 # Changelog
 
+## [0.4.0] - 2023-01-31
+### Changed
+- `CodePoints.toChars(Int, CharArray, Int)` is now bug-compatible with `java.lang.Character.toChars(int, char[], int)`. 
+  Using an offset of -1 will lead to an exception, but the first element of the destination might be modified. 
+
+### Added
+- Support for MIPS targets
+- Separate library `kotlin-codepoints-deluxe` that builds a nicer API on top of `kotlin-codepoints`
+
 ## [0.3.0] - 2023-01-24

+### kotlin-codepoints-deluxe
+
+This library builds on top of `kotlin-codepoints`. It adds a the `CodePoint` class to make working with code points a 
+bit less painful.
+
+Until someone gets around to building and publishing proper documentation, 
+see [CodePoint.kt](https://github.com/cketti/kotlin-codepoints/blob/main/kotlin-codepoints-deluxe/src/commonMain/kotlin/CodePoint.kt)
+to get and idea of what's available.
+
+#### Example:
+```kotlin
+val text = "🦕&🦖"
+
+for (codePoint in text.codePointSequence()) {
+    print("code point: $codePoint, char count: ${codePoint.charCount}")
+
+    if (codePoint.isBasic) {
+        println(" - boring!")
+    } else {
+        println()
+    }
+}
+
+// Output:
+// -------
+// code point: U+1F995, char count: 2
+// code point: U+0026, char count: 1 - boring!
+// code point: U+1F996, char count: 2
