Most important enhancements
===========================
python -m Browser.entry does not anymore work (`#3100`_)
--------------------------------------------------------
Which broke docker image creation and supported entry point.

Remove forced usage --with-deps option from init (`#3105`_)
-----------------------------------------------------------
--with-deps was added because Playwright changed the installation procedure and library
added the --with-deps option on every installation. This did broke Linux installations outside
the supported Ubuntu distribution. Now --with-deps can be used as opt in way with `rfbrowser init`
command.
