* No more Mac releases.
* Cite Windows 10 "Apps & Features" as place to go for uninstall.
* Add Marginal to Acknowledgements.
* Add ", 2020 EDCD" to Copyright.
I've also re-done the release actions/order to actually push the
release-A.B.C.D branch up to github, along with the rel-A.B.C.D tag on
its HEAD. This way the final release step is a merge of release-A.B.C.D
into releases, which could even be done directly on github.
* .msi filename now uses full A.B.C.D version
* Git tag is assumed to be rel-A.B.C.D
Switched the entire appcast.write() formatting to using named tags, no
need to remember positions now.
Addresses part of #523
This is based on the latest appcast edmarketconnector.xml contents.
It looks like Marginal was in the habit of clearing it out when major
version bumped.
Going to need something to retrieve all the prior release notes from
github, starting with rel-100.
* Confirmed requirements,txt contents work, NB: Need to have already
installed py2exe as pip won't find a valid version.
* Document using requirements.txt, now that it's up to date.
* So that isn't part of the py2exe section now.
* Removed modules we don't seem to use any more.
* Went through *all* the imports (including 'from X import Y') and
checked every module was one of: builtin, stock in win32 python
3.7.7 or a known dependency of another we do list.
* As we still have the sqlite3.dll hack in setup.py I've only
specified: +py2exe>=0.9.3.2
* certifi==2019.9.11 to work around py2exe issues the current latest
* keyring==19.2.0 to work around py2exe issues the current latest
This still needs testing to see if it's enough to setup an
only-just-installed Python-32 of 3.7.7
Where it was in EDMarketConnector.py caused issues because then the
main thread was blocking on the popup when other threads expected it to
be running:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Exception in thread Journal worker:
Traceback (most recent call last):

RuntimeError: main thread is not in main loop
---------------------------------------------------------------------
However *now* it pops up before the main UI is running properly at all,
so the EDMC window is likely out of position, and won't be
painted/themed yet.
This is deemed acceptable for a 'once a day at most' popup.
The popup title now has 'EDMC: ' at the start to be sure users know
what it's talking about.
It also has some brief advice about how to disable a plugin.
To allow users to sort out their plugins before EDMC itself moves to
Python 3.x warn them if any of their enabled, non-stock, plugins do not
have a plugin_start3() method.
* If any are found without support there's a popup triggered at the
end of AppWindow initialisation.
* Then the user can check Settings > Plugins to see a list of the
plugins without Python 3.x support.
