weekly-v3.0.0+264.g5b0d859

Benoit Pierre has been working on improving Python 3 support, and so hopefully no one will notice any bugs with this update. There are loads of under-the-hood changes and any unexpected bugs would be great to hear about.

Since our last weekly, Plover's license was updated from GPLv2 to GPLv2+, thank you to all our contributors for your help in this change.

Features

• New protocol: ProCAT. Now ProCAT users can connect to Plover without needing to put their machine in emulation mode. This protocol should work with the Flash, Blaze, Impression, and Xpression.
• There is now a shorter path string when showing dictionaries that are in your home directory.

Dictionary Updates

• Thanks to @Slotkenov for putting in huge effort to improve the main dictionary. This includes fixes, removal of bad entries, and new words, and briefs. Also to @davidkitfriedman and others on issue #400 for their contributions as well. More to come in future updates.
