@@ -42,6 +42,9 @@ HOW TO UPDATE?
   inside a collapsed/culled window and IMGUI_DISABLE_OBSOLETE_FUNCTIONS is enabled. (#5548, #5911)
 - ColorEdit: fixed label overlapping when using style.ColorButtonPosition == ImGuiDir_Left to
   move the color button on the left side (regression introduced in 1.88 WIP 2022/02/28). (#5912)
+- Drag and Drop: fixed GetDragDropPayload() returning a non-NULL value if a drag source is
+  active but a payload hasn't been submitted yet. This is convenient to detect new payload
+  from within a drag source handler. (#5910, #143)
 - Backends: GLFW: cancel out errors emitted by glfwGetKeyName() when a name is missing. (#5908)
