-Version 1.8.1-BETA:
+Version 1.8.3-BETA:
+	Fixed a bug with libntfs-3g extraction present since v1.8.1.  Sometimes,
+	some Microsoft software would not correctly recognize data in the
+	resulting filesystem.  Users of the (UNIX-only) NTFS-3g based WIM
+	extraction support should not use wimlib v1.8.1 or wimlib v1.8.2.
+
+	Made some small improvements to the compression algorithms.
+
+	Improved handling of WIM XML data and added two new API functions:
+	wimlib_get_image_property() and wimlib_set_image_property().
+
+	Added support for (unsafe) in-place compaction of WIM files.
+
+	Several improvements to System Compression (compact mode) support:
+
+		wof.sys (or wofadk.sys) is now automatically attached to the
+		target volume if needed.
+
+		Compact-mode extractions now work correctly with wofadk.sys on
+		older versions of Windows.
+
+		For compatibility with the Windows bootloader, the requested
+		compression format now is overridden on certain files.
+
+Version 1.8.2:
+	This release primarily contains various minor bug fixes and
+	improvements, including:
+
+		Improved handling of deep directory structures.
+
+		Fixed a bug where on 32-bit systems, the library could enter an
+		infinite loop if a WIM file was malformed in a specific way.
+
+		Added a workaround for a case where libntfs-3g may report
+		duplicate streams in an NTFS file.
+
+		Windows symbolic links and junctions in mounted WIM images are
+		now automatically rewritten to be valid in the mounted location.
+
+		Reparse point fixes: correctly handle the "ReparseReserved"
+		field, and correctly handle "empty" (data-less) reparse points.
+
+		On Windows, wimlib now acquires SeManageVolumePrivilege, which
+		is needed to create externally backed files using the
+		"wofadk.sys" driver.
+
+		Improved validation of filenames.
+
+		Improved LZMS decompression speed.
+
+		The configure script now honors alternate pkg-config settings.
+
+		Links have been updated to point to the new website.
+
+	In addition, experimental support has been added for compressing
+	extracted files using System Compression on Windows 10.  This
+	functionality is available through the new '--compact' option to
+	'wimapply' and 'wimextract' as well as new library flags.
+
+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).
