 - Added a mechanism to compact/free the larger allocations of unused windows (buffers are compacted when
   a window is unused for 60 seconds, as per io.ConfigWindowsMemoryCompactTimer = 60.0f). Note that memory
   usage has never been reported as a problem, so this is merely a touch of overzealous luxury. (#2636)
+- Backends: OpenGL3: Tweaked initialization code allow application calling ImGui_ImplOpenGL3_CreateFontsTexture()
+  before ImGui_ImplOpenGL3_NewFrame() if for some reason they wanted.
 - Backends: DX11: Fixed GSGetShader() call not passing an initialized instance count,
   would generally make the debug layer complain (Added in 1.72).
 - Backends: Vulkan: Added support for specifying multisample count.
