@@ -24,6 +24,7 @@ Enhancements
 * `Engine::def_tag`, `Engine::def_tag_mut` and `Engine::set_tag` are added to manage a default value for the custom evaluation state, accessible via `EvalState::tag()` (which is the same as `NativeCallContext::tag()`).
 * Originally, the debugger's custom state uses the same state as `EvalState::tag()` (which is the same as `NativeCallContext::tag()`).  It is now split into its own variable accessible under `Debugger::state()`.
 * Non-borrowed string keys can now be deserialized for object maps via `serde`.
+* `Scope::get` is added to get a reference to a variable's value.
