+- fix: Use NewEvent to init Event struct (#220)
+
+_NOTE:_
+A change introduced in v0.6.0 with the intent of avoiding allocations made a
+pattern used in official examples break in certain circumstances (attempting
+to write to a nil map).
+This release reverts the change such that maps in the Event struct are always
+allocated.
