 The most notable changes for users are:
 
-- The package distribution only includes ESM packages.
-- React 19 is now expected as a peer dependency for UI components.
+- The package distribution only includes modern ESM packages (both minified and
+  non-minified).
+- React 19 is now compatible as an optional peer dependency.
 - The tools module and TinyBase CLI have been removed.
 
-As a result of these, there have been some knock-on effects to the project as a
-whole. For example, React 19 is used as a developer dependency for the project
-and so the test suite has been updated to use `react-testing-library` instead
-of `react-test-renderer`. The React `jsx-runtime` is used for JSX
-transformations. And the demos (and CodePen examples) have been updated to use
-an `importmap` mapping the modules to the [esm.sh](https://esm.sh/) CDN.
+If you have been using CJS or UMD packages, you will need to update your
+bundling strategy for TinyBase (in the same way that you will have had to have
+done for React 19, for example) but this change should be compatible with most
+packaging tools. If you had been using the library directly a browser, you
+should consider the [esm.sh](https://esm.sh/) CDN, as we have for our demos.
