@@ -22,6 +22,7 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/).
 * `Response::active` is now gone. You can use `response.dragged()` or `response.clicked()` instead.
 * Backend: pointer (mouse/touch) position and buttons are now passed to egui in the event stream.
 * `DragValue::range` is now called `clamp_range` and also clamps incoming values.
+* Renamed `Triangles` to `Mesh`.
 
 ### Fixed 🐛
