December 2024 update (2024-12-31)
This month I was so busy with work on the new game info page (now about 80% ready) that I've almost forgot to keep track of the usual fixes.
This is what I recall without spending too much time on GIT logs:
- Global search games alt names easier to read.
- Fixed user avatar in game info pages.
- More improvement in magazines pages.
- Many layout an text improvements.
- Boring server management.
I've also done some testing for the dark mode, might be released soon.
