What changed in v1.5

Expired and dismissed notifications go to a history buffer (history, max-history) that makoctl restore brings back. New on-button-left/middle/right and on-touch bindings, regex criteria for summary and body, icon-location, text-alignment, and anchor/output criteria so notifications can go to different screens and edges. makoctl takes -n <id>, and dismiss -g dismisses a group.

v1.5; can build with basu instead of systemd or elogind.
