 ## 0.9.10
 - Added indentation-style rules to the lint module with configurable indent size as specified in [example_lint_cfg.json](./example_files/example_lint_cfg.README)
+- Added "explicit\_param\_decl" as a know provisional (NOTE: the provisionals
+  actual functionality is not implemented)
 - Configuration changes are now correctly tracked with the pull-model, and the
   server should correctly update most settings without a restart on config
   change.
