 Only the most important changes more recent than version 0.6 are noted here.
 
+Version 1.7.0-BETA:
+	Improved compatibility with version 3584 WIM / ESD files.
+
+	Performance improvements, including for extraction.
+
+	'add' commands passed to wimupdate will now replace existing
+	nondirectory files by default.  Use the --no-replace option to get the
+	old behavior.
+
+	Added support for "WIMBoot" capture and extraction.  See the
+	documentation for the new '--wimboot' option to wimcapture and wimapply
+	for more information.
+
+	The format of UNIX data has been changed.  If you captured any WIMs with
+	the --unix-data option, to upgrade them you'll need to apply them with
+	--unix-data using wimlib v1.6.2, then re-capture them with --unix-data
+	using this version.
+
+	wimlib now understands tagged metadata items, such as object IDs, that
+	can be stored in WIM directory entries.
+
+	Removed the --hardlink and --symlink options to wimapply, since I don't
+	think they are too useful and they got in the way of improving the code.
+
+	WIMs will now retain their GUIDs when rebuilt (e.g. with wimoptimize).
+
+	The 'mkwinpeimg' script now supports writing the ISO image to standard
+	output.
+
+	On Windows, sparse file attributes are no longer set on extracted files.
+
+	The shared library version has been bumped up.  The main
+	incompatibilities are:
+
+		- WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_XPRESS is now 1 and
+		  WIMLIB_COMPRESSION_TYPE_LZX is now 2 (so it's the same as
+		  WIMGAPI).
+
+		- Progress functions, including their prototypes as well as how
+		  they are provided to the library, have been changed.
+
+		- '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().
+
+		- Removed extraction flags: WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_HARDLINK,
+		  WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_SYMLINK, and
+		  WIMLIB_EXTRACT_FLAG_FILE_ORDER.
+
+		- Removed progress messages:
+		  WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_APPLY_TIMESTAMPS,
+		  WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_BEGIN,
+		  WIMLIB_PROGRESS_MSG_EXTRACT_DIR_STRUCTURE_END.
+
+		- WIM paths passed to progress functions now have a leading
+		  slash.
+
+Version 1.6.2:
+	Case-insensitive comparisons of strings (e.g. filenames) containing
+	UTF-16 codepoints above 32767 are now done correctly.
+
+	Fixed build failure on Mac OS X.
+
+	wimunmount now provides the '--new-image' option to cause changes to a
+	read-write mounted image to be committed as a new image rather than as
+	an update of the mounted image.  (The corresponding new library flag is
+	WIMLIB_UNMOUNT_FLAG_NEW_IMAGE.)
+
+	The LZMS ("recovery") compression chunk size, or "dictionary size", may
+	now be up to 1 GiB (1,073,741,824 bytes).
+
+	The performance of LZX ("maximum") and LZMS ("recovery") compression
+	with large chunk sizes has been slightly improved.
+
 Version 1.6.1:
 	Stored files with size exactly 4 GiB (4,294,967,296 bytes) are now
 	decompressed correctly.
