- Upgrade to version 1.5
Changes:
* Updated from Gtk2/GDK to Gtk3/Cairo. Note that because of the removal
of the `gtk_widget_shape_combine_mask' API that xcowsay used for
transparency, we now rely on the alpha channel of the window and a
compositing window manager for this.
* As a side effect of this, the bubble is now anti-aliased, fixing a
long-standing issue.
* Unfortunately running xcowsay without a compositor is no longer
supported. If this affects you please continue to use 1.4 as there are
no functional changes in 1.5.
* The cow position is more random (thanks to Tony Finch).
