[Scummvm-devel] Fwd: Demos page overhaul

[Peter Bozsó]

Hi!

I absolutely agree with Filippos and Arnaud in this: the new layout is way
nicer and usable than the old one was. I also support the idea of grouping
the different versions of a demo under a common name, and clicking on a
title should show all the versions of the selected game.

Thank you Filippos for the hard and qualitative work! :)
