Updated: mintty-0.9.9-1

[Andy Koppe]

mintty 0.9.9-1 is on its way to the Cygwin mirrors.

CHANGES
=======
- The transparency level can now be set to any value ranging from 4 to
254 in the config file or on the command line. (For backward
compatibility, values below 4 are multiplied by 16. 255 means "Glass".)
- Implemented mintty-specific OSC sequence 7771 for checking which
characters are available in the currently selected font.
- Ctrl+symbol and Ctrl+number combinations that yield control
characters are no longer overridden in xterm "modifyOtherKeys" mode
level 1, but only level 2.
- Stopped sending bogus control sequences for some Ctrl+symbol
combinations. Also stopped trying to add Shift to Ctrl+symbol
combinations to obtain a control character. That's only done for
Ctrl+number combinations now.
- Moved implementation of private mode 30 (as introduced by rxvt) for
hiding and showing the scrollbar to the mintty-specific private mode
7766, because it doesn't do quite the same thing: instead of changing
window size to account for the width of the scrollbar, mintty changes
the number of character columns.
- Stopped rogue mouse release events being sent when application mouse
mode is overridden with Shift.
- Middle button paste now happens on release rather than click of the
button, as in xterm and rxvt.

DESCRIPTION
===========
Mintty is a terminal emulator for Cygwin with a native Windows user
interface and minimalist design. Among its features are Unicode
support and a graphical options dialog. Its terminal emulation is
largely compatible with xterm, but it does not require an X server.
