herbstluftwm 0.5.3 release

[Thorsten Wißmann]

Hi,

the world is not only ready for version 0.5.3 -- it seems to be the only
possibility to keep the package maintainers busy over the holidays.
Furthermore, 0.5.3 paves the way for some experimental post-release
hacking sessions, e.g. in the next days in Hamburg at the 30C3[1].

Some of the new features are quite subtle:

  - Make window floating faster by dropping old motion events
  - Instead of copying the pixmap from the root window for
    frame_bg_transparent achieve transparency by cutting out a rectangle
    from the center of frames using the Shape Extension of X.
  - Respect size hints

... just to name a few. The full list of new features[2] and release
tarballs[3] are at the usual place.

Happy Holidays,
Thorsten
