 # Unreleased
 
+- On Wayland, don't reapply cursor grab when unchanged.
 - Move `dpi` types to its own crate, and re-export it from the root crate.
 - Implement `Sync` for `EventLoopProxy<T: Send>`.
 - **Breaking:** Move `Window::new` to `ActiveEventLoop::create_window` and `EventLoop::create_window` (with the latter being deprecated).
