Posts

A post is a blog post associated with a specific date. See the Pages entry for some general introduction into how Jekyll sites are structured.

The date, when a post is to be published, is set via the file name of a new post. Setting a date in the future allows scheduling posts.

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)
• The category must be set as "news", so the generated links all have /news/ in front of them.
• 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)
