 # unicode-segmenter
 
+## 0.18.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- a6b246a: Add `unicode-segmenter/grapheme-counter`, a standalone fast counter for extended grapheme clusters.
+
+  `countGraphemes()` from the new entry returns exactly the same result as the one in `unicode-segmenter/grapheme`, but runs the boundary rules directly without allocating segment objects or slicing strings:
+
+  - 4\~7x faster counting on V8, ~4x on Hermes, with zero allocation
+  - Standalone entry (4,852 bytes minified, 2,353 bytes gzipped); doesn't carry the segmenter code, and the segmenter entry doesn't carry the counter - even without tree-shaking
+  - The `countGraphemes()` wrapper in `unicode-segmenter/grapheme` is unchanged and stays as the convenience API
+
 ## 0.17.0
