- Added support for more joypads: Nintendo Joypad, DualSense with working gyro, acceleration, touchpad, LED and rumble
- Split the project in re-usable libraries: 
  - [inputtino](https://github.com/games-on-whales/inputtino): virtual input library, and merged into [Sunshine via PR-2606](https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/pull/2606)
  - [gst-wayland-display](https://github.com/games-on-whales/gst-wayland-display): A micro Wayland compositor that can be used as a Gstreamer plugin
