Motivation for this change
This change was initially motivated by unexpected behavior of alacritty after updating from 19.09 to 20.03.
The application seemed to randomly close, upon further investigation it turns out that this was probably related to Alacritty not ignoring keyboard events for changing WM focus on X11.
0.4.2 also includes other X11 related bugfixes ( https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/releases/tag/v0.4.2 )
