The main change is the introduction of a new home page which lists the most interesting threads in all open forums. Interesting threads are those where there is currently the most activity. In addition, the home page shows a list of people who are currently online so you can see who is active at the time.

Changes are :-

* New home page that shows interesting threads and online users.
* Add option in Settings to change whether CIXReader always starts at the home page.
* Backtrack now restores unread state of message.
* ‘Q’ key now aliases to replying and quoting the original message’.
* New message markup parser.

* Fixed multiple image rendering issue.

This will allow anyone to download, view, modify and edit the source
code accordingly. In line with this, a new forum has been created -
cix:ameol_dev for discussion and FAQs.

Support will be limited from CIX staff.

CIX will be using the GitHub repository, and the page can be found at https://github.com/cixonline/ameol

CIX will continue to support and update Ameol as needed and with
contributions from the open source community, but we are concentrating on new software; we have already released CIXReader for Windows which is proving very popular among existing and new users, with a view to taking this to other platforms in the near future.
