 // CHANGELOG
 // (minor and older changes stripped away, please see git history for details)
+//  2024-01-03: Vulkan: Added MinAllocationSize field in ImGui_ImplVulkan_InitInfo to workaround zealous "best practice" validation layer. (#7189, #4238)
 //  2023-11-29: Vulkan: Fixed mismatching allocator passed to vkCreateCommandPool() vs vkDestroyCommandPool(). (#7075)
 //  2023-11-10: *BREAKING CHANGE*: Removed parameter from ImGui_ImplVulkan_CreateFontsTexture(): backend now creates its own command-buffer to upload fonts.
 //              *BREAKING CHANGE*: Removed ImGui_ImplVulkan_DestroyFontUploadObjects() which is now unecessary as we create and destroy those objects in the backend.
