Posts

A post is a blog entry associated with a specific date. Posts are placed in the _posts directory and named according to the YEAR-MONTH-DAY-title.md format. Setting a date in the future allows scheduling posts (note: a rebuild of the site has be triggered after the scheduled date has arrived).

Example: 2021-07-20-devlog_25-super-cool-stuff.md

See the Pages wiki article for some general introduction into how Jekyll sites are structured.

The time has come - libGDX 1.9.11 has been released! It contains various different fixes and improvements. Furthermore, we're now also supporting to deploy Linux ARM builds, so Raspberry Pi: here we are!

The latest version of dependencies can, as always, be found [here](/dev/versions/).
{: .notice--primary}

### A few notable changes:
- Update to [MobiVM 2.3.8](https://www.patreon.com/posts/mobivm-2-3-8-new-31697037)
- Update to [LWJGL 3.2.3](https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl3/releases/tag/3.2.3)

This is basically the same as for pages. In additon:

• Tags can be added, to group different articles (so far only used for changelogs and devlogs)
• The category must be set as "news", so the generated links all have /news/ in front of them!
• A teaser image is set in the header section. This image is used on the index to showcase the latest news.
• Authors can be added:
  1. Set show_author: true
  2. Specify the author's GitHub username: author_username: "crykn"
  3. Specify the name to display: author_displayname: "damios" (usually the authors name as displayed on his GitHub profile)

Specific Types of Posts

Changelogs

• If you're adding a new changelog post, please don't forget to set the changelog tag. This is used to automatically update the link & text on the index page.
• The excerpt in a a changelog post must include a short description/introduction that is around 200 characters long. This is displayed on the index page.
• Also, the _data/versions.json file must be updated.
• The roadmap page has to be adapted as well. And don't forget to change the "Last updated" date at the bottom!

Status Reports

• Status Report posts must include the devlog tag.

Game Jam Announcements

• If you're adding a new game jam announcement, please don't forget to also update the community/jams/ page.
