             High-performance GPU hardware screen recorder and instant replay overlay for Linux and Windows.
 
-            ### What's New in v0.2.2
-            - **Windows Overlay Transparency**: Fixed DWM opacity issue where the overlay showed an opaque black screen instead of a translucent frosted background.
-            - **Windows Global Hotkeys**: Added dedicated Win32 message pump so global hotkeys (`Alt+Z`, `Ctrl+Shift+R`, etc.) register and trigger reliably across all Windows applications and games.
-            - **Dynamic Hotkey Reloading**: Changes to hotkey bindings in Settings take effect immediately in the background without needing a restart.
-            - **Fixed Notification Duplication & Hang**: Eliminated duplicate in-HUD toast instances and fixed toast freeze issues by ensuring isolated processes with auto-closing watchdog timers.
-            - **Working Folder Options**: Fixed 'Open' and 'Change' folder dialogs on Windows with top-most STA PowerShell picker and visible Explorer launching.
-            - **Zero-Latency UI Buttons & Key Recording**: All daemon communication from UI buttons is now asynchronous, and key listening repaints with 0ms delay.
-            - **Reduced Windows Installer Size**: Enabled Solid LZMA compression in NSIS and stripped symbols from Windows binaries and DLLs.
-
