+- On Wayland, fix bug where the cursor wouldn't hide in GNOME.
 - On macOS, Windows, and Wayland, add `set_cursor_hittest` to let the window ignore mouse events.
 - On Windows, added `WindowExtWindows::set_skip_taskbar` and `WindowBuilderExtWindows::with_skip_taskbar`.
 - On Windows, added `EventLoopBuilderExtWindows::with_msg_hook`.
