What's Changed

The main highlights are:

• Rounded floating windows;
• Users now have the option to choose the mouse cursor icon;
• Apple code signing and notarization to bolster security and user trust;
• Added default support to Metal rendering for macOS users as a first class citizen having OpenGL optional still. The performance and smoothness took a noticeable improvement due to the seamless integration on Apples specific hardware and it's a quite impactful merge;
