Changelog:

Fixed an issue with mouse jitter induced when using NvFBC
Fixed a mouse warp bug under Wayland
Documentation improvements

B4-rc3

Fixed an issue where cursor shape corruption could occur on rapid shape changes.
Fixed an issue with NvFBC that could cause frame tearing.
Adjusted the host application to print out device information earlier to aid in debugging.
Minor optimization to NvFBC change detection logic.
Don't terminate the host if NvFBC flags protected content, instead wait until capture is available again.

B4-rc2

Added coloring to the client's terminal output for warnings/errors, etc.
default minimizeOnFocusLoss to off
Stopped the windows event code from generating false events.
Improved the windows event handling reducing CPU usage considerably.
Improved NvFBC performance by boosting the kernel thread priority as is done for DXGI.
Documentation improvements.

B4-rc1

SDL has been deprecated and is no longer needed to build the client
Help overlay for EGL when the escapeKey is held
Allow FPS display to be toggled at runtime with escapeKey+D
added win:autoScreensaver which automatically disables screensaver when requested by applications in the guest
VM->Host DMABUF support - https://looking-glass.io/docs/stable/module/#vm-host
asynchronous Wayland clipboard transfers
Release all keys when the client loses focus and prevent stuck keys when navigating away with window manager shortcuts. The old behavior can be restored with input:releaseKeysOnFocusLoss=no
Wayland feature parity with X11, scaling support, and improved compatibility
add an option to build with libdecor (-DENABLE_LIBDECOR=ON) for showing window decoration on GNOME Wayland
open log from taskbar notification icon is re-added with better security
improve cursor interactions with overlapping windows
documentation is now generated using sphynx and is now available as part of the CI builds on the website.
Fixed issue with large clipboard transfers failing
DXGI is now the default capture interface, NvFBC is still available but must be selected via the host configuration file.
DXGI CPU usage improved with smarter sleep timing in the frame thread
Fix issue with parsing configuration files saved in UTF8 format (Windows)
Client framebuffer copy performance improvements
EGL fixed issue with textures getting overwritten during drawing
OpenGL flickering issue fixed when not using a compositor
Old/incorrect cursor shape on initial client connection fixed.
