• Fixed a bug that prevented some cursor image updates from taking effect on displays with rotation or other transformations applied.
• Fixed cursor alpha blending artifacts on displays with rotation or other transformations applied.

• Improved the performance of glDrawPixels() by up to 450% when the pixel data is of type GL_BYTE.
