 // CHANGELOG
 // (minor and older changes stripped away, please see git history for details)
+//  2023-02-07: Implement IME handler (io.SetPlatformImeDataFn will call SDL_SetTextInputRect()/SDL_StartTextInput()).
 //  2023-02-07: *BREAKING CHANGE* Renamed this backend file from imgui_impl_sdl.cpp/.h to imgui_impl_sdl2.cpp/.h in prevision for the future release of SDL3.
 //  2023-02-02: Avoid calling SDL_SetCursor() when cursor has not changed, as the function is surprisingly costly on Mac with latest SDL (may be fixed in next SDL version).
 //  2023-02-02: Added support for SDL 2.0.18+ preciseX/preciseY mouse wheel data for smooth scrolling + Scaling X value on Emscripten (bug?). (#4019, #6096)
