v2.2.0

Highlight

This release introduces a new "check services" feature that will check for services that require a post upgrade restart, and it will offer you to do so if there are (#203).

It also includes various improvements and fixes on the systray applet side. Most notably the new arch-update --tray --enable option (#197), that allows to automatically set up the Arch-Update systray applet to the "autostart commands" (which is the preferred method for some specific desktop environments, such as XFCE for instance). Additionally, a few fixes that brings a better integration in some desktop environment have been made ((#179) & (#202)), especially for KDE Plasma.

Finally, this release brings a lot of "chore/internal" changes and standards that should help structuring the future development of the project and ease external contributions.

Important note:
The archlinux-contrib package is a new dependency. People using the Arch-Update AUR package will get it automatically when updating to v2.2.0, but people installing Arch-Update from source will have to install this new dependency by themselves.
