+## Upgrading From uuid\@7
+
+### Only Named Exports Supported When Using with Node.js ESM
+
+uuid\@7 did not come with native ECMAScript Module (ESM) support for Node.js. Importing it in
+Node.js ESM consequently imported the CommonJS source with a default export. This library now comes
+with true Node.js ESM support and only provides named exports.
+
+Instead of doing:
+
+```javascript
+import uuid from 'uuid';
+uuid.v4();
+```
+
+you will now have to use the named exports:
+
+```javascript
+import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid';
+uuidv4();
+```
+
+### Deep Requires No Longer Supported
+
+Deep requires like `require('uuid/v4')` [which have been deprecated in
+uuid\@7](#deep-requires-now-deprecated) are no longer supported.
