0.15.0

Sway 0.15 includes 199 changes from 39 contributors. New features include scriptable clipboard support and raspberry pi support, but this release is mostly for bug fixes. This is also the last release of sway that will be based on wlc - for more information, see my blog post on the matter.

There will be no 0.16 - the next release will be 1.0.
