I've added the links, a screenshot, an embed to Matt's work, and done some formatting changes. I haven't checked if Daniel missed any last-minute work, but honestly at this point I think we should just publish as-is. |
|
The YouTube video currently embedded in this post was published in last month's TMIX. I guess I could do a new one, but to publish this in a timely fashion, I suggest you remove the embed. |

It was? Sorry, I browsed through discussions on Zulip and assume it was for this month. |

Since we have now released version 0.3.0, it's probably more likely to confuse if we include this.
(I also don't think we should post this update on reddit, given how much things have changed in the past two weeks)

I've not included the shadows in my previous screenshots.

Not sure what you mean by shadows?

Changes addressed, except the one about shadows. I'm merging now. Since we won't broadcast this one anyway, I think it's fine if we do a fixup commit later if we find a last-minute error. |
In progress edition of TMIX.
I've sneakily suggested renaming to This Month in Linebender, although I expect to revert this.
