- Corrected lint warnings and tests.
- Do not use internal types in
argtypesforwin32functions; this renders them uncallable for other code running in the same runtime. - Include scan codes in events on Windows. Thanks to bhudax!

CGEventKeyboardGetUnicodeString. - Corrected deprecation warnings about
Enumusage on Python 3.8.

CGEventKeyboardGetUnicodeStringin macOS keyboard listener to send correct characters. - Include keysym instead of key code in Xorg keyboard listener.
- Corrected logging to not include expected
StopException. - Updated and corrected documentation.
- Log unhandled exceptions raised by listener callbacks.
- Added possibility to fully suppress events when listening.
- Added support for typing some control characters.
- Added support for mouse drag events on OSX. Thanks to jungledrum!

Xlib.keysymdef.xkbon Xorg. Thanks to Glandos!
- Do not crash when
Xlib.display.Display.get_input_focusreturns an integer, as it may when running under Xephyr. Thanks to Eli Skeggs!
- Corrected check for virtual key code when generating keyboard events on OSX. This fixes an issue where pressing A with shift explicitly pressed would still type a minuscule letter.

- Made platform dependencies non-optional.
- Corrected regression from previous release where button clicks would crash the Mac mouse listener.
- Fall back on Button.unknown for unknown mouse buttons in Xorg mouse listener.
- Added ability to stop event propagation on Windows. This will prevent events from reaching other applications.
- Added ability to ignore events on Windows. This is a workaround for systems where the keyboard monitor interferes with normal keyboard events.
- Added ability to modify events on OSX. This allows intercepting and altering input events before they reach other applications.
- Corrected crash on OSX when some types of third party input sources are installed.
- Allow catching exceptions thrown from listener callbacks. This changes the API, as joining a listener now potentially raises unhandled exceptions, and unhandled exceptions will stop listeners.
- Added support for the numeric keypad on Linux.
- Improved documentation.
- Thanks to jollysean and gilleswijnker for their input!
- Listen for and dispatch middle button mouse clicks on Windows.
