Browse Source 
Changed version from "2024-06-11-v28"
to "2024-06-15-v28'.

Changed all places where a date was used.

Improved the "XXX - date/time is TBD - XXX" message format.

Removed more stuff about tweeting that we no longer do.

Added a few missing | change marks.

As we fixed a rules typo, we went ahead and merged in a few of the
new rules that were pending.

Once we have selected the winners, for each category we will tweet:
* category name
* name(s) of the authors (or anonymous if requested)
* twitter handle(s) (if provided and if anonymity was not requested)
* country code(s) of the author(s)
After the initial announcement, we attempt to send email to the
authors of the winning entries. One reason we do this is to give
the authors a chance to comment on the way we have presented their
entry. They are given the chance to correct mistakes and typos. We
often accept their suggestions/comments about our remarks as well.
This is done prior to posting the winners to the wide world.
## An important update to how winners are announced

In addition a note is posted to the IOCCC Mastodon account
(<https://fosstodon.org/@ioccc>).
## Back to the Judging process
Judging consists of a number of elimination rounds. During a round,
the collection of entries are divided into two roughly equal piles;
the pile that advances on to the next round, and the pile that does
