known issues

• on linux the fontawesome font cannot be installed *

  Current Linux implementation does not support this functionality. GTK/Cairo has no means for that. Please wait for Sciter 5.X.X.X where I am switching to Skia as a primary backend on Linux.

• css @keyframes are not working since 4.4.8.27
