+## tracking the node api
+
+This module tracks the Buffer API in the latest (unstable) version of node.js. The Buffer
+API is considered **stable** in the
+[node stability index](http://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/documentation.html#documentation_stability_index),
+so it is unlikely that there will ever be breaking changes.
+Nonetheless, when/if the Buffer API changes in node, this module's API will change
+accordingly.
