Covers the Metal iOS rendering backend, the browser-hosted Skin Designer that retires the skin downloader, an iOS Reminders-style Return-as-Done flag, status-bar tap diagnostics, the simulator dark/light toggle, weekend backend maintenance, the Android 16 orientation behaviour change, the version jump to 7.0.242, and a candid look at how we balance quality with the speed of iteration.

Embeds the six developer-guide screenshots (device picker, source picker, Shape / Cutouts / Info editor tabs, finish and download) by linking to the codenameone.com hosted copies so the post matches the narrative walk-through. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
themselves Codename One apps Adds an "Eating our own dog food" sub-section to the Skin Designer chapter pointing out that the three browser-hosted tools are written in Codename One and deployed via the JavaScript port, as a demonstration of what the framework can do.

Recent blog posts include a feed_html key consumed by the Hugo RSS template (layouts/_default/list.feed.xml) to produce a richer feed description with the hero image and inline code formatting. Adding the missing entry so RSS subscribers see the proper item body. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Same RSS-template requirement as the metal-and-skins post: without feed_html the Hugo feed template falls back to plain text with no hero image. Adding the missing entry retroactively so the May 1 post shows up correctly in RSS. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
