+### Change requirements
+
+Please consider the following when making a change:
+
+* Almost all changes that modify the Rust code must be accompanied with a test.
+
+* Almost all features and changes must update the documentation.
+  mdBook has the [mdBook Guide](https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/) whose source is at <https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook/tree/master/guide>.
+
+* Almost all Rust items should be documented with doc comments.
+  See the [Rustdoc Book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustdoc/) for more information on writing doc comments.
+
+* Breaking the API can only be done in major SemVer releases.
+  These are done very infrequently, so it is preferred to avoid these when possible.
+  See [SemVer Compatibility](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/semver.html) for more information on what a SemVer breaking change is.
+
+  (Note: At this time, some SemVer breaking changes are inevitable due to the current code structure.
+  An example is adding new fields to the config structures.
+  These are intended to be fixed in the next major release.)
+
+* Similarly, the CLI interface is considered to be stable.
+  Care should be taken to avoid breaking existing workflows.
+
+* Check out the [Rust API Guidelines](https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/) for guidelines on designing the API.
 
 ### Making a pull-request
 
 When you feel comfortable that your changes could be integrated into mdBook, you can create a pull-request on GitHub.
 One of the core maintainers will then approve the changes or request some changes before it gets merged.
 
-If you want to make your pull-request even better, you might want to run [Clippy](https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy)
-and [rustfmt](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt) on the code first.
-This is not a requirement though and will never block a pull-request from being merged.

 That's it, happy contributions! :tada: :tada: :tada:
