Release Notes - SDK 1.10.11

Maintenance release containing assorted bug fixes and minor improvements.

Note: The macOS download link was updated on 2022-01-22 to include a fix for macOS Monterrey: the update disables access to keyboards and mice via the InputDeviceManager (base.devices) by default to prevent a permission warning being displayed to the user. To re-enable this access, set iokit-scan-keyboard-devices and iokit-scan-mouse-devices to true in Config.prc.
