Most likely the last snapshot befor the 2.6.3er release in ~3 weeks, incl.:

- ADD. new options show_art_score, col_score_neg, col_score_pos
- ADD. unset of ranges

and some code cleanup (move all translated strings to lang.c, silence
some compiler and static analyzer warnings, avoid some fixed length
buffers, ...)

translators: now is the time to update the po-files

testers: feedback from exotic (or old) OSs, architectures and compilers
welcome (anything other than x86_64-pc-linux-gnu ,-).
