Now with installer! This build is a bit of a test because of the substantial changes, so if it doesn't work (well) using a previous build is advised : )
Please do tell me about any issues though!

Added

• Added styleing/markup to "PESTER" and "ADD GROUP" menu options and some other previously unstyled elements
• Added pesterchum.spec for use with pyinstaller.
• Wrapped socket in SSL context and changed the port appropriately, hostname verification is turned off.
• Pesterchum now sends a QUIT :reason to the server when shutting down instead of just quitting instantly.

Changed

• Transitioned to Python 3.
• Transitioned to PyQt5.
• Changed character encoding in some placed from ascii to UTF-8 (Emojis should work now)
• Rewrote setup.py file & added bdist_msi

Fixed

• Fixed sRGB profile issue with certain images.
• Fixed issue where Pesterchum crashed if a quirk was malformed.
• Fixed Pesterchum icon getting stuck on the system tray even after shutdown on windows.
• Fixed floating "PESTERLOGS:" in pesterchum & pesterchum2.5 themes.

Deprecated

• Removed update system (it seemed to be non-functional).

• Removed feedparser.py (feedparser) and magic.py (python-magic) from libs and changed them to be normal imports. (Because we're not running Python 2 anymore)

Pesterchum Alt. Builds 2021-2-23

• Server is now customizable without making a separate build by editing "server.json". (Which is generated when starting Pesterchum.)
• Build now has Pygame included to fix the audio mixer.
• Fixed dead links.

Attempted to fix IOError that occurred when Pesterchum failed to open the .js file associated with the default profile. It shouldn't cause a crash anymore, at least. If the error persists or you become unable to switch to a certain profile you could try backing up and then deleting or moving appdata/local/pesterchum/pesterchum.js.

If you're on Windows, download Pesterchum-Alt-win64-1.16.zip, extract it somewhere, and run pesterchum.exe.
If you're on Mac you can download Pesterchum-Alt-Mac-1.16.1.zip.

• Since there's currently only one available server, I removed the prompt for now.
• The Mac build hasn't been tested on any computers other than mine.
• The NO_CONSOLE version is a build without console.py.

EDIT: Added an attempt at a 32-bit build.

Custom server build (Windows-only)

For if you want to connect to a (non-Pesterchum) IRC server of your choosing, put the address in server.ini. Might be buggy.
