@@ -84,6 +84,7 @@ Other Changes:
 - Examples: OpenGL: Fix for OSX not supporting OpenGL 4.5, we don't try to read GL_CLIP_ORIGIN
   even if the OpenGL headers/loader happens to define the value. (#2366, #2186)
 - Examples: Allegro: Added support for touch events (emulating mouse). (#2219) [@dos1]
+- Examples: DirectX9: Minor changes to match the other DirectX examples more closely. (#2394)
