v4.0.0

Breaking changes

• the readkey() function now raises a KeyboardInterupt when CTRL+C is pressed. (but readchar() can still be used to capture it). This is more inline with the python philosophy (IMHO) and prevents developers from accidentally trapping their users with no option to stop the programm.
• the ESCAPE_SEQUENCES variable, it's no longer used

fixes

• windows now returns strings instead of bytestrings, same as on linux
• windows now supports most special characters
• swaped LF and CR, as per #69
• windows actually returns CR on ENTER, so the ENTER variable now points to the appropriate existing variable
• __all__ should return a list of strings
• f5-f12 had wrong codes on linux
• code coverage is much better now:
