+0.1, 2023/09/06 -- LINUX: Fixed all title-related methods (title, getAllTitles, getAllAppsWindowTitles, etc.) returning empty values when using Xlib's get_wm_name()
                    MACOS: Tested OK in multi-monitor setups (based on PyWinBox and PyMonCtl features).
                    ALL: getDisplay() method returns a list of monitors.
 0.0.50, 2023/02/03 -- ALL: Added PyMonCtl module to improve multi-monitor capabilities, added setParent() method. Reorganized to avoid IDEs showing external and / or private elements
                       WINDOWS: Simplified alwaysOnBottom(), found a smarter way to refresh window after bringing it back with sendBehind()

                       MACOSNSWINDOW: Added experimental acceptInput() method (not possible in AppleScript version)
 0.0.45, 2023/08/21 -- ALL: Included PyWinBox module which hopefully better handles multi-monitor setups (macOS tests pending)
                       LINUX: Fixed geometry calculations (thanks to roym899), removed ewmh and pynput dependencies

 - To control other applications' windows: MacOSWindow() is based on Apple Script, so it is non-standard, slower and, in some cases, tricky (uses window name as reference, which may change or be duplicate), but it's working fine in most cases. You will likely need to grant permissions on Settings -> Security&Privacy -> Accessibility. ***Notice some applications will have limited Apple Script support or no support at all, so some or even all methods may fail!***
