Avrella - feature list
This list is by no means comprehensive.
In compiling this list some of the "features" have been included which should be taken as obvious, (and what are considered minimal necessary requirements) however rather than possibly confuse, these have been included.
Too often a feature list can just become a very long and dull list. If you are looking for some particular feature in this list which you can't find, then there is a chance it has just been missed out. Please feel free to email for further information. (Although it is worth first consulting the wish list, to check if it is a soon to be implemented feature on a future 1.xx version release)
