+	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().
+	See the documentation for --pipable flag of `wimlib-imagex capture' for
+	more information.
 
-	wimlib now preserve WIM integrity tables by default, even if
+	To better support incremental backups, added support for declaring an
+	image as a modified form of another image.  See the documentation for
+	the '--update-of' option of `wimlib-imagex append' and `wimlib-imagex
+	capture'.
+
+	Added supported for "delta" WIMs.  See the documentation for the
+	'--delta-from' option of `wimlib-imagex capture'.
+
+	The library support for managing split WIMs has been changed to support
+	other arrangements, such as delta WIMs, and be easier to use.  This
+	change is visible in `wimlib-imagex', which also can now accept the
+	'--ref' option multiple times, and also now supports "delta" WIMs as
+	mentioned above.
+
+	wimlib now preserves 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.

-	Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows.

-	`mkwinpeimg' now supports grabbing files from the WAIK supplement rather
-	than the WAIK itself.
+	`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

+	Security descriptors are now extracted correctly on Windows.
 
-	WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DENTRY has been removed and
-	WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_VERBOSE re-reserved for future use.
+	Fixed archiving DOS names in NTFS-3g capture mode.
 
 	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.

+	This update bumps the shared library version number up to 9, since it is
+	not binary compatibible with previous releases.
 
 Version 1.4.2:
 	Fixed bug in `wimlib-imagex export' that made it impossible to export an
