🎉 2.0!

This is quite a massive update and I'm not going to write all the details about each commit, so if you want an in-depth changelog, please refer to the comparison with the previous tag.

However, here's a run-down of the most impactful changes:

  • ⚡ HUGE performance boost & better GPU compatibility. (#217 and #238 FIXED) Electron was updated from 2.4 all the way up to 4.0, which fixed a lot of issues, notably one where people with specific AMD cards could not see the globe at all.
    Multithreading support was added for all systems, which improves performances a lot, especially for people with >4 CPU cores.

  • ✋ Multitouch support (#100) was finally added and you can now use eDEX on your touchscreen desk. Enjoy.

  • 🔈 SOUND. There are now sound effects at startup and when typing and receiving output (you can switch them off, don't worry.) Also a work in progress "extraAudio" setting that enables a bunch of extra sounds & loops to really get in the mood.

  • A new graphical settings editor in a draggable modal window allows you to tweak edex without opening the notepad. There's also a button to open said notepad, in case of.

  • Change disks & access USB drives in the filesystem display. (#266)

  • macOS users now have the correct environment vars set up in the eDEX terminal. That took some time, sorry. (#366, #336)

  • The automatic selection of the right network interface for monitoring has been improved. There's also an override in the settings in case it fucks up.

And that's about it, plus a few new keyboards and themes from you guys. Enjoy!
