(thanks to Mark Davies)
- Enhanced window property API can now encode and decode common property
types, and uses duavar Atoms.

Xlib objects and dependencies.
- Numerous documentation improvements
0.20 - 2020-05-25
- Fix XS double-free in unpacking ::Screen objects from Screen*
(affected XWindowAttributes->unpack)

- Fix timeout bug in Display->wait_event, and add loop option
- New X11 API: error functions, atom functions, few XRender functions,
window property functions
- Add missing XMapRequest event type
- Convenience method XEvent->summarize can pretty-print an event
- Wrapper object (and typemap) for XserverRegion

and for reading/writing attributes

- Fix API of XCompositeQueryVersion, which takes in/out arguments
- Only run X11-connected test cases when DISPLAY is set
- Add configuration for Travis-CI
- Doc updates
0.13 - 2017-04-13
- Many new window attribute and window placement functions/constants
- Several new Input and Event functions
- New structs XRectangle, XWindowAttributes, XWindowChanges
- Xcomposite API, conditionally detected by makefile
- A little bit of undocumented Xfixes API
- Changed API for XGetGeometry, but still backward compatible
- Fix prereq lists in Makefile.PL and META files.

- more distinct separation between C-style API and object layer.
- caching support for objects wrapping connections or XIDs
- typemap handling for all the new supported objects
- use ExtUtils::Depends to share C API and typemap with derived modules
