+## 1.0.0 (...)
 
+From version 1.0 our async support is now optional, as the package has minimal dependencies by default.
+
+For async support use either `pip install 'httpcore[asyncio]'` or `pip install 'httpcore[trio]'`.
+
+The project versioning policy is now explicitly governed by SEMVER. See https://semver.org/.

 * To provide a reusable low-level client library, that other packages can then build on top of.
 * To provide a *really clear interface split* between the networking code and client logic,
   so that each is easier to understand and reason about in isolation.

+## Dependencies
+
+The `httpcore` package has the following dependencies...
+
+* `h11`
+* `certifi`
+
+And the following optional extras...
+
+* `anyio` - Required by `pip install httpcore['asyncio']`.

+## Versioning
+
+We use [SEMVER for our versioning policy](https://semver.org/).
+
+For changes between package versions please see our [project changelog](CHANGELOG.md).
+
+We recommend pinning your requirements either the most current major version, or a more specific version range:
+
+```python
+pip install 'httpcore==1.*'

 Launching concurrent async tasks is far more resource efficient than spawning multiple threads. The Python interpreter should be able to comfortably handle switching between over 1000 concurrent tasks, while a sensible number of threads in a thread pool might be to enable around 10 or 20 concurrent threads.
 
+## Enabling Async support
+
+If you're using async with [Python's stdlib `asyncio` support](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html), install the optional dependencies using:
+
+```shell
+$ pip install 'httpcore[asyncio]'
+```
+
+Alternatively, if you're working with [the Python `trio` package](https://trio.readthedocs.io/en/stable/):
+
+```shell
+$ pip install 'httpcore[trio]'
+```
+
+We highly recommend `trio` for async support. The `trio` project [pioneered the principles of structured concurrency](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_concurrency), and has a more carefully constrained API against which to work from.

 ## API differences
