+# Changelog for `from-string`
+
+All notable changes to this project should be documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/), and this project adheres to the [Haskell Package Versioning Policy](https://pvp.haskell.org/).
+
+## Unreleased
+
+(no changes yet)
+
+## 1.0.0.0 - 2025-10-24
+
+Initial release.
+
+- Added `From` instances for string-related types. Any of the following types can be converted from one to another using `from`:
+    - `Prelude.String`
+    - `Data.Text.Text`
+    - `Data.Text.Lazy.Text`
+    - `Data.Text.Lazy.Builder.Builder`
+    - `Data.ByteString.ByteString`
+    - `Data.ByteString.Lazy.ByteString`
+    - `Data.ByteString.Builder.Builder`
+    - `Data.ByteString.Short.ShortByteString`
+- When the conversion crosses the boundary of the byte-sequence types and the character-sequence types, UTF-8 is assumed.

+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its

+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents

+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or

+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,

+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this

+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+# from-string
+
+Note that this package is a part of the "project" that includes from and from-string. For the general rationale behind this idea, see `README.md` under the project root.
+
+This Haskell library package provides the `From` typeclass **instances** for the conversion of following types:
+
+- `String`
+- bytestring:
+    - Strict `ByteString`
+    - Lazy `ByteString`
+    - `Builder` for `ByteString`
+    - `ShortByteString`
+- text:
+    - Strict `Text`
+    - Lazy `Text`
+    - `Builder` for `Text`
+
+Whenever encoding/decoding happens, this library assumes that the aforementioned types internally contains either
+
+- a sequence of Unicode characters, or
+- a sequence of bytes in UTF-8.
+
+This should be a reasonable assumption for practical software development. If you need any other assumption, you should specify the accurate conversion in the code, instead of 'from'.
+
+See the `From.String` module documentation for more detail.

+-- If you are an experienced Haskeller, you'd immediately guess what this is
+-- about. Your guess is correct. There are 8 types covered by this module:
+--
+-- * 'String' (legacy)
+-- * Sequence of bytes
+--
+--      * Strict
+--      * Lazy
+--      * Builder
+--      * Unpinned
+--
+-- * Sequence of Unicode characters
+--
+--      * Strict
+--      * Lazy
+--      * Builder
+--
+-- Check the [implementation](#i:From), and go enjoy the convenience of 'from'.
+--
+-- But if you are not familiar with the history of how Haskell dealt with the
+-- concept of /string/ (whatever it means), here's a bit of introduction:
+--
+-- == Introduction
+--
+-- Haskell has 'String', but Haskellers have been not entirely happy with it.
+-- You probably shouldn't rely on it either. It's a legacy type. Please kindly
+-- understand the situation; Haskell is older than Unicode. Haskell is older
+-- than the WWW itself.
+--
+-- There are alternatives in the modern Haskell ecosystem. The two major
+-- relevant packages are:
+--
+-- 1. "bytestring" for "sequences of bytes" where a "byte" is any value from
+-- @0x00@ to @0xFF@.
+--
+-- 2. "text" for sequences of Unicode characters.
+--
+-- Each package offers "strict" and "lazy" variants. If you have no idea what
+-- this means, you can just start using the strict ones
+-- ('Data.ByteString.ByteString' and 'Data.Text.Text'). They are just like the
+-- immutable contiguous byte/character sequence types commonly found in other
+-- programming languages.
+--
+-- There are also "builder" types for efficient construction (eventual
+-- concatenation or output) of sequences: 'Data.ByteString.Builder.Builder'
+-- (bytestring) and 'Data.Text.Lazy.Builder.Builder' (text).
+--
+-- 'Data.ByteString.ByteString' is /pinned/ in the memory. This means the GC
+-- cannot move it around. For large data, this is the desired behavior, but for
+-- small sequences of bytes, this can lead to memory fragmentation. For that
+-- reason, there is an /unpinned/ variant called
+-- 'Data.ByteString.Short.ShortByteString'. If you still don't understand, just
+-- stick to 'Data.ByteString.ByteString' for now.
+--
+-- So that's 8 distinct types to deal with. It is difficult to remember the
+-- conversion functions. This module aims to provide the "practical defaults"
+-- for that, so that you can simply use 'from' in most cases.
+--
+-- Each instance's documentation in the [instances](#i:From) section reveals
+-- the underlying implementation. If you need a different assumption (e.g.
+-- conversion not in UTF-8), you should express the accurate conversion in your
+-- code, instead of 'from'.
