 // CHANGELOG
 // (minor and older changes stripped away, please see git history for details)
+//  2024-02-12: DirectX9: Using RGBA format when supported by the driver to avoid CPU side conversion. (#6575)
 //  2022-10-11: Using 'nullptr' instead of 'NULL' as per our switch to C++11.
 //  2021-06-29: Reorganized backend to pull data from a single structure to facilitate usage with multiple-contexts (all g_XXXX access changed to bd->XXXX).
 //  2021-06-25: DirectX9: Explicitly disable texture state stages after >= 1.
