@@ -55,6 +55,7 @@ Breaking Changes:
 Other Changes:
 
 - Tab Bar: Made it possible to append to an existing tab bar by calling BeginTabBar()/EndTabBar() again.
+- Tab Bar: Fixed using more than 128 tabs in a tab bar (scrolling policy recommended).
 - Drag and Drop: Fix drag and drop to tie same-size drop targets by choosen the later one. Fixes dragging
   into a full-window-sized dockspace inside a zero-padded window. (#3519, #2717) [@Black-Cat]
 - Backends: OpenGL: use glGetString(GL_VERSION) query instead of glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION, ...)
