  Occasionally introducing changes that are breaking the API. The breakage are generally minor and easy to fix.
  Here is a change-log of API breaking changes, if you are using one of the functions listed, expect to have to fix some code.
 
- - 2015/01/08 (1.30) XXXXXXXX
+ - 2015/01/11 (1.30) big font/image API change. now loads TTF file. allow for multiple fonts. no need for a PNG loader.
+                     removed GetDefaultFontData(). uses io.Font->GetTextureData*() API to retrieve uncompressed pixels.
+                     added texture identifier in ImDrawCmd passed to your render function.
  - 2014/12/10 (1.18) removed SetNewWindowDefaultPos() in favor of new generic API SetNextWindowPos(pos, ImGuiSetCondition_FirstUseEver)
  - 2014/11/28 (1.17) moved IO.Font*** options to inside the IO.Font-> structure.
  - 2014/11/26 (1.17) reworked syntax of IMGUI_ONCE_UPON_A_FRAME helper macro to increase compiler compatibility
