-Version 1.7.3-BETA:
+Version 1.8.2-BETA:
+	Fixed a bug: on 32-bit systems, the library would enter an infinite loop
+	if WIM image metadata was malformed in a very specific way.
+
+	Windows symbolic links and junctions in mounted WIM images are now
+	automatically rewritten to be valid in the mounted location.
+
+Version 1.8.1:
+	Fixed a bug in the LZX decompressor: malicious input data could cause
+	out of bounds writes to memory (since wimlib v1.2.2).
+
+	The output of the 'wiminfo' command now consolidates various boolean
+	flags (such as "Relative path junction") into a single line.
+
+	A file can now have both an unnamed data stream ("file contents") and a
+	reparse point stream.  Such files can exist as a result of the use of
+	certain Windows features, such as offline storage, including "OneDrive".
+	wimlib will now store and restore both streams on Windows as well as in
+	NTFS-3g mode.  Microsoft's WIMGAPI also has this behavior.
+
+	On Windows, named data streams of encrypted files are no longer stored
+	twice in WIM archives.
+
+	On Windows, named data streams are now correctly extracted to existing
+	"readonly" directories.  Before, an error would be reported.
+
+	On Windows, it is now possible to do a "WIMBoot mode" extraction with
+	non-standalone WIMs such as delta WIMs.
+
+	On Windows, when doing an extraction in "WIMBoot mode", files larger
+	than 4 gigabytes are now never extracted as externally backed.  This
+	works around a bug in Microsoft's "WOF" driver.
+
+	The '--enable-verify-compression' configure option has been removed.  If
+	you want to verify a WIM file, use the 'wimverify' program.
+
+	The way the "file count", "directory count", "total bytes", and "hard
+	link bytes" image statistics (stored in the WIM XML data) is calculated
+	has been slightly changed.
+
+	In mounted WIM images, the disk usage provided for each file (st_blocks)
+	is now the compressed size rather than the uncompressed size.
+
+	The performance of the NTFS-3g and Windows capture modes has been
+	slightly improved.
+
+	On UNIX-like systems, symbolic links whose targets contain the backslash
+	character are now handled correctly (losslessly).
+
+Version 1.8.0:
+	Improved the LZX compressor.  It is now 15-20% faster than before and
+	provides a slightly better compression ratio.
+
+	Improved the LZMS compressor.  It now provides a compression ratio
+	slightly better than WIMGAPI while still being faster and using slightly
+	less memory.
+
+	The compression chunk size in solid resources, e.g. when capturing or
+	exporting a WIM file using the '--solid' option, now defaults to 64 MiB
+	(67108864 bytes) instead of 32 MiB (33554432 bytes).  This provides a
+	better compression ratio and is the same value that WIMGAPI uses.  The
+	memory usage is less than 50% higher than wimlib v1.7.4 and is slightly
+	lower than WIMGAPI's memory usage, but if it is too much, it is still
+	possible to choose a lower value, e.g. with the '--solid-chunk-size'
+	option to wimlib-imagex.
+
+	The '--chunk-size' and '--solid-chunk-size' options to wimlib-imagex now
+	accept the 'K', 'M', and 'G' suffixes.
+
+	Files are now sorted by name extension when creating a solid WIM file.
+
+	Fixed various issues related to capture/apply of EFS-encrypted files on
+	Windows.
+
+	The file list printed by 'wimdir' is now sorted by the platform-specific
+	case sensitivity setting, rather than always case sensitively.  This
+	also affects the library function wimlib_iterate_dir_tree().
+
+	On Windows, some error and warning messages have been improved.
+
+Version 1.7.4:
+	The Windows binary distribution no longer contains third party DLLs.
+	These dependencies are instead compiled directly into the libwim DLL.
+
+	Added more fixes for wimlib on non-x86 architectures such as ARM.
+
+	Extracting files to a Windows PE in-memory filesystem no longer fails if
+	the target files do not yet exist.
+
+	Improved the performance of XPRESS compression and LZMS decompression.
+
+	Enabled SSSE3 accelerated SHA-1 computation in x86_64 Windows builds.
+	It will automatically be faster on newer Intel and AMD processors.
+
+	Removed the --with-imagex-progname and --enable-more-assertions
+	configure options.
+
+Version 1.7.3:
 	Fix for very slow export from solid WIM / ESD files.
 
+	Fix for LZX and LZMS algorithms on non-x86 architectures, such as ARM.
+
 	New progress message: WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_HANDLE_ERROR.  Applications
 	may use this to treat some types of errors as non-fatal.
