 // CHANGELOG
 // (minor and older changes stripped away, please see git history for details)
+//  2024-07-31: Added ImGui_ImplGlfw_Sleep() helper function for usage by our examples app, since GLFW doesn't provide one.
 //  2024-07-08: *BREAKING* Renamed ImGui_ImplGlfw_InstallEmscriptenCanvasResizeCallback to ImGui_ImplGlfw_InstallEmscriptenCallbacks(), added GLFWWindow* parameter.
 //  2024-07-08: Emscripten: Added support for GLFW3 contrib port (GLFW 3.4.0 features + bug fixes): to enable, replace -sUSE_GLFW=3 with --use-port=contrib.glfw3 (requires emscripten 3.1.59+) (https://github.com/pongasoft/emscripten-glfw)
 //  2024-07-02: Emscripten: Added io.PlatformOpenInShellFn() handler for Emscripten versions.
