[ANNOUNCE] xprop 1.2.8

[Alan Coopersmith]

xprop is a command line tool to display and/or set window and font
properties of an X server.

This release contains the following change to the way icons are displayed
in the terminal when COLORTERM=truecolor in the environment variables:

    The vast majority of monospaced fonts are roughly half as wide as they
    are tall; to account for this when displaying icons, `xprop` draws each
    pixel twice in the horizontal, which nicely evens out the proportions.
    
    This patch utilizes the Lower Half Block character (▄) to obtain the
    same result in a quarter of the space. By setting both a background and
    a foreground color, we can draw two pixels per character cell, thereby
    halving the apparent height of an icon rather than doubling its width.

Thank you to Eden Bynever for contributing this change.
