- The web pages have been improved for mobile devices. For example all menus are now collapsed by default, focusing on the actual content of the page.
- If a group has a xatframe, an alert will be shown above the chat indicating that a xatframe is used, with a quick access to its settings. If the alert is closed, it will not show up again.
