 ## **[Unreleased]**
 
+- [#817](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/pull/817) Add document for tracking features across backends and language integrations, [docs/feature_matrix.md]
 - [#823](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/issues/823) Improved Emscripten / WASI integration
 - [#821](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/issues/821) Remove patch version on most deps Cargo manifests.  This gives Wasmer library users more control over which versions of the deps they use.
 - [#820](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/issues/820) Remove null-pointer checks in `WasmPtr` from runtime-core, re-add them in Emscripten
