+## [Unreleased]
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2026-09-30
+
+First release: a fast `.xlsx` writer built on rust_xlsxwriter. Early API; it may still change before 1.0.
+
+### Workbooks and worksheets
+
+- `FastXlsx::Workbook.new(memory: :standard | :constant | :low)`: keep every cell in memory, or write finished rows to disk with strings inline (`:constant`) or in the shared string table (`:low`)
+- `Workbook#add_worksheet`, `#worksheet(name)`, `#worksheets`, `#properties` (document properties), `#to_xlsx`, `#save`
+- `Worksheet#<<`, `#append`, `#concat`, `#write` (all return the worksheet); writes to rows already on disk raise `FastXlsx::Error`
+- Rows and columns are 0-based
+
+### Cell values
+
+- Numeric, String, Time, Date/DateTime, boolean and nil
+- `FastXlsx::Formula`, `FastXlsx::URL` (optionally showing other text), `FastXlsx::RichString` (a format per text segment)
+
+### Formatting
+
+- `FastXlsx::Format`: fonts, colors, number formats, alignment, wrapping, rotation, indent, borders and underline styles; unknown options and invalid values raise `ArgumentError`
+- One format per row or per cell in `append`; `Worksheet#column_format` for column defaults
+
+### Layout and features
+
+- `column_width`, `autofit` (keeps widths set explicitly), `row_height`, `freeze_panes`, `merge_range`, `autofilter`
+- `conditional_format` (cell, text, formula, data bar, color scale), `data_validation` (lists, numbers, text length, messages)
+- `add_table` (styles, total row, column totals), `insert_chart`, `insert_image` (path or IO, scale or pixel size), `write_comment`
+- Printing: `page_header`, `page_footer`, `margins`, `page_breaks`, `vertical_page_breaks`
+- Unknown options to the option-hash methods raise `ArgumentError`
+
+### Packaging
+
+- Precompiled gems for Linux (glibc and musl, x86_64 and aarch64, arm), macOS (arm64 and x86_64) and Windows (x64); requires CRuby 3.3+

+# FastXlsx
+
+[![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/7a6163/fast_xlsx/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/7a6163/fast_xlsx)
+
+Fast `.xlsx` writer for Ruby, built on [rust_xlsxwriter](https://github.com/jmcnamara/rust_xlsxwriter) via [magnus](https://github.com/matsadler/magnus).
+
+> **Status: early.** The API may still change before 1.0.
+
+## Usage
+
+```ruby
+require "fast_xlsx"
+
+wb = FastXlsx::Workbook.new                       # or memory: :constant / :low, see below
+ws = wb.add_worksheet("Report")                  # later: wb.worksheet("Report"), wb.worksheets
+
+ws << ["id", "name", "created_at"]                # append a row
+ws.concat(records.map { |r| [r.id, r.name, r.created_at] })  # append many rows in one call
+ws.write(0, 5, 42)                                # write a single cell (row, col, value)
+
+wb.properties(title: "Q3 report", author: "Zac", keywords: "Confidential") # File > Info in Excel
+wb.save("report.xlsx")                            # or wb.to_xlsx => binary String
+```
+
+### Memory modes
+
+By default every cell stays in memory until the file is saved. For large exports, two modes write each finished row to a temp file instead:
+
+```ruby
+FastXlsx::Workbook.new                          # memory: :standard (default): everything in memory, any write order
+FastXlsx::Workbook.new(memory: :constant)       # rows on disk, strings stored inline in each cell
+FastXlsx::Workbook.new(memory: :low)            # rows on disk, strings in Excel's shared string table
+```
+
+| | `:standard` (default) | `:constant` | `:low` |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Finished rows | kept in memory | written to disk | written to disk |
+| Memory grows with | all cells | nothing (flat) | the number of unique strings |
+| Write order | any | top to bottom only | top to bottom only |
+| `autofit` | full | only sees rows still in memory | only sees rows still in memory |
+| Strings | shared string table | inline in each cell | shared string table |
+| Output | standard | some readers (e.g. xsv) don't support inline strings | standard |
+
+Which one:
+
+- **`:standard`** for normal reports, when you need to go back and change earlier rows, or rely on `autofit`.
+- **`:constant`** for large exports written row by row: memory stays flat whatever the data, and it is the fastest mode.
+- **`:low`** for large exports that other programs will read: memory stays low when strings repeat (regions, statuses, …) and the file uses the standard shared string table. With many unique strings it keeps those strings in memory until `save`.
+
+In both disk-backed modes, writing to a row that was already written to disk raises `FastXlsx::Error`, and tables must be added before their data (see [Tables](#tables)). An unknown mode raises `ArgumentError`.
+
+### Formats
+
+```ruby
+header = FastXlsx::Format.new(bold: true, bg_color: "#DDEBF7", border_bottom: :thin, align: :center)
+date   = FastXlsx::Format.new(num_format: "yyyy-mm-dd")
+
+ws.append(["id", "name", "created_at"], format: header)  # format every cell in the row
+ws.append([1, "a", Time.now], format: [nil, nil, date]) # or one format (or nil) per cell
+ws.write(1, 2, Date.today, date)                         # format one cell
+```
+
+| Option | Values |
+|---|---|
+| `bold`, `italic`, `strikeout`, `text_wrap`, `shrink` | `true` / `false` |
+| `underline` | `true` (single), `:single`, `:double`, `:single_accounting`, `:double_accounting` |
+| `font_script` | `:superscript`, `:subscript` |
+| `rotation` | degrees, `-90..90`, or `270` for stacked text |
+| `indent` | indent level, e.g. `2` |
+| `font_size` | number, e.g. `14` |
+| `font_name` | e.g. `"Arial"` |
+| `font_color`, `bg_color` | `"#RRGGBB"` or `0xRRGGBB` |
+| `num_format` | Excel number format, e.g. `"#,##0.00"`, `"yyyy-mm-dd"` |
+| `align` | `:left`, `:center`, `:right` |
+| `valign` | `:top`, `:center`, `:bottom` |
+| `border`, `border_left`, `border_right`, `border_top`, `border_bottom` | `:thin`, `:medium`, `:thick`, `:dashed`, `:dotted`, `:double`, `:hair` |
+| `border_color` | `"#RRGGBB"` or `0xRRGGBB` |
+
+Per-side borders override `border`. Unknown options and invalid values raise `ArgumentError`.
+
+### Columns and filters
+
+```ruby
+ws.column_width(0, 20)        # column A, width in characters
+ws.column_width(1..3, 12)     # columns B–D
+ws.column_format(4, FastXlsx::Format.new(num_format: "#,##0.00")) # default for cells in E written without a format
+ws.autofit                        # size other columns to the data written so far; set widths are kept
+ws.autofilter(0, 0, 100, 3)       # filter buttons on A1:D101 (first_row, first_col, last_row, last_col)
+```
+
+`autofit` only sees rows still in memory, so in `:constant` / `:low` memory mode it ignores rows already written to disk; set widths with `column_width` instead.
+
+### Layout
+
+```ruby
+ws.freeze_panes(1, 0)                          # keep the first row visible while scrolling
+ws.row_height(0, 30)                       # row 1, height in points
+ws.merge_range(0, 0, 0, 3, "Q3 report", title) # merge A1:D1; the value can be any cell type
+ws.page_breaks([50, 100])                  # print a new page before rows 51 and 101
+ws.vertical_page_breaks([8])               # and before column I
+ws.page_header("&CPage &P of &N")               # printed header, Excel header/footer codes
+ws.page_footer("&L&A", margin: 0.2)             # sheet name on the left; margin in inches
+ws.margins(left: 0.5, top: 1)              # other margins keep Excel's defaults
+```
+
+### Conditional formats
+
+```ruby
+red = FastXlsx::Format.new(font_color: "#9C0006", bg_color: "#FFC7CE")
+
+# rows 1–100 of column B (first_row, first_col, last_row, last_col)
+ws.conditional_format(0, 1, 99, 1, type: :cell, criteria: :<, value: 0, format: red)
+ws.conditional_format(0, 1, 99, 1, type: :cell, criteria: :between, value: [1, 10], format: red)
+ws.conditional_format(0, 0, 99, 0, type: :text, criteria: :contains, value: "error", format: red)
+ws.conditional_format(0, 0, 99, 3, type: :formula, value: "=$D1>100", format: red)
+ws.conditional_format(0, 2, 99, 2, type: :data_bar)
+ws.conditional_format(0, 2, 99, 2, type: :color_scale)            # 3-color; colors: 2 for 2-color
+```
+
+| `type` | `criteria` | `value` |
+|---|---|---|
+| `:cell` | `:==`, `:!=`, `:>`, `:>=`, `:<`, `:<=`, `:between`, `:not_between` | number or string; `[min, max]` for the range criteria |
+| `:text` | `:contains`, `:not_contains`, `:begins_with`, `:ends_with` | string |
+| `:formula` | — | formula string, relative to the top-left cell |
+| `:data_bar`, `:color_scale` | — | — |
+
+### Data validation
+
+```ruby
+ws.data_validation(1, 2, 100, 2, type: :list, value: %w[Open Closed])     # dropdown in C2:C101
+ws.data_validation(1, 2, 100, 2, type: :list, value: "=$Z$1:$Z$10")       # dropdown from a range
+ws.data_validation(1, 3, 100, 3, type: :whole_number, criteria: :between, value: [1, 10],
+                   input_title: "Quantity", input_message: "1 to 10",
+                   error_title: "Invalid", error_message: "Enter a whole number from 1 to 10")
+```
+
+`type` is `:list`, `:whole_number`, `:decimal` or `:text_length`; the number types take the same `criteria` as `:cell` conditional formats.
+
+### Comments
+
+```ruby
+ws.write_comment(0, 0, "Checked by finance", author: "Zac")   # Excel shows it as a note on A1
+```
+
+### Images
+
+```ruby
+ws.insert_image(0, 0, "logo.png")                                  # top-left corner in A1
+ws.insert_image(0, 5, StringIO.new(blob.download), scale: 0.5, x_offset: 10, y_offset: 4, alt_text: "Logo")
+ws.insert_image(10, 0, "chart.png", width: 320, height: 180)       # pixel size; one of them keeps the aspect ratio
+```
+
+A String is always treated as a path, so wrap raw bytes (such as Active Storage's `blob.download`) in a `StringIO`.
+
+The source is a file path or any IO responding to `#read` (PNG, JPEG, GIF or BMP). Offsets are in pixels. Data that is not a supported image raises `FastXlsx::Error`.
+
+### Tables
+
+```ruby
+ws.concat([%w[Region Rep Sales], *sales])            # header row, then the data
+ws.add_table(0, 0, sales.size + 1, 2, total_row: true, style: :medium2, # +1 row for the totals
+             columns: [{ header: "Region", total_label: "Total" }, "Rep", { header: "Sales", total: :sum }])
+```
+
+The range includes the header row and, with `total_row: true`, the total row; the table writes the headers. `columns` must match the range width. Options: `style` (`:light1`–`:light21`, `:medium1`–`:medium28`, `:dark1`–`:dark11`, `:none`), `name`, `total_row`, `banded_rows`, `autofilter`. Column totals: `:sum`, `:average`, `:count`, `:count_numbers`, `:max`, `:min`, `:std_dev`, `:var`.
+
+You can also add the table first and then append the data: after `add_table`, `<<` / `append` / `concat` continue right under the header row. In `:constant` / `:low` memory mode this is the only order that works; adding a table whose header row was already written to disk raises `FastXlsx::Error`.
+
+### Charts
+
+```ruby
+ws.concat([%w[Month Sales Costs], ["Jan", 10, 7], ["Feb", 25, 12], ["Mar", 18, 11]])
+
+ws.insert_chart(1, 4, type: :column,
+                series: [
+                  { name: "Sales", categories: "Sheet1!$A$2:$A$4", values: "Sheet1!$B$2:$B$4" },
+                  { name: "Costs", categories: "Sheet1!$A$2:$A$4", values: "Sheet1!$C$2:$C$4" }
+                ],
+                title: "Q1", x_axis: "Month", y_axis: "Amount", width: 600, height: 360)
+```
+
+`type`: `:column`, `:column_stacked`, `:bar`, `:bar_stacked`, `:line`, `:line_stacked`, `:area`, `:area_stacked`, `:pie`, `:doughnut`, `:radar`, `:scatter`. Ranges use Excel syntax, so a chart can plot data from another worksheet. Sizes are in pixels (default 480 × 288).
+
+Values are mapped by type:
+
+| Ruby | Excel |
+|---|---|
+| `Integer`, `Float`, any `Numeric` | number |
+| `String` | string |
+| `Time` | number (Excel serial date, local time) |
+| `Date`, `DateTime` | number (Excel serial date, own offset) |
+| `FastXlsx::Formula.new("SUM(A1:A9)")` | formula |
+| `FastXlsx::URL.new("https://…")`, `URL.new(url, text: "Title")` | hyperlink (optionally showing other text) |
+| `FastXlsx::RichString.new(["Total: ", bold], "1,234")` | text with a format per segment |
+| `true` / `false` | boolean |
+| `nil` | empty cell |
+| anything else | `to_s` as string |
+
+`<<` and `concat` append after the last row written to that worksheet. In `:constant` / `:low` memory mode rows are written to disk as you go, so fill each worksheet top to bottom.
+
+Errors from the writer (invalid sheet names, writes to rows already on disk, …) raise `FastXlsx::Error`.
+
+## Performance
+
+Apple Silicon, Ruby 4.0.5. Each library uses its own idiomatic row-append API; xlsxtream is a streaming writer with fewer features.
+
+### Speed
+
+20,000 rows × 5 columns (integer, string, integer, `Time`, float), build + serialize to a String, median of 7 runs (3 for rubyXL):
+
+| Library | Time | vs fastest | Ruby objects allocated |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|
+| **fast_xlsx** (`memory: :constant`) | **92 ms** | 1.0x | 7 |
+| **fast_xlsx** (`memory: :low`) | **101 ms** | 1.1x | 7 |
+| **fast_xlsx** | **102 ms** | 1.1x | 10 |
+| [xlsxtream](https://github.com/felixbuenemann/xlsxtream) 3.1 | 181 ms | 2.0x | 561,728 |
+| [fast_excel](https://github.com/Paxa/fast_excel) 0.5 (constant_memory) | 202 ms | 2.2x | 20,079 |
+| [fast_excel](https://github.com/Paxa/fast_excel) 0.5 | 240 ms | 2.6x | 320,076 |
+| [write_xlsx](https://github.com/cxn03651/write_xlsx) 1.15 | 610 ms | 6.7x | 1,483,899 |
+| [caxlsx](https://github.com/caxlsx/caxlsx) 4.5 | 678 ms | 7.4x | 745,122 |
+| [rubyXL](https://github.com/weshatheleopard/rubyXL) 3.4 | 2624 ms | 28.6x | 8,700,448 |
+
+All outputs are 702–750 KB.
+
+### Memory
+
+200,000 rows × 5 columns saved to a file; extra peak RSS over a process that only builds the data, median of 3 runs. "Unique" gives every row a different 100-character string; "repeated" uses a handful of values (regions, statuses), as most reports do:
+
+| Library | Unique strings | Repeated strings |
+|---|---:|---:|
+| **fast_xlsx** (`memory: :constant`) | **+2 MB** | **+2 MB** |
+| **fast_xlsx** (`memory: :low`) | +62 MB | **+2 MB** |
+| **fast_xlsx** | +270 MB | +217 MB |
+| fast_excel 0.5 (constant_memory) | +10 MB | +10 MB |
+| fast_excel 0.5 | +183 MB | +151 MB |
+
+The `:standard` mode uses more memory than fast_excel's: when saving, rust_xlsxwriter assembles each worksheet's XML in memory (so several worksheets can be built in parallel) instead of streaming it from a temp file. Use `memory: :constant` or `memory: :low` for large exports.
+
+### Reproduce
+
+```bash
+bundle exec rake compile
+BUNDLE_GEMFILE=bench/Gemfile bundle install
+BUNDLE_GEMFILE=bench/Gemfile bundle exec ruby bench/compare.rb   # speed; optional row count argument
+
+# memory: peak RSS of one run (use /usr/bin/time -v on Linux); subtract the baseline
+BUNDLE_GEMFILE=bench/Gemfile /usr/bin/time -l bundle exec ruby bench/memory.rb baseline unique
+BUNDLE_GEMFILE=bench/Gemfile /usr/bin/time -l bundle exec ruby bench/memory.rb fast_xlsx:low unique
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+bundle add fast_xlsx
+```
+
+Precompiled gems are built for common platforms; other platforms need a Rust toolchain to install. Requires CRuby 3.3+; JRuby and TruffleRuby are not supported because this is a native extension.
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+bin/setup
+bundle exec rake compile   # build the Rust extension into lib/fast_xlsx/
+bundle exec rake test
+bundle exec rake           # compile + test + rubocop
+```
+
+Coverage of the Rust extension while the Ruby tests run (needs [cargo-llvm-cov](https://github.com/taiki-e/cargo-llvm-cov) and `rustup component add llvm-tools-preview`):
+
+```bash
+rm -rf tmp lib/fast_xlsx/fast_xlsx.bundle           # force an instrumented rebuild
+eval "$(cargo llvm-cov show-env --export-prefix)"
+bundle exec rake compile test
+cargo llvm-cov report --release                     # or --lcov / --html
+```
+
+Rebuild in a clean shell afterwards (`rm -rf tmp && bundle exec rake compile`) so the everyday build is not instrumented.
+
+### Releasing
+
+First generate the showcase workbook and open it in Excel to check every feature renders (the test suite only inspects the XML):
+
+```bash
+bundle exec rake compile
+ruby -Ilib examples/showcase.rb showcase.xlsx
+```
+
+Then bump `FastXlsx::VERSION`, update `CHANGELOG.md`, commit, and push a matching tag:
+
+```bash
+git tag v0.1.0 && git push origin v0.1.0
+```
+
+The `Build gems` workflow builds the source gem plus precompiled gems for each platform and pushes them to RubyGems (trusted publishing) and GitHub Packages. It refuses to publish if the tag and `VERSION` differ.
