This release mainly features support for transparency (contribution by Oliver Hattshire @Hattshire) in color specifications along with improvements to the pulseaudio watcher script provided in the documentation.

Added

• Support for transparency: color specification can now contain a value for the alpha channel.
• Automatic default sink index detection in the example pulseaudio watcher script. This should make the script work out of the box for most users.
• Ready to use screen brightness watcher script in the README.
• Quiet mode (-q).

Changed

• xob now depends on libxrender for the new transparency feature (this can be optionally disabled when building xob).
• Improved documentation of the named-pipe method.
• The documentation encourages users to use dedicated input programs instead of the named-pipe method (now presented as a fallback method).

Fixed

• Documentation used to advise to overwrite the content of named pipes which could lead to premature file endings. The documentation now recommends to append new values command >> named_pipe.
• Issue in the pulseaudio watcher script where pulseaudio sink indexes were abusively used as indexes of the internal pulsectl library's data structures.
