+- The absolute `.left` _property_ (not option) has been renamed to `.aleft`.
+  The `.rleft` property has been renamed to `.left`. This should not have much
+  effect on most applications. This includes all other coordinate properties.
+- `autoPadding` is now enabled by default. To revert to the original behavior,
+  pass `autoPadding: false` into the screen object. That being said, it would
+  be wiser to adjust your code to use `autoPadding`. non-`autoPadding` is now
+  considered deprecated.
