Software update: Vienna 2.0.0.2015

The developers of the Vienna program for the Mac OS X platform have taken a different path with version 2.0. The support for the CIX conference system with which you could, among other things, read a conference off-line has disappeared. They have now focused on supporting all kinds of RSS and Atom feeds that can then be stored in a local SQLite database. Version 2.0.0.2015 is now available with the following changes:
