 - Misc: Debuggers: added type formatters for the LLDB debuggers (e.g. Xcode,
   Android Studio & more) to provide nicer display for ImVec2, ImVec4, ImVector etc.
   See misc/debuggers/ for details. (#8950) [@mentlerd]

+- Textures: fixed a crash if texture status is set to _WantDestroy by a backend after
   it had already been destroyed. This would typically happen when calling backend's
   ImGui_ImplXXXX_InvalidateDeviceObjects() helpers twice in a row. (#8977, #8811)
+- Textures: allowed backend to destroy texture while inside the NewFrame/EndFrame
+  scope. Basically if a backend decide to destroy a texture that we didn't request
+  to destroy (for e.g. freeing resources) the texture is immediately set to
+  a _WantCreate status again. (#8811)
 - Textures: fixed an issue preventing multi-contexts sharing a ImFontAtlas from
   being possible to destroy in any order.
 - Textures: fixed not updating ImTextureData's RefCount when destroying a context
