 - Added `Window::surface_position`, which is the position of the surface inside the window.
 - Added `Window::safe_area`, which describes the area of the surface that is unobstructed.
 - On X11, Wayland, Windows and macOS, improved scancode conversions for more obscure key codes.
+- Add ability to make non-activating window on macOS using `NSPanel` with `NSWindowStyleMask::NonactivatingPanel`.
