+## 0.4.0 — 2026-08-30
+
+Ten shaders built around input: six that answer the pointer, four made for
+text, and a `{ text }` source so the text ones have something to answer.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Pointer shaders.** `eyes` (a wall of eyes that follow the cursor and blink
+  on their own clocks), `tesla` (a plasma globe whose filament seeks the
+  pointer, clamped to the glass), `magnet` (field lines of three charges, one
+  riding the pointer — closed forms, nothing traced), `torch` (a guttering
+  light in your hand over a rock heightfield, lit off its own derivative),
+  `parallax` (five ridgelines the pointer pans, each by its own depth), and
+  `gravity` (a starfield lensed by a mass at the cursor, Einstein ring
+  included). All six carry themselves with the pointer at rest, so a card is
+  never a dead frame.
+- **Text shaders.** `neon-sign` (the layer's luma boundary bent into tube and
+  lit), `ascii` (the layer redrawn from a ten-glyph density ramp — the font is
+  packed into ten integers, so a vendored copy needs no assets), `shatter`
+  (voronoi shards whose contents fly from the pointer; the progress slider is
+  a scrubber at speed 0, same contract as reveal), and `melt` (the layer runs
+  downhill, and the pointer is the heat). Forty-two shaders in total.
+- **`{ text }` sources.** `source={{ text: "OPEN" }}` renders a line of text
+  to an offscreen canvas — newlines break lines, `font` is one CSS shorthand,
+  half an em of margin left all round — and reads it like any image. Type:
+  `ShaderSourceText`.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **The free tier now covers every family.** Twelve of the forty-two shaders
+  hand over their source to anyone — one from each of the ten families, plus
+  `radiance` and `eyes`, kept as second representatives of traced light and
+  pointer interaction. New to the list: `mesh-gradient`, `julia`,
+  `film-grain`, `lens`, `shockwave`, `eyes` and `ascii`.
+
+### Compatibility
+
+The `Params` block at `@group(0) @binding(0)` is unchanged, byte for byte, and
+the source bindings are the same three that 0.2.0 added. `ShaderSourceInput`
+widens to accept `{ text }`; every value it accepted before is still accepted.
+
