+## What is SMAPI?
+**SMAPI** is an [open-source](LICENSE) modding API for [Stardew Valley](http://stardewvalley.net/)
+that lets you play the game with mods. It's safely installed alongside the game's executable, and
+doesn't change any of your game files. It serves five main purposes:
+
+1. **Load mods into the game.**  
+   _SMAPI loads mods when the game is starting up so they can interact with it. (Code mods aren't
+   possible without SMAPI to load them.)_
+
+2. **Provide APIs and events for mods.**  
+   _SMAPI provides low-level APIs and events which let mods interact with the game in ways they
+   otherwise couldn't._
+
+3. **Rewrite mods for crossplatform compatibility.**  
+   _SMAPI rewrites mods' compiled code before loading them so they work on Linux/Mac/Windows
+   without the mods needing to handle differences between the Linux/Mac and Windows versions of the
+   game._
+
+4. **Rewrite mods to update them.**  
+   _SMAPI detects when a mod accesses part of the game that changed in a recent update which
+   affects many mods, and rewrites the mod so it's compatible._
+
+5. **Intercept errors.**  
+   _SMAPI intercepts errors that happen in the game, displays the error details in the console
+   window, and in most cases automatically recovers the game. This prevents mods from accidentally
+   crashing the game, and makes it possible to troubleshoot errors in the game itself that would
+   otherwise show a generic 'program has stopped working' type of message._

 ## Advanced usage
 ### Configuration file
 You can customise the SMAPI behaviour by editing the `StardewModdingAPI.config.json` file in your
-game folder. If it's missing, it'll be generated automatically next time SMAPI runs. It contains
-these fields:
+game folder. It contains these fields:
 
 field | purpose
 ----- | -------
 `DeveloperMode` | Default `false` (except in _SMAPI for developers_ releases). Whether to enable features intended for mod developers. Currently this only makes `TRACE`-level messages appear in the console.
 `CheckForUpdates` | Default `true`. Whether SMAPI should check for a newer version when you load the game. If a new version is available, a small message will appear in the console. This doesn't affect the load time even if your connection is offline or slow, because it happens in the background.
+`ModCompatibility` | A list of mod versions SMAPI should consider compatible or broken regardless of whether it detects incompatible code. Each record can be set to `AssumeCompatible` or `AssumeBroken`. Changing this field is not recommended and may destabilise your game.
 
 ### Command-line arguments
-SMAPI recognises the following command-line arguments. These are intended for internal use and may
-change without warning.
+SMAPI recognises the following command-line arguments. These are intended for internal use or
+testing and may change without warning.
 
 argument | purpose
 -------- | -------
+`--log path "path"` | The relative or absolute path of the log file SMAPI should write.
 `--no-terminal` | SMAPI won't write anything to the console window. (Messages will still be written to the log file.)

 # Release notes
 
+<!--
+## 2.0
+See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/1.10...2.0).
+
+For mod developers:
+* Added `ContentEvents.AssetLoading` event with a helper which lets you intercept the XNB content
+  load, and dynamically adjust or replace the content being loaded (including support for patching
+  images).
+
+## 1.10
+See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/1.9...1.10).
+* Updated for Stardew Valley 1.2.
+* SMAPI now rewrites many mods for compatibility with game updates, but some mods will need an update.
+-->
+
+## 1.9
+See [log](https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/compare/1.8...1.9).
+
+For players:
+* SMAPI now detects incompatible mods and disables them before they cause problems.
+* SMAPI now allows mods nested into an otherwise empty parent folder (like `Mods\ModName-1.0\ModName\manifest.json`), since that's a common default behaviour when unpacking mods.
+* The installer now detects if you need to update .NET Framework before installing SMAPI.
+* The installer now detects if you need to run the game at least once (to let it perform first-time setup) before installing SMAPI.
+* The installer on Linux now finds games installed to `~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley` too.
+* The installer now removes old SMAPI logs to prevent confusion.
+* The console now has simpler error messages.
+* The console now has improved command handling & feedback.
+* The console no longer shows the game's debug output (unless you use a _SMAPI for developers_ build).
+* Fixed the game-needs-an-update error not pausing before exit.
+* Fixed installer errors for some players when deleting files.
+* Fixed installer not ignoring potential game folders that don't contain a Stardew Valley exe.
+* Fixed installer not recognising Linux/Mac paths starting with `~/` or containing an escaped space.
+* Fixed TrainerMod letting you add invalid items which may crash the game.
+* Fixed TrainerMod's `world_downminelevel` command not working.
+* Fixed rare issue where mod dependencies would override SMAPI dependencies and cause unpredictable bugs.
+* Fixed errors in mods' console command handlers crashing the game.
+
+For mod developers:
+* Added a simpler API for console commands (see `helper.ConsoleCommands`).
+* Added `TimeEvents.AfterDayStarted` event triggered when a day starts. This happens no matter how the day started (including new game, loaded save, or player went to bed).
+* Added `ContentEvents.AfterLocaleChanged` event triggered when the player changes the content language (for the upcoming Stardew Valley 1.2).
+* Added `SaveEvents.AfterReturnToTitle` event triggered when the player returns to the title screen (for the upcoming Stardew Valley 1.2).
+* Added `helper.Reflection.GetPrivateProperty` method.
+* Added a `--log-path` argument to specify the SMAPI log path during testing.
+* SMAPI now writes XNA input enums (`Buttons` and `Keys`) to JSON as strings automatically, so mods no longer need to add a `StringEnumConverter` themselves for those.
+* The SMAPI log now has a simpler filename.
+* The SMAPI log now shows the OS caption (like "Windows 10") instead of its internal version when available.
+* The SMAPI log now always uses `\r\n` line endings to simplify crossplatform viewing.
+* Fixed `SaveEvents.AfterLoad` being raised during the new-game intro before the player is initialised.
+* Fixed SMAPI not recognising `Mod` instances that don't subclass `Mod` directly.
+* Several obsolete APIs have been removed (see [deprecation guide](http://canimod.com/guides/updating-a-smapi-mod)),
+  and all _notice_-level deprecations have been increased to _info_.
+* Removed the experimental `IConfigFile`.
+
+For SMAPI developers:
+* Added support for debugging SMAPI on Linux/Mac if supported by the editor.
