 ### Support for non-square tiles
 
-The return value of ´ol.tilegrid.TileGrid#getTileSize()` will now be an `ol.Size` array instead of a number if non-square tiles (i.e. an `ol.Size` array instead of a number as `tilsSize`) are used. To always get an `ol.Size`, the new `ol.size.toSize()` was added.

+### Change to `ol.interaction.Draw`
+
+When finishing a draw, the `drawend` event is now dispatched before the feature is inserted to either the source or the collection. This change allows application code to finish setting up the feature.
 
 ### v3.4.0
