+New in 0.8: I've added symbols for BackSpace and Delete. But
+more important, I've added two new ways to specify characters.
+
+You can specify characters by symbol using \( and \), using
+the symbol definitions from /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h. For
+example, \(BackSpace\) would insert a backspace character.
+
+You can also specify control characters using the up-caret ^
+character. So you could get that same backspace character with ^H.
+
+0.8.1 just fixes a new compiler warning, no functional changes.
+0.8.2 adds -lXext to the link line -- some systems added that
+    automatically, but making it explicit is better.
+0.8.3 adds a bunch more new ways to specify characters, fixes
+    some bugs, and switches back to XTest as the default (use
+    -x to use XSendEvent).
+
+I also have a new, experimental, Python version called pykey,
+which requires the python-xlib library. It might be useful for
+people who don't have a compiler installed, or as a demo of how
+to generate key events in python-xlib. Try it out: pykey-0.1.
