---------
New in these ISOs:

waylandloginmanager now sets the TTYs of sessions that crash to VT_AUTO to prevent that TTY from being unswitchable
waylandloginmanager now detects the current session (in the case the session was manually switched to with chvt or CTRL+ALT+F(0-12)
waylandloginmanager now tries to improve the appearence when switching to a new session, before the display server starts. The TTY text is cleared, and the flashing cursor is disabled on the new TTYs
    Also, waylandloginmanager no longer hides the plymouth splash itself, to reduce flicker when starting loginmanagerdisplay
Power usage of the waylandloginmanager has been improved, with longer pauses, and does not call any child processes (no more calling /bin/sleep) during idle operation.
Hawaii has been replaced by Sway. (the successor to Hawaii)
More of the gnome stack is compiled now in /opt, instead of relying on the 1st tier packages
GTK 4 is availible, in a very limited way for now. (nothing is yet *using* GTK 4, except the gtk4-demo)
A utility has been created to easily remaster the ISOs with non-free firmware if you need to
The test_RBOS_ISO.sh script now no longer executes graphical programs as root
Vulkan is now added
Mesa now has the swr drivers built
waylandloginmanager now attempts to lock the current session with logind when properly switching sessions with it
waylandloginmanager now handles switching to the loginmanagerdisplay after a session fails to fast after starting much more robustly
waylandloginmanager is quieter on tty63. tty63 is used for displaying failure messages

---------
Usage:

There is no password for the Live Session User (beccaholic), while auto login is enabled when starting as a live CD, if you get prompted for a password when starting a second login session, the password field is blank

If you choose to install, the live session user does not get added, and instead the login becomes the default username and password that is configured at the installation wizard

---------
Problems and Notes:
  
   Due to a swrast mesa bug, if you're using 64 bit, and the installer fails to run, you might need to force boot the ISO to use software rendering, from the boot menu to force it to use softpipe instead of swrast
