Support is never done

31.05.2020. It has been three months since our last major release. During this period we developed many new features, fixed numerous of bugs, but many tasks still remain for the future. Our primary focus continues dealing with low-level support, which is prioritized by supported hardware and by basic device functionality.

Unfortunately, this means the desktop remains unchanged for years as we've been focusing on higher priority items. Despite being underpowered community supported project, we continue to make significant progress and stay in front of critical issues.
