 ## Unreleased
 
+### Prelude items added / removed ([#1149])
+
+The following items have been removed from the prelude:
+
+- `style::Styled` - this trait is useful for widgets that want to
+  support the Stylize trait, but it adds complexity as widgets have two
+  `style` methods and a `set_style` method.
+- `symbols::Marker` - this item is used by code that needs to draw to
+  the `Canvas` widget, but it's not a common item that would be used by
+  most users of the library.
+- `terminal::{CompletedFrame, TerminalOptions, Viewport}` - these items
+  are rarely used by code that needs to interact with the terminal, and
+  they're generally only ever used once in any app.
+
+The following items have been added to the prelude:
+
+- `layout::{Position, Size}` - these items are used by code that needs
+  to interact with the layout system. These are newer items that were
+  added in the last few releases, which should be used more liberally.
+  This may cause conflicts for types defined elsewhere with a similar
+  name.
+
+To update your app:
+
+```diff
+// if your app uses Styled::style() or Styled::set_style():
+-use ratatui::prelude::*;
++use ratatui::{prelude::*, style::Styled};
+
+// if your app uses symbols::Marker:
+-use ratatui::prelude::*;
++use ratatui::{prelude::*, symbols::Marker}
+
+// if your app uses terminal::{CompletedFrame, TerminalOptions, Viewport}
+-use ratatui::prelude::*;
++use ratatui::{prelude::*, terminal::{CompletedFrame, TerminalOptions, Viewport}};
+
+// to disambiguate existing types named Position or Size:
+- use some_crate::{Position, Size};
+- let size: Size = ...;
+- let position: Position = ...;
++ let size: some_crate::Size = ...;
++ let position: some_crate::Position = ...;
+```

+### Termion is updated to 4.0 [#1106]
+
+Changelog: <https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/termion/-/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md>
+
+A change is only necessary if you were matching on all variants of the `MouseEvent` enum without a
+wildcard. In this case, you need to either handle the two new variants, `MouseLeft` and
+`MouseRight`, or add a wildcard.

 /// A [`Backend`] implementation that uses [Crossterm] to render to the terminal.

-/// The `CrosstermBackend` struct is a wrapper around a writer implementing [`Write`], which is
-/// used to send commands to the terminal. It provides methods for drawing content, manipulating
-/// the cursor, and clearing the terminal screen.
+/// The `CrosstermBackend` struct is a wrapper around a writer implementing [`Write`], which is used
+/// to send commands to the terminal. It provides methods for drawing content, manipulating the
+/// cursor, and clearing the terminal screen.
 ///
-/// Most applications should not call the methods on `CrosstermBackend` directly, but will instead
-/// use the [`Terminal`] struct, which provides a more ergonomic interface.
+/// Convenience methods ([`CrosstermBackend::stdout`] and [`CrosstermBackend::stderr`] are provided
+/// to create a `CrosstermBackend` with [`std::io::stdout`] or [`std::io::stderr`] as the writer
+/// with raw mode enabled and the terminal switched to the alternate screen.
 ///
-/// Usually applications will enable raw mode and switch to alternate screen mode after creating
-/// a `CrosstermBackend`. This is done by calling [`crossterm::terminal::enable_raw_mode`] and
-/// [`crossterm::terminal::EnterAlternateScreen`] (and the corresponding disable/leave functions
-/// when the application exits). This is not done automatically by the backend because it is
-/// possible that the application may want to use the terminal for other purposes (like showing
-/// help text) before entering alternate screen mode.
+/// If the default settings are not desired, the `CrosstermBackend` can be configured using the
+/// `with_*` methods. These methods return an [`io::Result`] containing self so that they can be
+/// chained with other methods. The settings are restored when the `CrosstermBackend` is dropped.
