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.
Contains a lot of minor improvements like better output, fixing some 'crude' sections. The algorithm for fetching events has been improved (faster) and is more dynamic. Users can specify the range in days for fetching events form the future. Also fixed a bug where past events were not marked with circles on the monthly calendar. Also improved some output messages.
