The project already did back in August. Under the default build options, it's not a new dependency for the client. It is now only additionally being used in the client's X11 displayserver component but it's not a new dependency.
Unless you've manually made changes to the PKGBUILD to change the build options to exclude anything and everything libxkbcommon, nothing changed.
Sorry, my bad. The project just added this dependency officially so I just passed along the message. I should have looked at PKGBUILD
@NetBoy3: It already has since August last year.
Now depends on libxkbcommon
Now depends on libpulse and libpipewire-03.so
Package fails to build. I was told by looking-glass maintainers that in-source builds are not supported and that may be a reason.

You are correct. My bad.
@Netboy3; I'm not pulling/building against master submodules or otherwise diverting those definitions to commits not specified by upstream. Each git repo defines the submodule version/commit being used. That means (at the time of writing) for looking-glass it's using cimgui@83f729b (a.k.a. cimgui 1.82), which in turn uses imgui@64aab84 (1.82 + 2 extra). This isn't functioning any differently from the submodules it had already; PureSpice and LGMP.
Thx for adding the new cimgui/imgui dependency. Only thing you should consider is that the devs are currently building against version 1.82 of cimgui/imgui and you are pulling cimgui master which seems to be quite active and might cause LG builds to break or be inconsistent with the way the LG devs use it.
