+Please see our [FAQ](https://github.com/handlebars-lang/handlebars.js/blob/master/FAQ.md) for common issues that people run into.
 
 Should you run into other issues with the project, please don't hesitate to let us know by filing an [issue][issue]! In general we are going to ask for an example of the problem failing, which can be as simple as a jsfiddle/jsbin/etc. We've put together a jsfiddle [template][jsfiddle] to ease this. (We will keep this link up to date as new releases occur, so feel free to check back here)
 
 Pull requests containing only failing tests demonstrating the issue are welcomed and this also helps ensure that your issue won't regress in the future once it's fixed.
 
-Documentation issues on the handlebarsjs.com site should be reported on [handlebars-site](https://github.com/wycats/handlebars-site).

-npm link

 Handlebars.js
 =============
 
-Handlebars.js is an extension to the [Mustache templating
-language](http://mustache.github.com/) created by Chris Wanstrath.
-Handlebars.js and Mustache are both logicless templating languages that
-keep the view and the code separated like we all know they should be.
+Handlebars provides the power necessary to let you build **semantic templates** effectively with no frustration.
+Handlebars is largely compatible with Mustache templates. In most cases it is possible to swap out Mustache with Handlebars and continue using your current templates.
 
 Checkout the official Handlebars docs site at

+## v4.7.8 - July 27th, 2023
+
+- Make library compatible with workers (#1894) - 3d3796c
+- Don't rely on Node.js global object (#1776) - 2954e7e

+## v4.7.7 - February 15th, 2021
+
+- fix weird error in integration tests - eb860c0
+- fix: check prototype property access in strict-mode (#1736) - b6d3de7
+- fix: escape property names in compat mode (#1736) - f058970
+- refactor: In spec tests, use expectTemplate over equals and shouldThrow (#1683) - 77825f8
+- chore: start testing on Node.js 12 and 13 - 3789a30
+
+(POSSIBLY) BREAKING CHANGES:
+
+- the changes from version [4.6.0](https://github.com/handlebars-lang/handlebars.js/blob/master/release-notes.md#v460---january-8th-2020) now also apply
+  in when using the compile-option "strict: true". Access to prototype properties is forbidden completely by default, specific properties or methods
+  can be allowed via runtime-options. See #1633 for details. If you are using Handlebars as documented, you should not be accessing prototype properties
+  from your template anyway, so the changes should not be a problem for you. Only the use of undocumented features can break your build.
+
+That is why we only bump the patch version despite mentioning breaking changes.
