[Update 1.1.0 Release] Commodities, New UI, MLB + MLS Leagues, Bug Fixes!

Hey everyone, it’s been a while!

Hope you're all doing well. We’re back from a much needed 2 month long break. During this time off, we were able to focus on some software development, so with that said, we got a new update for you all! This 1.1.0 update includes bug fixes (crash to black after a while bug should also be completely fixed now), new stock logos, and most importantly, we did a major redesign of the web panel, added the new commodities feature, and added 2 new sport leagues (MLS and MLB)! For a full list of changes made in this update, please see below.

Anyone else recently started playing with the commodities markets too?

If you don’t know how to update your tickers, please watch this tutorial video:

Reminders on Using the Tickers
 Based on feedback from backers and their first setup experiences, I've gathered some key points as reminder:
 - Please restart display after adding in your weather api key, and add a new city to your list after
 - Give a minute or two for the ticker to connect to internet after boot (web panel access)
 - Crypto formatting: Only display cryptos from the top 750 market cap of  Coingecko. And please type the proper ticker symbol, NOT the name of the cryptocurrency.  E.g. BTC,USD (not Bitcoin,USD)
 - Forex formatting: BASE,QUOTE    e.g. EUR,BHD ( View list of available quote and base currencies)
 - After clicking join network, please restart the ticker
 - When setting up multiple tickers, please set them up one by one. And change the hostname of each ticker so that you can uniquely identify each ticker and access their individual web control panels.
 Just a reminder, the below features won’t work with professional two row display:
 - Daily Forecast
 - Sports (Upcoming Games)
 - Sports (Past Games)
 - Sports (Team Stats)
 - Sports (Live Games)
 - GIFs, Images, Custom Messages

 Fee free to send us some photos / videos of your tickers in action, we'd love to report them on our Instagram!
