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.

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.

Verified that all is up to date via a `make update`, with
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`

`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.

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".

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 `${CWARN}` by default with a comment
suggesting that is is OK to remove that compiler flag.
The use of `cindent(1)` and `indent(1)` by the IOCCC Judges
during final round processing has been deprecated in favor
of the `clang-format(1)` tool.
Removed rules in `1337.mk` related to `cindent(1)` and `indent(1)`.
Added `make clang-format` rule to `1337.mk`.
Added `${CLANG_FORMAT}` Makefile variable to `var.mk`.

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

We released [mkiocccentry toolkit](https://github.com/ioccc-src/mkiocccentry) **version 2.4.6 2025-04-26**.
While you are **NOT** required to use this release in order to submit to **IOCCC28**,
we do **RECOMMEND** that you **install and use** it, because among other things, it provides:
* Enhanced the scanning process of topdir, excluding ignored files and directories from the count against the maximum allowed limit.
* Clarified the purpose of a submission title to emphasize that it should not contain names.
* Default handles may now contain UPPERCASE letters.
The `JSONPath.sh` has been updated (and bug fixed).

The **IOCCC28** **OPEN** period has reached the half-way point.
This is a _gentle suggestion_ to not wait until the last minute to write, test
and upload your submission.
The **IOCCC28** is [open for registration](https://www.ioccc.org/next/register.html).
Those who have registered have until **2025-06-05 04:03:02.010099 UTC** to
[upload their submissions](https://www.ioccc.org/next/submit.html).
See "[how enter the IOCCC](https://www.ioccc.org/quick-start.html#enter)" for more information.
Added processing of "%%REPO_TOP_URL%%" tokens to `bin/subst.default.sh`.

when a "%%REPO_TOP_URL%%" token is used.
Changed `bin/subst.default.sh` VERSION from "1.3.2 2024-08-05"
to "1.4.0 2025-04-16".
Changed `bin/find-missing-links.sh` VERSION from "1.1.1 2024-04-28"
to "1.2.0 2025-04-16".
Due to a `pandoc(1)` bug fix, `2011/fredriksson/index.html` and
`2012/kang/index.html` were modified. The bug fix removed extraneous
whitespace that was previously introduced into HTML under certain
situations. These 2 changes do **NOT** impact the way web browsers
render these pages, however.
Updated sitemap.
Updated tarballs based on entry mods since 2025 March 4
(commit 233e5e90a5 just prior
to the IOCCC28 open).
Tested the above via `make update` on macOS.

`2012/kang/index.html` were modified. The bug fix removed extraneous
whitespace that was previously introduced into HTML under certain
situations. These 2 changes do **NOT** impact the way web browsers
render these pages, however.
Updated sitemap.
Tested the above via `make www gen_status gen_sitemap timestamp` on macOS.
Search engines become confused when they discover pages such
as under `inc/head.default.html` that are **NOT** real pages,
but rather quasi-templates that are used by bin tools in the
generation of HTML content. So we "_Disallow_" search engine
access to URLs under `inc/` except for the two "safe" pages.
Updated `sitemap.xml` as per recent modifications.
Add news of the mkiocccentry toolkit version 2.4.4 2025-03-15.
Note that C is the official locale of the IOCCC in the IOCCC guidelines
version 28.47 2025-03-15.
