* Photo mode now calls special texture copy on PS4 to deal with gamma issue. WMD-5149 WMD-5090
* Fix WMD-4129 - XB1/PS4 - UI - Online - Changes made under weather in Lobby do not reflect on the Weather Tile
* PS4: Fixed potential crash on jpeg encoder. Added variable compression ratio to stop it returning 'internal data error' all the time. Added gamma correction texture copy as 1010102 don't convert properly in hardware. Fixed rgb encoding order. WMD-5149 WMD-5090
Dedicated Server (WIP):
* Fixed DS list logging flags in wrong order.
* Rebuilt Linux executable with latest code and protocol version.
* Fixed dedicated server browsing to skip DS with mismatching protocol version.
* WMD-4772: Implemented peer rebroadcasting, used when the online platform can't establish full peer-to-peer connectivity mesh:
* Updated ping stat structures to maintain recent packet loss in addition to total packet loss. Recent packet loss is used in most places instead of total. Improved ping stats collection to ignore ping probes belonging to older ping batches.
* The Sabre networking layer now monitors all connections and if connectivity to another session member can't be established or fails, it tries to find another member to use as the rebroadcast peer.
* The rebroadcast peer must report direct connectivity to both sender and recipient members as working, if the peer ever leaves or reports issues another candidate will be picked.
* Modified recipient structures to also contain information about rebroadcast peers to use.
* Modified Steam/XB1/PS4 p2p networking protocol to support rebroadcasting via intermediate peers, using the above infromatio to decide what to send where.
* Protocols using dedicated servers ignore peer rebroadcasting information since they rebroadcast through the dedicated server anyway.
* Bumped protocol version to 43.
Render:

* Fix for Driver Network 'Races Entered' total including 1st Places and Podiums, only Podiums should be included because 1st Places are also Podiums (WMD-5005).
* Trophy icon read initially from per-Championship data then falling back to original per-Motorsport data, so invitations and interim series can use alternative icons. WMD-4974
* WMD-5096 Fixing "No I In Team" achievement - implemented career differentiating tests between team & career championships. Added test to 3 career achievements to ensure they only test against the 'final' championship for that career.
Controllers:
* WMD-3050 : On returning from constrained mode restart the FFB equations to enable FFB again. Added a minimum center spring strength to tweak XB1 force.

* RUF CTR3: New damper package based off the latest RGT8 dmaper ratios. Feels more correct for this car.
* BAC Mono - Physics Ver 3.1 - equalized the front vs rear tire heat. The rears were behind the front even when the setup was neutral or oversteering. Helps plant the rear a bit better as the tires are warming up. Reduced the rear brake bias. Set splidle arm angle to 17. Added a new Khumo "Supersoft" tire. It's about 3-4 seconds a lap faster than defualt Prime tire.
