v3.3.0
563f716

This release focuses on improving the usability and design. The most notable change is that Rymdport now will check for new updates on startup and then ask the user if it should automatically update and restart the application. On top of this there is a new theme, a few minor design design tweaks and support for following FreeDesktop Dark Style Preference on Linux/BSD.

A big thanks to Fyne Labs

The automatic application updates would not have been possible without the help of Fyne Labs. They have kindly provided access to their automated cross-compilation platform Geoffrey as well as infrastructure and hosting for the automatic updates. I am very grateful for their support and cooperation.

Note to packagers

The automatic updating is disabled by default as it does not fit in well where package managers handle updates.
Automatic updates are only enabled when passing -tags release to the Go compiler only and is of course enabled for all of the release binaries here on GitHub.
