- Version 2.0.3
* Reduce the number of writes to VDU NVRAM by sliders, spinners, and ambient brightness adjustments.
* Slider and spin-box controls now only update the VDU when adjustments become slow or stop (when
the control value remains constant for 0.5 seconds).
* Spin-Boxes now select the entire text on focus in (enables easier overtyping and decreases VDU updates).
* Ambient lighting initiated changes in brightness of up to 20% are applied without any transitional
steps (plus the existing code ignores updates of less than 10%).
* Set the default ambient-light brightness adjustment-interval to 5 minutes.
* React to DPMS awake signal from ddcutil-service by re-assessing ambient brightness.
* Simplified locking and conformed to a locking hierarchy/protocol to avoid potential deadlocks.

* Added a *refresh* annotation suffix for use with VCP-codes which cause multiple changes.
* Make manual adjustment of the ambient Light Level more accurate and responsive.
* Updates are sent to the VDU as sliders are dragged (rather than only on release).
* Fix exception on monitors that return invalid/unexpected combo-box VCP values.
* Fix exception on monitors with blank VCP value descriptions.
* When refresh is pressed, only auto adjust ambient brightness if auto-brightness is enabled.
* Don't automatically refresh on error, eliminate popup dialog loops.
* Eliminate deadlocks when exceptions occur.
