+## Typography Module
+
+With the addition of vertical-rhythms to the compass core, we have created a new
+[typography module][typography_module], and moved several items that were formerly
+listed as "utilities" into it. The moved modules are "links", "lists" and "text".
+These will all remain part of the basic compass include, but if you were including 
+them individually in your stylesheets, you will need to adjust the include paths
+as follows:
+
+* "compass/utilities/links" becomes "compass/typography/links"
+* "compass/utilities/lists" becomes "compass/typography/lists"
+* "compass/utilities/text" becomes "compass/typography/text"
