+This is a tiny library containing a dynamic array implementation
+
+## changelog
+
+### v0.0.2
+*  A new function, `barray_put_uninitialized`, was added to make it possible to insert elements without initializing them. An example use-case would be when you want to fill the element manually instead of copying the exact content of an existing memory location.
