Η εξέλιξη δεν σταματάει για το Mame ούτε τις γιορτινές μέρες των Χριστουγέννων με αποτέλεσμα να έχουμε την τέταρτη κατά σειρά ενημέρωση για την έκδοση 0.144. Τα νέα μπορείτε να τα διαβάσετε εδώ ενώ για ότι νεότερο σε αρχεία από το download section.

Υ.Γ. Καλά Χριστούγεννα με υγεία αγάπη και ευτυχία. Θα ευχόμουνα και λεφτά αλλά με την υπάρχουσα κατάσταση δεν πρόκειται να μας αφήσουν να βάλουμε στην άκρη, οπότε ας αρκεστούμε σε ότι έχουμε.
