• Migrated to gtk3 which is the default major version of gtk used by mate in the current debian stable and newer
• Limited the amount to which text can grow before being displayed into GtkLabel when viewing historical data for the week, to prevent GtkLabel from crashing
• Added test to count amount of commas left in text to be processed
