fixes

• issue #203 Text fade-in is not smooth anymore
• issue #47 Stopping picframe with CTRL C doesn't always work
• issue #182 Memory issue PIL >= 8.3.0
  • Will fix #182 on new install, as a workaround upgrade Pillow manually to release 9.0.0 or later

• #175 Syntax error in os.walk
• Avoid permanent mqtt subscription to directory topic

configuration.yaml will change

• Fix #167
• Fix #166
  Make it configurable, that picframe follows symbolic links.
  configuration.yaml

  model:
  ...
  follow_links: False   # default=False, By default, picframe will not walk down into symbolic links that resolve to directories. Set follow_links to True to visit directories pointed to by symlinks, on systems that support them.

• #144
• #148
  • this will break the old home assistant integration

  • auto discovery of switch in home assistant

    clock_text_sz: 120                      # default=120, clock character size
