 - [#2135](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/pull/2135) [Documentation](./PACKAGING.md) for linux distribution maintainers
 
 ### Changed
+- [#2293](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/pull/2293) The `Memory::ty` trait method now returns `MemoryType` by value. `wasmer_vm::LinearMemory` now recomputes `MemoryType`'s `minimum` field when accessing its type. This behavior is what's expected by the latest spectests. `wasmer::Memory::ty` has also been updated to follow suit, it now returns `MemoryType` by value.
 - [#2251](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/pull/2251) Wasmer CLI will now execute WASI modules with multiple WASI namespaces in them by default. Use `--allow-multiple-wasi-versions` to suppress the warning and use `--deny-multiple-wasi-versions` to make it an error.
 - [#2201](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/pull/2201) Implement `loupe::MemoryUsage` for `wasmer::Instance`.
 - [#2200](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/pull/2200) Implement `loupe::MemoryUsage` for `wasmer::Module`.
