+What's up?
+==========
+
+I've made significant changes, including:
+
+* new command line flags:
+  * `-fg` to set font color;
+  * `-bg` to set background color;
+  * `--no-sudo` do not perform check on launched sudo (it's currently VERY slow,
+    because of this check will launch subprocess on EVERY key typed);
+  * `-n, --no-hide` do not hide window after timeout, hide only text (make it
+    usable with tile managers, for example, with i3, which can not have
+    unfocusable windows);
+* instead of removing text on `backspace` symbol `⌫` will be added; it was
+  broken anyway, so it will happily erase `Ctrl+...` and other text;
+* space is changed to visible character: `␣`;
+* supported second keyboard layout, so not only ASCII letters can be recorded;
+* way of detecting modifiers was changed and now based on pure event state
+  field; it's more robust and precise, so, for example, if you remap arrow
+  keys into Mod+\[HJKL\] (as I do) you get correct output (arrows, not Mod+arrows
+  or something);
+* `Shift+` is now not printed for characters that have two distinct states
+  with and without Shift; it means, that when you type `Shift+q` you will see
+  `Q`. However, if you type `Shift+Left`, you will see `Shift+←`;
+* added another position modifier, and now window can be dragged around to
+  choose optimal position and size; it will remembered and will not change
+  after window hide/show cycle;
+* font size is now binded to window height, so if you resize window you will
+  get different font size;
+* spacing between several keys are tweaked, so they will not nestle to each
+  other, like this: `Ctrl+vhello`; instead, you will see: `Ctrl+v hello`.
