+Version 1.8.1-BETA:
+       Fixed a bug in the LZX decompressor: malicious input data could cause
+       out of bounds writes to memory (since wimlib v1.2.2).
+
+       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, 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.
+
 Version 1.8.0:
        Improved the LZX compressor.  It is now 15-20% faster than before and
        provides a slightly better compression ratio.
