Fixed all cases where `TZ=UTZ` was incorrectly used
and replaced with `TZ=UTC`.

to "2.0.3 2025-08-23".
Changed `bin/tar-entry.sh` VERSION from "2.0.0 2025-03-13"

The commit a1c86c8a7a modified
the navigation bars to include "Original C", so all tarballs
had be update, sorry (tm Canada 🇨🇦). In particular:
The navigation bar for a winning entry now has a "_Original C_" link
(between the ✅ and the Inventory on the right hand side) so that one
may easily view the original C code that was submitted for IOCCC judging.
In addition, a number of other commits since that time
modified other winning entries.
Ran `make update` to perform the above.

Ran `make www timestamp` to perform the above.
Update news to announce YouTube links.
Update tarballs for all of 2024 as well as a recent 2012 update.
Update sitemap.
Ran `make update` to perform the above.
We improve `prog.c` beyond the 4M byte patch to reach 64M bytes.
The `try.sh` is made more robust, detecting both compiler and
executable problems that are **NOT** bugs in the code.
The code is now declared **INABIAF - please DO NOT fix**.
A detailed description of compiler, linker and resource
issues has been added to the `README.md` and `index.html`.
With commit fd483c2bed, all
try scripts now use:
```
MAKE=$(command -v gmake)
${MAKE:=make} CC="$CC" all >/dev/null || exit 1
```
to find `gmake(1)` and if not `make(1)` to make.
This commit updates the next and template try scripts accordingly.
We swapped `2024/anders` and `2024/straadt` by accident.
Sorry (tm Canada 🇨🇦) about that!
We **SINCERELY APOLOGIZE** to both **Anders Kaare Straadt**
and **Sebastian Macke** for the mix up!
We normalized some of the `.gitignore` files for some
of the 2024 winning entries.
Rebuilt 2024 tar files.
Updated `sitemap.xml`.
Ran `make update` to perform the above.

Ran `make update` to perform the above.
new file: 2024/burton/.entry.json

same way we indent 3rd level FAQ numbers. Also adjusted
the vertical whitespace around the FAQ in `faq.md` to
be consistent with the other FAQ sections.
Updated sitemap.
Ran `make faq sitemap` to perform the above.
Added news for **2025-07-30** with the scheduled the date for the IOCCC

The `Status -> Rules and guidelines' have been replaced with two
separate menus `Status -> IOCCC rules` and `Status -> IOCCC guidelines`.
Added a new top level `social.html` page: built from a new `social.md`.
Sorted rules for building specific web pages in the top level `Makefile`.
Added `make social` to make the `social.html` page from `social.md`.
The `bin/gen-top-html.sh` now is able to process a argument of **social**
to process the new top level `social.html` page.
Changed `bin/gen-top-html.sh` VERSION from "2.0.0 2025-03-13"
to "2.0.1 2025-07-25".
Below `About -> Home page` a new `About -> IOCCC social media` menu item
as added.
Because the menu change touched every HTML file, we changed the general
copyright date range for HTML files from "1984-2024" to "1984-2025"
due to the extensive changes made for **IOCCC28**.
Those markdown files that were modified in 2025 had their copyright date
range also changed from "1984-2024" to "1984-2025".
Rebuilt tarballs and sitemap due to the extensive HTML rebuilding.
Ran `make update` to perform the above.
We add `make clang-format` to the Makefile tree.

the exception of the `sitemap.xml` which references the few
recent tarballs that were built during the previous commit.
FYI: The full `make update` took:
make update 1263.80s user 310.88s system 96% cpu 27:10.20 total
Ran 'make update' to perform the above.
Adjusted `bin/md2html.cfg` to allow for the creation of year level
archive of the rules and guidelines that were in effect when the given
year's content opened for submissions.
We improved `bin/gen-year-index.sh` so that if there exists
a `YYYY/rules.md` rules archive, then `YYYY/rules.html`
will be created.
We improved `bin/gen-year-index.sh` so that if there exists
a `YYYY/guidelines.md` rules archive, then `YYYY/guidelines.html`
will be created.
Changed `bin/gen-year-index.sh` VERSION from "2.0.0 2025-03-13"
to "2.1.0 2025-07-05".

copied as archived copies of rules and guidelines under a YYYY directory,
the internal links do not break. There are **NO** changes to the readable
contents of the rules and guidelines, only some changes to a few internal links.

`2012/omoikane/index.html that were modified by recent commits.
Rebuild sitemap due to the changes above.
Ran `make www` to test and perform the above.
The `display_as` field in an `.entry_json` file must match
the regex `^[a-z][0-9a-z]*$` now. This is needed to reduce
errors during the final round while converting a potential
submission to entry form.
Modify `1992/buzzard.2/.entry.json` and
`1993/rince/.entry.json` to change `display_as` field
to use lower case.
Correct `2012/omoikane/.entry.json` to correctly
reflect changes made by commit 2955e5d07e
and commit 2955e5d07e.
Change `bin/cvt-submission.sh` to verify that the `display_as`
matches the above regex.

When `bin/cvt-submission.sh` needs to form a `try.sh` file,
it now uses `try.sh.judging`.

to "2.2.2 2025-06-30".
Modified `bin/cvt-submission.sh` to use `chkentry(1)` on
submissions that are about to be converted into an entry,
by using `-P` to ignore permissions. We also ignore any
`.DS_Store` files found as they will not be committed to
the repo (because of the top level `.gitignore` file).
Changed `bin/cvt-submission.sh` VERSION from "2.2.0 2025-06-29"
to "2.2.1 2025-06-29".

to "2.0.2 2025-05-29".
Tested/testing using potential final round submissions.
Added `template/entry/Makefile.judging`, a Makefile that is
similar to `next/Makefile.example` except that it is
more suitable for IOCCC judging, especially during
the final rounds of judging.
By mistake in a few previous commits, some useful explanatory
and example comments were removed.
Add comments that will be useful for IOCCC29 and beyond.
Remove `${GINDENT}` and add `${RMDIR}` Makefile variables.
We update `next/Makefile.example` as per needs of IOCCC
final judging rounds.
Improved a few "XXX" comments.
Add `-pedantic` to `${CWARN}` by default with a comment
suggesting that is is OK to remove that compiler flag.
The use of `cindent(1)` and `indent(1)` by the IOCCC Judges
during final round processing has been deprecated in favor
of the `clang-format(1)` tool.

Fixed a bug that was introduced into `bin/subst.entry-index.sh`
where the value `$HTML_SED` was set too early. Shell functions
variables are evaluated when they are executed, not when they
are first parsed. So exported variables used by a shell function
need to be set only before the shell function is executed.
Checkpoint `bin/cvt-submission.sh` as part of our testing.
Set file modes of 0444 for when `.auth.json` is formed from `.auth.json.xz`.
The awk scripts under bin put their name (basename) into error
messages to make it easier to debug any error they might raise.
