What's new in 0.0.20
Fixed - Blank Webview on Linux. Replaced the --in-process-gpu Chromium flag with SwiftShader software rendering (--use-gl=angle --use-angle=swiftshader). The in-process GPU flag broke <webview> guest compositing entirely, leaving connection views blank on all Linux configurations. SwiftShader keeps the GPU process out-of-process (required for webview compositing) while avoiding driver-level crashes (#178).
