Starting with v1.92.0, version numbers are now synced between "Dear ImGui", "Hello ImGui" and "Dear ImGui Bundle"

ImGui

Use ImGui v1.92.0: Scaling fonts & many more (big release)

This is a big release for ImGui.

TLDR: Fonts may be rendered at any size. Glyphs are loaded and rasterized dynamically. No need to specify ranges, prebake etc. GetTexDataAsRGBA32() is now obsolete.

• Many Font related changes: this release brings many changes on the ImGui side : do read the ImGui release notes

Python bindings

• Potentially breaking change for extern pure Python backends: font_atlas_get_tex_data_as_rgba32 was removed (read the advice below)
• Font-related changes, following ImGui v1.92.0

• Fix ImPlot stubs (thanks @tlambert03)
• Fix imgui_ctx and imgui_node_ctx
• pure python backends: split opengl implems, implement texture update in python pure opengl backends
• imgui bindings => publish texture related infos

Advice for extern pure Python Backends (wgpu, etc.)

Since v1.92, font_atlas_get_tex_data_as_rgba32 was removed. Backends will need to be adapted by implementing support for dynamic fonts (preferred)

Extract from ImGui doc:

ImGui Version 1.92.0 (June 2025), added texture support in Rendering Backends, which is the backbone for supporting dynamic font scaling among other things. In order to move forward and take advantage of all new features, support for ImGuiBackendFlags_RendererHasTextures will likely be REQUIRED for all backends before June 2026.

• Read ImGui backend doc: flag ImGuiBackendFlags_RendererHasTextures (1.92+) (read the part "Rendering: Adding support for ImGuiBackendFlags_RendererHasTextures (1.92+)").
• For inspiration, also look at opengl_base_backend implementation of _update_texture().

Pyodide

• Added support for Pyodide

Contributions

• fix: exclude MkTime from implot_internal stubs by @tlambert03 in #349
• Add imgui_ctx.tree_node_ex (flags are missing in imgui_ctx.tree_node) by @zaicruvoir1rominet in #353
• test: add test to ensure that stub files are valid by @tlambert03 in #351

Full Changelog: 1.6.0...v1.6.1

This release brings a major upgrade with Dear ImGui v1.91.5, a new python binding library (nanobind), various quality-of-life improvements (notably in the node editor), and support for Python 3.13.

Python Bindings

Transition to Nanobind - Nov 2024

We’ve replaced Pybind11 with Nanobind for Python bindings. This change should be seamless for most users. If you encounter any issues, please let us know.

Python 3.13 Support

• Prebuilt binary wheels are now available for Python 3.11, 3.12, and 3.13. (Python 3.10 remains supported, requiring source builds.)

Additional Changes

• glfw_backend: Updated clipboard handling to the new API.
• Key enum bindings: Removed im_gui_ prefix from values.
• Flags enums (e.g., InputTextFlagsPrivate_, TreeNodeFlagsPrivate_): Cleaned up unnecessary prefixes.
• ImFontGlyph: Published methods get_codepoint(), is_visible(), and is_colored().
• imgui_fig: Added support for user-defined Matplotlib renderers.
• Stubbed ImVec2/ImVec4 math operators (fix #267).
• pyglet_backend: Fixed version checks (thanks to @DragonMoffon).
• implot: Resolved issues with setup_axis_links() bindings.
• Optimized startup by deferring PIL and Matplotlib imports.
• Initial steps toward supporting Pyodide.

ImmVision

Breaking Change - October 2024: Explicit Color Order Configuration

You must now explicitly set the color order (RGB or BGR) in your program. Use one of the following before displaying images:

• C++: ImmVision::UseRgbColorOrder() or ImmVision::UseBgrColorOrder()
• Python: immvision.use_rgb_color_order() or immvision.use_bgr_color_order()
• Temporary overrides: ImmVision::PushColorOrderBgr/Rgb() and ImmVision::PopColorOrder().

This ensures clarity regarding color order. Failure to set it will result in an error when attempting to display images.

Additional Notes:

• The IsColorOrderBGR member in ImageParams and the isBgrOrBgra parameter in ImageDisplay have been removed.

• Published GlTexture in the API.
• Prevented zooming when zoom level becomes excessively extreme.

Breaking Change - October 2024: Python Bindings immvision.ImageParams.zoom_pan_matrix

zoom_pan_matrix is published as a Tuple[Tuple[float]]. If you want to set its value, you should use tuples.

This change is due to the transition to nanobind (where cv::Matx33d are now bound to python without shared memory)
ImGui Bundle version 1.6.3 and later will make this easier by also accepting List[List[float]] and numpy arrays (after this commit)

Hello ImGui: Updated to v1.6.0

• SVG Font Rendering: Switched from lunasvg to plutosvg (default: HELLOIMGUI_USE_FREETYPE_PLUTOSVG).
• Added AddDockableWindow and RemoveDockableWindow APIs.
• Enhanced demo_docking to better showcase docking and theme customization.
• Introduced HelloImGui::ManualRender: A namespace with functions for fine-grained rendering control.
• Progressed on Pyodide integration (for ImGui Bundle).
• Improved font rendering for iOS.

Node Editor

Many quality of life improvements: see demo on this page

• Enhanced popup placement and child window handling. See issue #310.
• InputTextMultiline now works within the node editor (opens as a popup for editing).
• Node theme colors now align better with the overall theme.

ImGuiMd

• Added ImGuiMd::GetFont(const MarkdownFontSpec& fontSpec).

ImmApp

• Introduced Immapp::ManualRender: A namespace with functions for fine-grained rendering control.

ImGui

• Updated ImGui to v1.91.5.

Demos

• Docking Demo: Improved layout and theme setup.
• Python Demos: Removed OpenCV dependency; now uses Pillow for image loading.
• Removed outdated demos, including ImGuizmo curve editing (only maintaining 3D Gizmo compatibility).

Python bindings

• Added initial support for full python backends:
  • see bindings/imgui_bundle/python_backends
  • see #142
  • see full example with glfw3 + OpenGL3: bindings/imgui_bundle/python_backends/examples/example_python_backend_glfw3.py
  • Note: ImmApp and Hello ImGui provide advanced support for anti-aliased fonts and HighDPI. This is not provided by python backends: you will have to implement it yourself
• Improved ImGui bindings: added bindings for ImDrawData and ImDrawList arrays
  (see #142)

CMake

• hello_imgui_add_app and imgui_bundle.add_app can now accept ASSETS_LOCATION as a parameter e.g. hello_imgui_add_app(my_app file1.cpp file2.cpp ASSETS_LOCATION my_assets)
