@@ -41,6 +41,9 @@ Other Changes:
 - Misc: Added ImGuiMouseCursor_NotAllowed enum so it can be used by more shared widgets. [@rokups]
 - Backends: GLFW, SDL, Win32, OSX, Allegro: Added support for ImGuiMouseCursor_NotAllowed. [@rokups]
 - Backends: GLFW: Added support for the missing mouse cursors newly added in GLFW 3.4+. [@rokups]
+- Examples: Explicitly adding -DIMGUI_IMPL_OPENGL_LOADER_GL3W to Makefile to match linking
+  settings (otherwise if another loader such as Glew is accessible, the opengl3 backend might
+  automatically use it). [#2919, #2798]
 - Examples: Metal: Wrapped main loop in @autoreleasepool block to ensure allocations get freed
   even if underlying system event loop gets paused due to app nap (#2910, #2917). [@bear24rw]
