## 1.0.0.0 - 2025-10-24

Initial release.

- Added typeclasses `From` and `TryFrom`.
- Added instances of `From` for some fundamental type-mappings in `base`:
    - All types in `Data.Int` and `Data.Word` can be both the source and the destination of the conversion.
    - The types `Float` and `Double` can be the destination, but not the source. So `from :: Int32 -> Float` exists, while `from :: Float -> Int32` does not.
    - That's it. We begin with minimal instances intentionally. For example, there is no `instance From Int String`. This is because it is tricky (often impossible) to selectively import instances, especially when the module dependency graph is complicated. We'd need to be careful about adding instances.
