 ### Added
 
+- [#1718](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/pull/1718) Fix panic in the API in some situations when the memory's min bound was greater than the memory's max bound.
 - [#1709](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/pull/1709) Implement `wasm_module_name` and `wasm_module_set_name` in the Wasm(er) C API.
 - [#1700](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/pull/1700) Implement `wasm_externtype_copy` in the Wasm C API.
