Added newly implemented features, including support for Taiwan chinese, rss-feeds, update interval, additional feature, calibration hour etc. (see settings.py file for more info)
Added RSS-feedparser. Added support for user-defined display-update intervals. Removed support for recurring events (temporarily).
Imporved processing time for the generated image form nearly 30 seconds to less than a second. Improved readability of docstrings.
To implement the RSS-feedparser, a new package is required: feedparser ->sudo pip3 install feedparser
For super-fast image processing, numpy is required -> sudo apt-get install python-numpy
The above have been added in the installer
Know/made an awesome image for the E-Paper Display you'd like to share? In that case, mail me the image with a short description and I'll add it to the collection

Switched from using bitmap images to png images for images with transparency mask (event, today, weekday). Also, using a custom processing function that processes the generated image so it can be displayed much better on the E-Paper Display.
Added info about the module and a 'timer' to time the time taken for calibration. Improved some output messages for easier understanding. Switched form generating images to opening images, hence allowing a slightly faster calibration.
In the calibration module, previously an image with only one colour was first generated converted and then displayed. To decrease the calibration time a little, the updated module does not generate the images, but rather opens them from the 'other' path. As the image does not need to be generated each time, calibration now works a little faster.
