A year already since the first beta builds of Symfonium.

This sounds like a mall duration and yet thanks to all your support and feature requests, Symfonium is now at a very mature version 5.0.

A lot have happened since the last post here about version 2.0.In no particular order:

What android should borrow from iOS

Yet another iOS vs Android post

Ill just list what's better on iOS and what android should borrow from it imho.

And overall the things i miss lol
