 //   Calling the function is MANDATORY, otherwise the ImGui will not upload neither the vertex nor the index buffer for the GPU. See imgui_impl_sdlgpu3.cpp for more info.
 
 // CHANGELOG
+//  2025-06-25: Mapping transfer buffer for texture update use cycle=true. Fixes artifacts e.g. on Metal backend.
 //  2025-06-11: Added support for ImGuiBackendFlags_RendererHasTextures, for dynamic font atlas. Removed ImGui_ImplSDLGPU3_CreateFontsTexture() and ImGui_ImplSDLGPU3_DestroyFontsTexture().
 //  2025-04-28: Added support for special ImDrawCallback_ResetRenderState callback to reset render state.
 //  2025-03-30: Made ImGui_ImplSDLGPU3_PrepareDrawData() reuse GPU Transfer Buffers which were unusually slow to recreate every frame. Much faster now.
