@@ -61,6 +61,7 @@ Other Changes:
 - Examples: Vulkan: Avoid passing negative coordinates to vkCmdSetScissor, which debug validation layers do not like.
 - Examples: Vulkan: Added ImGui_ImplVulkan_SetMinImageCount() to change min image count at runtime. (#2071) [@nathanvoglsam]
 - Examples: DirectX9: Fixed erroneous assert in ImGui_ImplDX9_InvalidateDeviceObjects(). (#2454)
+- Examples: DirectX10/11/12, Allegro, Marmalade: Render functions early out when display size is zero (minimized). (#2496)
 - Examples: GLUT: Fixed existing FreeGLUT example to work with regular GLUT. (#2465) [@andrewwillmott]
 - Examples: GLUT: Renamed imgui_impl_freeglut.cpp/.h to imgui_impl_glut.cpp/.h. (#2465) [@andrewwillmott]
 - Examples: GLUT: Made io.DeltaTime always > 0. (#2430)
