 A small framework for managing genetic algorithms.
 
 ### Features
-First off, this crate comes with the `builtin`, `crossover`, and `genrand` features by default. If you want it to be parallelized (which is true in most cases), you can add the `rayon` feature. If you want your crossover to be speciated, you can add the `speciation` feature.
+First off, this crate comes with the `builtin`, `genrand`, `crossover`, `knockout`, and `speciation` features by default. If you want the simulation to be parallelized (which is most usecases), add the `rayon` feature. There are also some convenient macros with the `derive` feature.
 
 ### How to Use

-> If you are interested in implementing NEAT with this, or just want a more complex example, try out the [neat](https://crates.io/crates/neat) crate
