Release 1.0.1

fixes blue screen during initial installation

Release 1.0.0

Changes since 0.9.6:

• Python3 version changed
  -- int/float handling is now different, e.g. / operator is now // in most cases
• QT was upgraded from 4 to 5. This has several implications:
  -- fontconfig
  -- Xorg X server is used instead of the QT4's display server
  -- external VNC server is used
  -- xinit used to start launcher and VNC server
  -- The old on-screen keyboard needed to be re-written as the Qt4 subsystem to register it did not exist any more.
  -- The kinetic scrolling needed to be re-written as it performed badly in Qt5.
• Gestures are now used for scrolling instead of scroll bars.
• Bluetool utilities were upgraded from Bluez (4?) to Bluez5
• Wifi parsing needed to be re-written as the timing is different now
• netreq was dropped as it was taking 100% cpu and it was unclear how to test it
• The launcher now writes log output to /tmp/launcher.log. There also is an exception handler which displays c++ exceptions within PyQt5
• Updates of diverse python packets
• New python packets were added
  -- pip
  -- matplotlib
  -- pandas
  -- mqtt
  -- websocket-client
• The hardware clock is now updated on shutdown (if ntp was provided via dhcp).
