* HTML5 client fixes: for keyboard (IE), audio, fullscreen switch
* socket fixes: SSL upgrades and hostname verification, OpenSSH tunnels, etc
* proxy: instance zombies, shutdown, control packet errors
* MS Windows: resource leak, missing notifications, keyboard issues
* build or packaging fixes: Fedora 33, archlinux, Debian Bullseye,
Ubuntu Groovy
