 // CHANGELOG
 // (minor and older changes stripped away, please see git history for details)
+//  2019-12-17: Inputs: Use SDL_GetMouseState, because there is no global mouse state on Wayland.
 //  2019-12-05: Inputs: Added support for ImGuiMouseCursor_NotAllowed mouse cursor.
 //  2019-07-21: Inputs: Added mapping for ImGuiKey_KeyPadEnter.
 //  2019-04-23: Inputs: Added support for SDL_GameController (if ImGuiConfigFlags_NavEnableGamepad is set by user application).
