+### 0.4.3 [2018.06.16]
+* Fix a bug that caused debug-enabled GHC builds to panic when generating
+  code from this library (see
+  [Trac #15270](https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15270)).
+  The fix only affects the library's internals, so no changes are user-facing.

 ### 0.4.2 [2018.05.14]
 * Backport the fixes for GHC Trac
   [#14364](https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14364)

       Instead, simply return the folded state (for `foldr`) or `mempty` (for
       `foldMap`), without inspecting the arguments.
 
+* In GHC 8.6, the @DerivingVia@ language extension was introduced.
+  @deriving-compat@ provides an interface which attempts to mimic this
+  extension (as well as @GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving@, which is a special case
+  of @DerivingVia@) as closely as possible.
+
+  Since the generated code requires the use of @TypeApplications@, this can
+  only be backported back to GHC 8.2.

 * In GHC 8.6, deriving `Read` was changed so as to factor out certain commonly
   used subexpressions, which significantly improve compliation times.
