 * Added linked axis support for plots via `plot::LinkedAxisGroup` ([#1184](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/1184)).
 * Added `Response::on_hover_text_at_pointer` as a convenience akin to `Response::on_hover_text` ([1179](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/1179)).
 * Added `ui.weak(text)`.
+* Added `Context::move_to_top` and `Context::top_most_layer` for managing the layer on the top ([#1242](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/1242)).
 
 ### Changed 🔧
 * ⚠️ `Context::input` and `Ui::input` now locks a mutex. This can lead to a dead-lock is used in an `if let` binding!
