+### Changes in FSharp.Core
+
+The FSharp compiler uses an implicit FSharp.Core. This means that if you introduce changes to FSharp.Core and want to use it in a project, you need to disable the implicit version used by the compiler, and add a reference to your custom FSharp.Core dll. Both are done in the `.fsproj` file of your project.
+
+Disabling the implicit FSharp.Core is done with
+```
+  <PropertyGroup>
+    <DisableImplicitFSharpCoreReference>true</DisableImplicitFSharpCoreReference>
+  </PropertyGroup>
+```
+and referencing your custom FSharp.Core, available after you build the compiler, is done with
+```
+  <ItemGroup>
+    <Reference Include="FSharp.Core">

 ## Updating FSComp.fs, FSComp.resx and XLF
 
 If your changes involve modifying the list of language keywords in any way, (e.g. when implementing a new keyword), the XLF localization files need to be synced with the corresponding resx files. This can be done automatically by running
