Changes in 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).
Changes in 1.5.1
=====================
- Fix black background on non-composited displays. This is a workaround
for the Gtk3 limitation mentioned below.
Changes in 1.5
=====================
- 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).
Changes in 1.0 to 1.4
=====================
- Added a new option --dream which displays an image instead
of text.
- Added a new --think mode which displays a thought bubble
instead of the usual speech bubble
- Added new wrapper scripts xcowdream and xcowthink as
shortcuts for the above.
- Added a new Portuguese translation (courtesy of Vinícius
Moreira de Oliveira)
- Made --disable-dbus the default configure option as not
many people seem to be using the daemon. Hopefully this
will be replaced by the GNOME applet soon anyway.
- Removed the xcowat script as it was pretty useless.
- You can now click on the bubble as well as the cow to close
the window.
- Fixed a bug where the cow could appear off the left edge
of the screen in some circumstances. (Although this will
still occur if the cow and bubble are wider than the screen.)
- Fixed a separate bug where the bubble could appear cut off
at the top of the screen.
- Fixed various bugs with the daemon mode.
- A few other bug fixes ;-)
