 Changes in existing checks
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
+- Fixed a false positive in :doc:`readability-container-size-empty
+  <clang-tidy/checks/readability/container-size-empty>` check object of
+  ``std::array`` type were compared to the default constructed ``std::array``.
+
 Removed checks
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
