 ## Unreleased
 
-- Include a new alternative, "Green Byte Model" with the figures after speaking to folks at the IEA and other places.

+
+# [0.9.0] - 2022-03-28
+
+### Added
+
+- Added newly implemented Sustainable Web Design model [thanks @dryden!]
+- Added new readme page for using both emissions models
+- Added new source of data to the Sustainable Web Design model from Ember Climate.
+### Changed
+
+- Changed the CO2 class to accept either the One Byte model or the Sustainable Web Design model
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed various typos.
+
+# [0.8.0] - 2021-11-28
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Update further dependencies
+- Fix embarassing order of magnitude typo in 1byte model (thanks @mstaschik!)
+
+## Added
+
+- Read JSON blob also as gzipped #44 (thanks @soulgalore)
+
+### Changed
+
+- The 1byte model will give different numbers now. It's mentioned in `#fixed` but it's worth repeating.

+We know computers use electricity, and because most of the electricity we use comes from burning fossil fuels, there is an environmental cost to every upload and download we make over the internet.
 
 We can do something about this though. The same way we use performance budgets to make apps and websites faster and cheaper to run, we can use carbon budgets to make them faster, cheaper and _greener_.
 
 The CO2 package from [The Green Web Foundation][tgwf] lets you quickly estimate these emissions, to make measurable improvements as part of your workflow.
 
-It does this by implementing the 1byte model as used by the Shift Project, as introduced in their report on CO2 emissions from digital infrastructure, [Lean ICT: for a sober digital][soberDigital], to return a number for the estimated CO2 emissions for the corresponding number of bytes sent over the wire.
+### How it works
 
-It is currently used in the web performance tool [sitespeed.io][], to help developers build greener, more planet friendly digital services.
+It does this by implementing various models for converting the measurable usage of digital services into a figure for the estimated CO2 emissions.
+
+This defaults to the 1byte model as used by the Shift Project, as introduced in their report on CO2 emissions from digital infrastructure, [Lean ICT: for a sober digital][soberDigital], with the [Sustainable Web Design model][swd] as a popular alternative..
+
+For more information, see the documentation [for when to use the different models, with code samples to start you off](./src/readme.md).
+
+### Who uses it
+
+It is currently used in the web performance tool [sitespeed.io][], [ecoping][], [Websitecarbon.com](websitecarbon), and [ecograder][] to help developers build greener, more planet friendly digital services.

-### Notes
-
-Please note, we currently look at just the carbon cost of _generating_ the electricity, similar to how the [International Energy Agency (IEA)] does, not the full life cycle cost of the energy.
-
-Doing this would include things like:
-
-- the carbon emitted when carrying out activity associated with digging up the fuel
-- the carbon associated with mining the materials to _build_ the power stations, datacentres, and so on
-- the end of life costs
-- the maintenance costs over the life of the datacentres, power generation and end user devices, and the rest of the internet
-
-Life cycle figures do exist, but they are very difficult to do well. If you're interested in contributing to this, we'd love to hear from you.
