Hmm... on second thoughts, I'm not sure it's a good idea for the release
notes.
I've gone through the change log and pruned it a little, for instance:
- Evert Glebbeek fixed the window title under X11, which was broken by a
- previous change.
That change was also between 4.2.0 and 4.2.1, so the mentioning of it being
fixed should not be in the change log (except maybe as an unspecified
bugfix at the end).
Milan Mimica made the new transparent fonts be recognized as color
aren't the transparent fonts also new in 4.2.1? I don't see them mentioned
in the list of changes between 4.2.0 and 4.2.1. They probably should be,
in which case I'd put this as an unspecified bugfix at the end.
+ Elias Pschernig made the UNIX port modules path WIP version specific,
for
+ enhanced binary compatibility.
I rewrote this a little, but I still have to read it twice to see what it
actually says.

-<li>
- Catatonic Porpoise [added OpenBSD detection (in addaition to FreeBSD
and

- for the i386 stretcher on UNIX systems.
Collapsed the stretcher fix as a single-line credit
- Dennis Busch fixed the short description of add_clip_rect.
Moved to unspecified documentation update
And a few more changes like these, as well as some cosmetic changes. Let me
know if it's ok with these changes applied.
