NeReO 1.1 - a free, text-only Usenet reader for Android (GPLv3)

A FEW WORDS ABOUT THIS PROJECT
First of all this is an *Italian Project* ;)

I built *NeReO* purely for my own enjoyment. I'm not a programmer - I
actually know nothing about coding. I wrote it with an AI assisting me
step by step (Claude, by Anthropic), learning as I went along.

It came out of a personal itch. I wasn't happy with the only two 
Android
newsreaders I could find: Piao Hong's NG Reader Mod 17 by Alfio, and 
Phonews
(which, to unlock posting, is payware). I wanted a clean, configurable,
text-only Usenet reader, and there wasn't one - so I made my own.

I'm happy to share it with anyone: it's free and open source (GPLv3),
you can use, copy and modify it freely. If it's useful to you, that
already makes me glad; if you find a bug or have an idea, drop me a 
line:
half of what works well today exists because someone took the trouble 
to
point it out.

Usenet Still Lives! ;)

NeReO 1.1 - Ne(ws) Re(ader) O(pen-source)
A free, text-only Usenet (NNTP) newsreader for Android.

If you read Usenet from a phone and want discussions, not a binary
downloader: NeReO does text only. No binary groups, no attachments,
no ads, no telemetry. Free software, GPLv3. Interface in English and
Italian.

What it does:
 - Multi-server NNTP over SSL/TLS with authentication (RFC 3977/4643),
   automatic IPv6/IPv4 fallback.
 - Threaded view (JWZ on References), plus sequential and grouped
   views, and a continuous whole-thread view.
 - Scoring filter engine, slrn/Gnus style: contains/wildcard/regex on
   From, Subject, Message-ID, Xref and Body; per-group scope (wildmat);
   expiry; kill/hide/highlight/watch; kill-file import/export.
 - Posting: replies with quoting (four modes), crossposting,
   signatures, per-server identities, local drafts.
 - RFC 2047 headers, quoted-printable, base64, multiple charsets;
   Face/X-Face; ROT13; full headers.
 - Backup/restore of the configuration, with optional encryption.

New in 1.1:
 - In-app language switch (English / Italian), so you can change the
   language without touching the phone's locale - works down to
   Android 8.
 - Database safety net: if a future update or an older-APK downgrade
   makes the stored schema incompatible, NeReO now backs up the data
   and warns you instead of silently wiping it.

Requirements: Android 8.0 or later.

BTW, Any comments and bug reports welcome
