+# 1.0.0 - 2023-05-25
+
+The first major release of LibCST is essentially the same as 0.4.10, but using the
+newer, Rust-based parser implementation by default. The old, pure Python parser is
+scheduled for removal in the next (non-patch) release. Until then, it is available with
+the `LIBCST_PARSER_TYPE` environment variable set to `pure`.
+
+## Updated
+
+* Switch the default parser implementation to native by @zsol in https://github.com/Instagram/LibCST/pull/929

 # 0.4.10 - 2023-05-23

 A native extension to enable parsing of new Python grammar in LibCST.
 
 The extension is written in Rust, and exposed to Python using [PyO3](https://pyo3.rs/).
-This is packaged together with libcst, and can be imported from `libcst.native`. When
-the `LIBCST_PARSER_TYPE` environment variable is set to `native`, the LibCST APIs use
-this module for all parsing.
+This is packaged together with libcst, and can be imported from `libcst.native`. By default

 Later on, the parser library might be packaged separately as 
 [a Rust crate](https://crates.io). Pull requests towards this are much appreciated.
