@@ -50,6 +50,7 @@ Other Changes:
 - Tabs: Added ImGuiTabBarFlags_TabListPopupButton flag to show a popup button on manual tab bars. (#261, #351)
 - Tabs: Removed ImGuiTabBarFlags_NoTabListPopupButton which was available in 1.67 but actually had zero use.
 - Tabs: Fixed a minor clipping glitch when changing style's FramePadding from frame to frame.
+- Tabs: Fixed border (when enabled) so it is aligned correctly mid-pixel and appears as bright as other borders.
 - Menus: Tweaked horizontal overlap between parent and child menu (to help convey relative depth)
   from using style.ItemSpacing.x to style.ItemInnerSpacing.x, the later being expected to be smaller. (#1086)
 - RadioButton: Fixed label horizontal alignment to precisely match Checkbox().
