+
+This version of Elixirscript has a lot of major changes. Here are some of the changes in the new release:
+
+## Bundled output
+
+This release is the first release to bundle all modules into one JavaScript file. 
+The output will now include only the following:
+
+  * `Elixir.Bootstrap.js` - The Elixirscript bootstrapping JavaScript
+  * `Elixir.App.js`. - The bundled modules
+
+## Removed `@on_js_load`
+
+`@on_js_load` is no more. In order to start you application, you would do the following:
+
+```js
+//Note: An ES module example. Update for your module output of choice
+import Elixir from "./Elixir.App";
+
+const my_inital_args = [];
+Elixir.start(Elixir.MyApp, my_inital_args);
+```
+
+This looks for a `start/2` function in the `MyApp` module. It tries to mimick the API of a normal
+Elixir Application.
+
+```elixir
+  def start(type, args) do
+  end
+```
+
+## Removed `JS.import`
+
+`JS.import` is also no more. External JavaScript modules now must be defined in configuration.
+A new configuration, `js_modules` is where they go.
+
+```elixir
+js_modules: [
+  {React, "react"},
+  {ReactDOM, "react-dom"}
+]
+```
+
+In the example above, both `React` and `ReactDOM` will be imported at the top of the bundled output.
+Each item can be a 2-tuple or a 3-tuple with the third element being a keyword list of options for the
+defined module output format.
+
+
+## elixirscript.exs config file
+
+If you are using Elixirscript outside of a mix project, 
+you can still give it configuration using an `elixirscript.exs` file. The contents must be a keyword list
+with the exact same options are the elixir_script config defined in mix projects.
+
+```elixir
+#example elixirscript.exs file
+
+[ 
+  input: ["app/elixirscript"], 
+  output: "dist",
+  format: :common,
+  js_modules: [
+    {React, "react"},
+    {ReactDOM, "react-dom"}
+  ]
+]
+
+```
+
+The `elixirscript` CLI will look for an `elixirscript.exs` file in the current directory, 
+or you can specify one with the `-c` flag
+
