-Dear ImGui Changelog

Renamed ImGui:captureMouseFromApp() and ImGui:captureKeyboardFromApp() to ImGui:setNextFrameWantCaptureMouse() and ImGui:setNextFrameWantCaptureKeyboard()
Renamed ImGui:pushAllowKeyboardFocus()/ImGui:popAllowKeyboardFocus() to ImGui:pushTabStop()/ImGui:popTabStop()
Added IO:setAppAcceptingEvents([accepting_events = true])
Added ImGui.HoveredFlags_NoNavOverride flag to ImGui:isItemHovered(flags) & ImGui:isWindowHovered(flags)
Added ImGui:setNextWindowScroll(x, y)
Added ImGui.InputTextFlags_EscapeClearsAll flag for "inputText" widget (first press on Escape clears text if any, second press deactivate the InputText())
Added "isItemHovered" flags: ImGui.HoveredFlags_DelayNormal & ImGui.HoveredFlags_DelayShort, allowing to introduce a shared delay for tooltip idioms
Added "isItemHovered" flag: ImGui.HoveredFlags_NoSharedDelay to disable sharing delays between items, so moving from one item to a nearby one will requires delay to elapse again
Added ImGui:getItemID() It is not often expected that you would use this, but it is useful for ImGui:shortcut() and upcoming owner-aware input functions which wants to be implemented with public API
Added ImGui:shortcut(keyChord [, owner_id = 0, ImGuiInputFlags = 0]) (keyChord: an ImGuiKey optionally OR-ed with one or more ImGuiMod_XXX values (ImGuiKey | ImGuiMod_XXX))
Added ImGui:setShortcutRouting(keyChord [, owner_id = 0, ImGuiInputFlags = 0]) (disable CTRL + TAB combo: ImGui:setShortcutRouting(ImGui.Mod_Ctrl | ImGui.Key_Tab, ImGui.KeyOwner_None))
Added mouse key aliases: ImGui.Key_MouseLeft, ImGui.Key_MouseRight, ImGui.Key_MouseMiddle, ImGui.Key_MouseX1, ImGui.Key_MouseX2, ImGui.Key_MouseWheelX, ImGui.Key_MouseWheelY
Added ImGui.ItemFlags_NoTabStop to use with ImGui:pushItemFlag(flag, bool)
Added ImGui:setItemKeyOwner(keyCode [, ImGuiInputFlags = 0])
Added ImGui:setKeyOwner(keyCode, owner_id, [, ImGuiInputFlags = 0])
Added new widget ImGui:separatorText(label)
Added new styles:
- Style:setSeparatorTextBorderSize(number)
- number = Style:getSeparatorTextBorderSize()
- Style:setSeparatorTextAlign(x, y)
- x, y = Style:getSeparatorTextAlign()
- Style:setSeparatorTextPadding(x, y)
- x, y = Style:getSeparatorTextPadding()
Enums for push/popStyle: ImGui.StyleVar_SeparatorTextBorderSize, ImGui.StyleVar_SeparatorTextAlign, ImGui.StyleVar_SeparatorTextPadding to use with ImGui:pushStyleVar()
Added hold gesture (touch only) to trigger right mouse button. Off by default, to enable/disable use:
- ImGui:setTouchGesturesEnabled(bool)
- bool = ImGui:isTouchGesturesEnabled()
Changed ImGui:imageButton(texture, w, h [, padding = -1, tint_color = 0xffffff, tint_alpha = 1, border_color = 0xffffff, border_alpha = 0]) to ImGui:imageButton(str_id, texture, w, h [, tint_color = 0xffffff, tint_alpha = 1, border_color = 0xffffff, border_alpha = 0])
Removed ImGui:openPopupContextItem()
