### Changed
|
|
* Changed E-Paper layout by splitting the image into three section: top-, middle, bottom.
|
|

|
|
* Changed the function which displays text on the Calendar
|
|
* Merged e-paper driver files (initially epd7in5b and epd7in5) into a single one (e_paper_drivers)

* Switched from image-based translations to text-based translation

### Removed
|

* (Temporary) dropped support of the installer on Raspbian Jessie Lite due to some known bugs

|
|
|
### Fixed
|
|
* Fixed problems with iCalendar triggers by removing them altogether when parsing the iCalendar
|
|
* Fixed problems with outdated events
|
|
|
|
|
|
(*) Updating too frequently can cause ghosting, a problem specific to E-Paper displays where parts of the previous image can be seen on the current image. Ghosting can be fixed by 'calibrating' the E-Paper (displaying a single colour on the entire display) and is done by default. As a rule of thumb, one 'calibration' should be done for every 6 display-updates to maintain a crisp image.
