows, specifically Windows
+	8.1 Update 1 and later, you can now apply a WIM archive in a special
+	mode that causes extracted files to be externally backed by the WIM
+	archive.  See the documentation for the new '--wimboot' option to
+	wimcapture and wimapply, respectively, for more information.
+
+	The shared library version has been bumped up; however, there are only
+	a few incompatibilities:
+
+		- WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_XPRESS is now 1 and
+		  WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_LZX is now 2 (so it's the same as
+		  WIMGAPI).
+
+		- 'struct wimlib_capture_config' has been removed.  The library
+		  now takes the path to the configuration file directly.  This
+		  affects wimlib_add_image(), wimlib_add_image_multisource(),
+		  and wimlib_update_image().  However no code changes are
+		  necessary if a NULL configuration was being used.
+
+		- Removed deprecated functions: some (de)compression functions,
+		  wimlib_extract_files(), and wimlib_print_metadata().
+
+		Otherwise the API and ABI is the same.
+
+Version 1.6.2:
 	Case-insensitive comparisons of strings (e.g. filenames) containing
 	UTF-16 codepoints above 32767 are now done correctly.
