ChangeLog
0.4.1 (git HEAD):
- Add support for HiDPI monitors where GDK's pixel units don't necessarily
match Wnck pixel units by default.
- Add minimal support for querying _GTK_WORKAREAS_D0 (GNOME Shell on X11)
- Expose existing margin support via config file
- Add a generic exception catcher for keybindings so errors in tiling commands
shouldn't render QuickTile non-responsive.
- Work around inherent race condition in gathering strut reservations
- Fix some PyGI-related warnings that only happen on certain systems
- Adjust installation instruction/scripts to avoid creating root-permissioned
pip cache files in the user's home directory.
- Assorted documentation improvements.
- Continued efforts to increase automated testing

- Add illustrations for all commands in the command reference
- Rename the `middle` command to `center` for consistency with `move-to-*`
- Ensure off-screen windows can be manipulated relative to the nearest monitor
