 - Misc: ImVec2: added [] operator. This is becoming desirable for some code working of either axes independently. Better adding it sooner than later.
 - Misc: NewFrame(): Added an assert to detect incorrect filling of the io.KeyMap[] array earlier. (#1555)
 - Misc: Added IM_OFFSETOF() helper in imgui.h (previously was in imgui_internal.h)
+- Misc: Added IM_NEW(), IM_DELETE() helpers in imgui.h (previously were in imgui_internal.h)
 - Misc: Added obsolete redirection function GetItemsLineHeightWithSpacing() (which redirects to GetFrameHeightWithSpacing()), as intended and stated in docs of 1.53.
 - Misc: Added misc/natvis/imgui.natvis for visual studio debugger users to easily visualize imgui internal types. Added to examples projects.
 - Misc: Added IMGUI_USER_CONFIG to define a custom configuration filename. (#255, #1573, #1144, #41)

  Here is a change-log of API breaking changes, if you are using one of the functions listed, expect to have to fix some code.
  Also read releases logs https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/releases for more details.
 
+ - 2018/04/09 (1.61) - IM_DELETE() helper function added in 1.60 doesn't clear the input _pointer_ reference, more consistent with expectation and allows passing r-value.
  - 2018/03/20 (1.60) - Renamed io.WantMoveMouse to io.WantSetMousePos for consistency and ease of understanding (was added in 1.52, _not_ used by core and only honored by some binding ahead of merging the Nav branch).
  - 2018/03/12 (1.60) - Removed ImGuiCol_CloseButton, ImGuiCol_CloseButtonActive, ImGuiCol_CloseButtonHovered as the closing cross uses regular button colors now.
  - 2018/03/08 (1.60) - Changed ImFont::DisplayOffset.y to default to 0 instead of +1. Fixed rounding of Ascent/Descent to match TrueType renderer. If you were adding or subtracting to ImFont::DisplayOffset check if your fonts are correctly aligned vertically.
