## v0.4.0 (2024-12-05)

 * `FormatElement` now borrows a `&str` instead of owning a `String`, leading to fewer allocations and a significant performance improvement (PR [#10][PR10], thanks to [Samuel Collins (Humandoodlebug)][Humandoodlebug]).
   - this is a __breaking API change__ to the lower-level v0.2 API
   - the original and primary (v0.1) API is unchanged
