About this version

This update contains various enhancements and important bug fixes.

As a major new feature, display groups now have layout protection. Layout protections lets you define the position of a display relative to an other display (multiple displays can be chained up). Instead of using fixed coordinates, displays are lined up at anchor points which makes it possible for the arrangement to adapt even when resolutions change or new displays are added and removed. The feature works best with UI scale matching enabled - this way you can line up your displays in a way that the mouse and windows seamlessly and naturally move among multiple displays.
