This thread is going to include archives of the articles that have been published on new.dotslashplay.it, our old blog unmaintained since 2021 and that we are going to take down, so they stay available.
These are copies of the original Markdown sources (re-writing them for the Fediverse would take too much time), so you can expect the rendering to be a bit funky in places.
Another thread including the original articles in French (the articles in English are translations of the French ones) can be found here: https://fediverse.dotslashplay.it/snac/playit/p/1735226879.549466
The oldest articles are only available in French, as we did not translate the first ones into English.

Article initially published on 2020-05-09 and titled "./play.it 2.11.4 bugfix release":
Hello World!
A new ./play.it release went live last night, and there was great rejoicing amongst all players using libre operating systems ;)
And now, let us see what this new 2.11.4 release brings with it…
[#]## Changelog
The modifications that this new version brings are published on the forge that is dedicated to ./play.it development, in release notes: [2.11.4 bugfix release]
A copy follows:
ArchLinux:** Fix bugs in dependencies handling
Debian:** Fix APT version detection with APT ≥ 2.0.0
Debian:** Enforce correct permissions for packages metadata
Gentoo:** Update download link for quickunpkg
[#]## Website update
Alongside this list of fixes, ./play.it website has been updated, the most important changes being the merge of the two domains www.dotslashplay.it and wiki.dotslashplay.it, as well as the addition of an English presentation of ./play.it.
This updated website, based on [DokuWiki], is available in two languages:
In addition to this update to the software description, usage instructions have been reworked to make them less intimidating for newcomers. Here are examples served through archive.org that should make it easy to see the improvement:
This new template is still far from being applied for all supported games, but should be used by all future updates of the website.
[#]## Distributions documentation
Last noticeable improvement coming with this update, new documentation articles have been submitted to some distributions that provide a package to install ./play.it. These can be found on the following pages:
[#]## Whatʼs next?
2.11.4 version should (hopefully) be the last of the 2.11.x series, the next release being 2.12, an update that is coming with quite a lot of new features. For the most curious (or most impatient) amongst you, this new version is under preparation on our forge: [WIP: 2.12 release]
This 2.12 version is probably the one that has spent most time under development, with features that got developed as far back as November 2018!
