BREAKING CHANGES

• ATTENTION, PACKAGE MAINTAINERS - swww is now composed of two separate binaries: swww and swww-daemon. Both must be installed on the user's system in order for swww to work correctly. Doing this allowed for major improvements in terms of overall memory usage, among other things (#52).

Improvements:

• separate client and daemon (see above).
• we don't try to animate gif files that have only one frame
• we can read images from stdin (not this does not work for animated gifs; we simply display the image's first frame) (#42)
• --no-resize option (pads the outer part of the image with fill-color) (#37)
• new transition: wave, by @flick0
• reading image format properly (instead of using file extension) (#74)

Fixes:

• fixed panic with on gif that had identical frames (#68)
• fixed panic with fractional-scaling (#73) (by @thedmm)

Non-breaking Changes:

• @flick0 changed the default transition-step

Internal:

• Many improvements to the README.md (@aouerfelli and @flick0)
