 # Unreleased
 
+- **Breaking:** Removed unnecessary generic parameter `T` from `EventLoopWindowTarget`.
 - On Wayland, fix resize not issued when scale changes
 - On X11 and Wayland, fix arrow up on keypad reported as `ArrowLeft`.
 - On Windows, macOS, X11, Wayland and Web, implement setting images as cursors. See the `custom_cursors.rs` example.
