+## Changelog
+
+### 0.3 (2013-11-07)
+
+* Add Ord instance for Text (okay because JS comparison operators work on the values)
+* Make Text an EmptyDataDecl
+
+### 0.2.0.0 (2013-09-24)
+
+* Added a (large) subset of functions from `Data.Text`. These use the FFI so they should be pretty fast.
+* Added `Eq` instance for `Text`.
+* The `Text` type has been moved to `Fay.Text.Type` (re-exported by `Fay.Text`) in case you only want the type.
+
+### 0.1.0.0 (2013-08-27)
+
+* Initial release

+[Changelog](CHANGELOG.md)
+
+fay-text provides a Text whose values are represented as JavaScript strings for Fay, and as `Data.Text` for GHC. You can use this package instead of directly depending on `text` if you want to.
+
+Fay has a special case that's applicable for `fay-text`. If a file has `{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}` GHC will replace all string literals with `fromString lit`. `{-# LANGUAGE RebindableSyntax #-}` tells GHC to use the `fromString` currently in scope instead of `Data.String.fromString`. With these two extensions enabled Fay outputs all string literals as JavaScript strings, which is the same representation as `Fay.Text` uses.
+
+Note that you can mix modules using text literals and string literals, the behavior is local to the module.
