File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 2.7.5

Notes:
Important notes:
* there is no default compiled scrollbar: you must choose via ./configure
  which scrollbar/s you wish to compile in.  If you compile in more than
  one scrollbar, the choice of scrollbar type is via resource ''scrollstyle''
  (or long option ''--scrollstyle'').
* the --enable-everything is _order dependent_.  If you use it, use it
  first, then you can disable something it enables if desired.
* src/feature.h SCROLL_ON_UPDOWN_KEYS has been commented out to be compatible
  with older rxvt versions.
* the build process supports shared libraries.  This is for future use and I
  suggest that people (especially package builders) do _not_ use it.
* slower link support added via XCopyArea() is not active if you use a
  pixmap or set transparency (support for those may still be compiled in)
* the TODO list has grown and I'll get onto it when I get back
