Revision as of 05:26, 15 June 2019

This page may require cleanup to meet basic quality standards. The specific problem is: A lot of rows can probably be merged into each others, and in general some form of objective way of measuring whether a feature is worth mentioning would be good to have. Finally, possible to handle unique platform-specific features separately?. You can help by modifying the article. The discussion page may contain useful suggestions.
