 - Style: renamed rarely used style.CircleSegmentMaxError (old default = 1.60f)
   to style.CircleTessellationMaxError (new default = 0.30f) as its meaning changed. (#3808) [@thedmd]
+- Win32+MinGW: Re-enabled IME functions by default even under MinGW. In July 2016, issue #738 had me incorrectly
+  disable those default functions for MinGW. MinGW users should: either link with -limm32, either set their
+  imconfig file with '#define IMGUI_DISABLE_WIN32_DEFAULT_IME_FUNCTIONS'. (#2590, #738) [@actboy168]
 - Backends: Win32: Pragma linking with dwmapi.lib (Vista-era, ~9 kb). MinGW users will need to link with -ldwmapi.
