- update to 1.6:
* Fix portability issues with signed vs unsigned chars in the config
file parser (thanks to Charlène Wendling).
* The -t option now allows fractional time values (e.g. -t 0.5 to
display for half a second).
* Set window type hint to notification to avoid shadows and other
decorations (thanks to Markus Demleitner).
* Add support for right-to-left text (thanks to @ilevi-code).
