 ## Unreleased
 
 ### Added ⭐
+* Added `Plot::allow_scroll`, `Plot::allow_zoom` no longer affects scrolling ([#1382](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/1382)).
 * Added `Shape::Callback` for backend-specific painting ([#1351](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/1351)).
 * Added `Frame::canvas` ([#1362](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/1362)).
 * `Context::request_repaint` will wake up UI thread, if integrations has called `Context::set_request_repaint_callback` ([#1366](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/1366)).
