@@ -19,6 +19,9 @@ The dependencies are:
   * Added #region, #endregion directives support for editors
   * I added support for 'monlithic packages' or 'uniform-across-subdirectories packages'. It allows me to organize the main package with sub-directories.
   * Added the ability to debug using statements on structs (fields get dumped to the stack as ptr refs)
+  * Remove implicit assignments for container allocators in the Base and Core packages
+    * I did not enjoy bug hunting a memory corruption because I mistakenly didn't properly initialize a core container with their designated initiatizer: new, make, or init.
+    * See fork Readme for which procedures were changed..
 * Odin repo's base, core, and vendor(raylib) libaries
 * An ini parser
 * backtrace (not used yet)
