 # Changelog
 
+## 0.8.0
+
+- Rich text keeps its formatting. The model reads Lexical as Markdown blocks, one per paragraph,
+  heading or list, and changes single blocks (`set` on `content.2`, `array.insert`,
+  `array.remove`); every other block stays exactly as stored, alignment and styles included.
+  Headings, lists, bold, italic and links come back through Payload's own converters with the
+  field's editor config. Internal links read and write as `[text](doc:pages/12)` and are checked
+  against the field's `LinkFeature` collections and the editor's access. Parts Markdown cannot
+  express (embedded uploads, relationships, custom blocks) are kept, and may be moved or removed but
+  not changed. Before, any change to rich text turned it into plain paragraphs.
+- New optional peer dependency `@payloadcms/richtext-lexical`; without it, rich text works as before.
+- The change list shows which parts of a rich text field changed.
+- A list that is not rich text blocks is refused for a rich text field instead of reaching the form.
+- `validateProposal` receives the data as it will be stored, rich text as Lexical, instead of the
+  compiled operations' raw values.

+## Rich text
+
+With `@payloadcms/richtext-lexical` installed, the assistant reads Lexical rich text as Markdown,
+one block per paragraph, heading or list, and changes only the blocks it is asked to: headings,
+lists, bold, italic and links survive, and every other block stays exactly as stored. It writes only
+what the field's editor allows. Internal links keep pointing at their documents, and new ones must
+point at a collection the field's `LinkFeature` allows and that the editor can read. Parts Markdown
+cannot express, such as an embedded image, are kept as they are. Without the package, rich text is
+written as plain paragraphs as before.
+
 ## Keep or undo
 
 A proposed form change goes straight into the open form, so the fields and Live Preview show it
