Hello all,

With another month behind us, it’s time for me to recap what happened in January. First things first, as you might see the website received a big overhaul. This will hopefully make it less of an eyesore and easier to navigate, also finally the engine has a dedicated download button on the site, so people don’t need to go spelunking on AppVeyor anymore.

With this out of the way, let’s see this month’s “whodunnit:”
