+	Added support for "pipable" WIMs.  Pipable WIMs allow capturing images
+	to standard output and 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 affects
-	wimlib-imagex's behavior when --check is not specified.
+	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.

 	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.
+	From the library, WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DENTRY has been removed
+	and WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_VERBOSE re-reserved for future use.  Also,
+	WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_JOIN_STREAMS has been removed, but
+	WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_WRITE_STREAMS will be received instead and now
+	provides WIM part numbers.
 
 	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.
 
+	The LZX compression and decompression code now compiles correctly on the
+	ARM architecture (where 'char' is unsigned).
+
+	wimlib_split() progress messages now report the total number of parts
+	being written.
+
+	Fixed storing DOS names in NTFS-3g capture mode.
+
 	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.
