Happypanda v1.0

As some of you might already know, this is most likely the last release of Happypanda. After a short break I will be moving on to Happypanda X. To keep yourself updated, you might want to follow me on twitter.

Finally, I want to thank everyone who contributed with the development of Happypanda. Somehow these contributions kept me motivated enough to work on Happypanda. And because of that we ended up with a pretty decent gallery management program.

I hope I'll stay motivated enough so that in the future Happypanda will be superceded by HappypandaX.

How to update

See here

You'll do well with a clean install, as I had moved on to Python 3.5 and in the process alot of libraries has been updated. (Only if you're on v0.30!!)

Install v1.0 in a new folder then copy over your db folder and settings.ini file from previous installation.

How to install & run
