[upgrade request] Mnemosyne 2.4. released Dec. 5th 2016 – Qt5

[Flames_in_Paradise]

hi!

upon a few month of work, an extended beta-phase

the new Qt5 version is out.

Mnemosyne 2.4 : 2016-12-05

-Upgraded all code to Python3 and PyQt5, so that Mnemosyne no longer
 depends on libraries which are gradually becoming unsupported.
-The move to PyQt5 enabled to show progress bars with percentages for
 certain long operations like initial sync.
-Improved startup speed.
-New command line option "--high-dpi-scaling" to enable scaling for displays
 with high DPI values. Not enabled by default because it can cause some
 issues with multiple connected displays.
-Tag combobox now expands to give suggestions for tags also when using more
 than one tag (patch by Emilian Mihalache)
