The whole changelog is available +[here](https://github.com/ggez/ggez/blob/0.6.0/CHANGELOG.md). + +More importantly, `ggez` is now maintained by a group of volunteers, +with the original maintainer stepping down from active development after +over four years. The new maintainers are mostly responsible for the 0.6 +release, and will hopefully be bringing good ideas and tech to the +library for years to come. For details, see [this github +issue](https://github.com/ggez/ggez/issues/875). + ## Learning Material Updates ## Tooling Updates From 9a7b3475a5bc1497824ffb0f720c55d6bbf34973 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Clay <27cupsofcoffee@gmail.com> Date: Tue, 3 Aug 2021 21:12:55 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Update content/news/024/index.md --- content/news/024/index.md | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/content/news/024/index.md b/content/news/024/index.md index fdb7dbb87..2bb5bab46 100644 --- a/content/news/024/index.md +++ b/content/news/024/index.md @@ -321,6 +321,8 @@ release, and will hopefully be bringing good ideas and tech to the library for years to come.
