 - STR missed reply handling is now moved to DHB rather than the COM interface. The COM IF will
   still trigger an event if a reply is taking too long, and FDIR should still work via reply
   timeouts.
+- Re-ordered some functions of the core controller in the initialize function.
 - Rad sensor is now only polled every 30 minutes instead of every device cycle to reduce wear of
   the RADFET electronics.
 
@@ -34,6 +35,9 @@ will consitute of a breaking change warranting a new major release:
 - The STR handler can now handle the COM error reply and triggers an low severity event accordingly.
 - Add SCEX handler for EM.
 - Radiation sensor handler dummy for the EM.
+- Added event for SD card information in core controller initialize function. This event will also
+  be triggered after the SD state machine has run, so the event will generally be triggered twice
+  at system boot, and once after commanding SD card switches.
 
 ## Fixed
