asciiRyver 1.0.2b1

Ryver for the terminal

asciiRyver is a Ryver chat client designed to be able to run in the terminal. This was built on the Asciimatics framework. This is not designed to be professional software, and it is still currently in beta. At present, there may be lots of bugs encountered, but the basic chat functionality is working, including: forums, workgroups, direct messaging, topics, and topic creation.
