 This is a library for making games on the Game Boy Advance using the Rust
-programming language. It attempts to be a high level abstraction over the
-internal workings of the Game Boy Advance whilst still being high performance

+that allows you to develop games which take advantage of the GBA's capabilities
+without needing to have extensive knowledge of its low-level implementation.
 
 agb provides the following features:
 
 * Simple build process with minimal dependencies
 * Built in importing of sprites, backgrounds, music and sound effects
 * High performance audio mixer
-* Simple sprite and tiled background usage
-* Global allocator allowing for use of both `core` and `alloc`

 ## Stability
 
-While in 0.x releases, we are following a semi-semantic versioning.
-So 0.x.y will be compatible with 0.x.z provided that y > z, but any changes
-to the minor version will be incompatible with one another.
+While agb is in the pre-1.0 phase, we follow a semi-semantic versioning scheme to ensure compatibility between minor releases.
+Specifically, any 0.x.y release is guaranteed to be compatible with another 0.x.z release provided that y > z, but there may be breaking changes between minor releases (i.e., changes to the second digit, e.g., between 0.1 and 0.2).
 
-Once we hit version 1.0, we will maintain stronger semantic versioning.
+Once agb reaches version 1.0, we will transition to stronger semantic versioning, meaning that any breaking changes will be indicated by an increment to the major version (i.e., the first digit, e.g., from 1.0 to 2.0).
