It's in the usual place, the NEWS file in the ODB compiler:

This feature is on our TODO though it is very complex so I don't think
it will make it into this release.

Not likely.

Change-tracking containers are not exactly trivial to implement,
especially if you want to do this efficiently. On the other hand,
if you make some application-specific assumptions (e.g., elements
are never removed) or accept some inefficiency, then an application-
specific implementation can be provided relatively easily. I suggest
that you study the ODB's implementation of vector to get a sense.
