+//  2025-07-15: OpenGL: Set GL_UNPACK_ALIGNMENT to 1 before updating textures. (#8802)
 //  2025-06-11: OpenGL: Added support for ImGuiBackendFlags_RendererHasTextures, for dynamic font atlas. Removed ImGui_ImplOpenGL2_CreateFontsTexture() and ImGui_ImplOpenGL2_DestroyFontsTexture().
 //  2024-10-07: OpenGL: Changed default texture sampler to Clamp instead of Repeat/Wrap.
 //  2024-06-28: OpenGL: ImGui_ImplOpenGL2_NewFrame() recreates font texture if it has been destroyed by ImGui_ImplOpenGL2_DestroyFontsTexture(). (#7748)
