@@ -136,6 +136,7 @@ Other Changes:
 - ImFontAtlas: Added ImFontAtlasFlags_NoPowerOfTwoHeight flag to disable padding font height to nearest power of two. (#1613)
 - ImFontAtlas: Added ImFontAtlasFlags_NoMouseCursors flag to disable baking software mouse cursors, mostly to save texture memory on very low end hardware. (#1613)
 - ImDrawList: Fixed AddRect() with antialiasing disabled (lower-right corner pixel was often missing, rounding looks a little better.) (#1646)
+- ImDrawList: Added CloneOutput() helper to facilitate the cloning of ImDrawData or ImDrawList for multi-threaded rendering.
 - Misc: Functions passed to libc qsort are explicitely marked cdecl to support compiling with vectorcall as the default calling convention. (#1230, #1611) [@RandyGaul]
 - Misc: ImVec2: added [] operator. This is becoming desirable for some types of code, better added sooner than later.
 - Misc: Exposed IM_OFFSETOF() helper in imgui.h.
