 - Word-wrapping: Fixed overzealous word-wrapping when glyph edge lands exactly on the limit. Because
   of this, auto-fitting exactly unwrapped text would make it wrap. (fixes initial 1.15 commit, 78645a7d).
 - ImDrawList: Fixed CloneOutput() helper crashing. (#1860) [@gviot]
-- ImDrawListSlitter, ImDrawList::ChannelsSplit(), : Fixed an issue with merging draw commands between
+- ImDrawList::ChannelsSplit(), ImDrawListSplitter: Fixed an issue with merging draw commands between
   channel 0 and 1. (#2624)
+- ImDrawListSplitter: Fixed memory leak when using low-level split api (was not affecting ImDrawList api,
+  also this type was added in 1.71 and not advertised as a public-facing feature).
 - Backends: SDL2: Added dummy ImGui_ImplSDL2_InitForD3D() function to make D3D support more visible.
