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.
'an successful' -> 'a successful'.
There is possibly another typo but I have to verify what the judges
meant.
Rebuilt index.html. I hope to make some reductions in text in the coming
days. I also have another fun update planned so people can see just how
wild the gotos are. I hope to do that sometime soon too.
Anders Kaare Straadt had two labels, one of them wrong.
Participants:
Anders_Kaare_Straadt: label straadt
Anders_Kaare_Straadt: label anders
Sebastian Macke: label macke
The fix is the following:
dir anders -> fix dir to macke and fix author
dir straat -> fix author
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
We indent FAQ 10.6.1, added in a previous commit, in the
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.
It is not clear, as the FAQ shows for now, whether this works with just
desktop/computers or not - it is only possible to enable it on computers
(or if it's possible in mobile devices I did not see it though I only
checked with an iPhone).
This FAQ should probably be linked to in the guidelines later on as
right now it says that one should reload the feed as you do not get
notifications unless you are mentioned (assuming you have push
notifications enabled). As one of the pending changes post winners being
announced (02 August 2025 at 11 Pacific) is to clean up the guidelines,
rules and maybe the FAQ (that was rushed towards the end so as to not
delay IOCCC28 even longer) I have not done this.
Rebuilt faq.html. New image under png/.
FAQ version: 28.2.21 2025-07-31.
Added news for **2025-07-30** with the scheduled the date for the IOCCC
Awards Presentation and Source Code Reveal for IOCCC28 to be on 2025
August 02 11:00 (11AM) Pacific.
We add `make news` to the top level `Makefile.
Ran `make news timestamp` to perform the above.
We improve the text in the top level `social.html` page.
Added a number of missing files to the sitemap.
Changed `bin/gen-sitemap.sh` VERSION from "2.0.1 2025-04-28"
to "2.0.2 2025-07-30".
Ran `make social sitemap` to perform the above.
Prepare for the winners of **IOCCC28**.
> However these are not the 2024 droids you are looking for. :-)
The HTML menu (both JavaScript and non-JavaScript) has been updated.
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.
Add `important disclaimers about contest status` link to `status.html`.
Update `years.html` due to recent commit that fixed typo for abstract of 2011/akari.
Improve `template/README.md.year` for future IOCCC contents.
Ran `make quick_www` to perform the above.
Typo fix in 2020/ferguson2/index.html
