 # UNRELEASED
 
 -   Update matrix-rusk-sdk to `e99939db857ca`.
+-   The published package is now a proper dual CommonJS/ESM package.
+-   The WebAssembly module is now loaded using `fetch` on Web platforms, reducing
+    the bundle size significantly, as well as the time it takes to compile it.
+
+**BREAKING CHANGES**
+
+-   The WebAssembly module is no longer synchronously loaded on Web platforms
+    when used. This means that the `initAsync` function **must** be called before any
+    other functions are used. The behaviour is unchanged and still available on
+    Node.js.

 2. Import the library into your project and initialise it.
-
-    It is recommended that you use a dynamic import, particularly in a Web
-    environment, because the WASM artifiact is large:
+   The library must be initialised before it can be used, else it will throw an error.
+   On Web platforms, the library will use `fetch` to get the WebAssembly binary, which should be handled by most bundlers.
 
     ```javascript
+    import { initAsync, Tracing, LoggerLevel, OlmMachine, UserId, DeviceId } from "@matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-wasm";
+
     async function loadCrypto(userId, deviceId) {
-        const matrixSdkCrypto = await import("@matrix-org/matrix-sdk-crypto-wasm");
-        await matrixSdkCrypto.initAsync();
+        // Do this before any other calls to the library
+        await initAsync();
 
         // Optional: enable tracing in the rust-sdk
-        new matrixSdkCrypto.Tracing(matrixSdkCrypto.LoggerLevel.Trace).turnOn();
+        new Tracing(LoggerLevel.Trace).turnOn();
 
         // Create a new OlmMachine

         // indexedDB where that is available.
