The new version of Headliner: NoviNews is official!

Highlights:

• Controller and Keyboard support (with an alternate Office functionality mode)
• Office articles will now "stick" when dragged to the top (you no longer have to hold the mouse)
• You can now stamp Staff Memos and Letters (yes, this was requested a lot, lol)
• Re-balances and re-writes, making the game bit more forgiving and with a wider "middle-ground" path
• Improved performance and fixed ton of bugs/typos!
