@@ -156,6 +156,7 @@ All the random notes that should make up a nice changelog:
 * Dropped already deprecated toplevel `map` function
 * Killed the already deprecated modifiers `asFlat` etc. If you war still using this, see the MobX 2 -> 3 migration notes.
 * `autorun` now accepts a scheduler function to allow improved performance for tasks such as rendering to canvas
+* Observable maps now fully implement the map interface. See [#1361](https://github.com/mobxjs/mobx/pull/1361) by [Marc Fallows](https://github.com/marcfallows)
