+## 1.40.0
+
+We're adopting a new release strategy to minimize dependency bloat in projects that consume Gomega.  It is a limitation of the go mod toolchain that _test_ subdependencies of your project's direct dependencies get pulled in as *indirect* dependencies.  In the case of Gomega, this ends up pulling in all of Ginkgo into your `go.mod` even if you are only using Gomega (Gomega uses Ginkgo for its own tests).
+
+Going forward, releases will strip out all tests, tidy up the `go.mod` and then push this stripped down version to a new `master-lite` branch.  These stripped-down versions will receive the `vx.y.z` git tag and will be picked up by the go toolchain.
+
+Please open an issue if this new release process causes unexpected changes for your projects.

 ## 1.39.1
 
 Update all dependencies.  This auto-updated the required version of Go to 1.24, consistent with the fact that Go 1.23 has been out of support for almost six months.

+> A note about the Gomega release.  Versioned releases are shipped wtih git tags.  These tags point to versions of Gomega that live on the `master-lite` branch and have had their tests stripped out.  This ensures that no Ginkgo dependency (whether direct or indirect) is pulled in when users pull in Gomega.  It is a limitation of the Go package ecosystem that the test dependencies of your dependency become indirect dependencies of your project.  By stripping tests out we keep (independent) dependency bloat to a minimum - particularly for test suites that don't use ginkgo but do use gomega.

 ## Getting Gomega as needed
 
 Instead of getting all of Gomega and it's dependency tree, you can use the go command to get the dependencies as needed.
