  • 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).
