v6.1.0-vrr7: Lower Latency VRR Streaming (Beta)

This build improves VRR (FreeSync / G-Sync / Adaptive-Sync) game streaming.

What's New

• Smoother Windows VRR pacing. Moonlight does a better job keeping frames aligned with your display, especially when the stream is close to the display's refresh ceiling.
• Lower latency on stable streams. Frame pacing avoids holding extra buffering when your connection and PC are already keeping up.
• Better recovery from hiccups. Short network, decoder, or GPU stalls should recover more cleanly with fewer timing spikes afterward.
• Updated streaming core. This build includes the latest Moonlight common streaming updates used by the VRR beta line.

Note for existing users: After updating, open Settings and enable Enable VRR if you want to use VRR. It is off by default in this beta release.
