Lots of changes in this new version! TLS support for everyone, the official release of Syncplay on the Snap store and on AppImageHub, support for Dark Mode and Emoji picker in macOS, and many more things. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release.

Embed darkdetect (GitHub, BSD-3-Clause) version 0.1.1 in the project vendor folder
Some files in the repository are now released under the MIT license, while the repository stays on Apache 2.0. This is explicitly stated in the header of those files. At this moment, this exception applies to README.md and travis/appimage-script.sh.
[macOS] Upgrade PySide2 to 5.12.3, using a bottle created in our custom tap.
Upgrade qt5reactor to version 0.5
[Windows] Upgrade py2exe to version 0.9.3.0

As a result of the transition the newer Unicode characters are now supported on all operating systems (so long as you are on PySide2!). Time to find out some emojis!
