 --------------------------
 Changes in 1.9 (not yet released)
 
+- Add ICursorControl::getReferenceRect
 - Fix: Listbox no longer sending EGET_LISTBOX_SELECTED_AGAIN instead of EGET_LISTBOX_CHANGED when pressed mouse was moved over item before releasing the mouse button
 - Listbox items can now change individual background colors
 - Fix some bitfield sizes in SMaterial which were chosen too small for enums (PolygonOffsetDirection, ZWriteEnable, BlendOperation)
