 While we use this in Education at Microsoft, other industries can use it as well. We esepcially see a need for something like this with partners who do re-imaging on behalf of customers. The difference in Education is that they typically have large deployments that tend to happen at the beginning of the school year and any amount of time saved is helpful. Microsoft Deployment Toolkit, Configuration Manager, and other community solutions are all great solutions, but are typically slower due to WIM deployments being file-based while FFU files are sector-based.
 
 # Updates
+**2405.1**
+- Moved the resetbase command from within the VM to after servicing the VHDX. This will make it so the FFU size is smaller after the latest CU or .NET framework are installed. (Thanks to Mike Kelly for the PR [Commit](https://github.com/rbalsleyMSFT/FFU/pull/24))
+- Some additional FFU size reduction enhancements (Thanks Zehadi Alam [Commit](https://github.com/rbalsleyMSFT/FFU/pull/25)):
+  - Disk cleanup is now run before sysprep to help reduce FFU file size
+  - Before FFU capture, Optimize-FFU is run to defrag and slabconsolidate the VHDX
+
 
 **2404.3**
 - Fixed an issue where the latest Windows CU wasn't downloading properly [Commit](https://github.com/rbalsleyMSFT/FFU/commit/ae59183a199f39b310c79b31c9b4980fafdeb79b)
