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

We have a clever use of the sgit(1) to cleaver cleaver. :-)
Updated `sitemap.xml` and the `status.json` timestamp.
Ran 'make quick_www' to perform the above.
The `bin/gen-years.sh` has been updated to include the abstract of the
winning entry.
Changed `bin/gen-years.sh` VERSION from "2.1.1 2025-06-06"
ta "2.2.0 2025-07-10".
Ran `make gen_years timestamp` 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`
will be created.
Changed `bin/gen-year-index.sh` VERSION from "2.0.0 2025-03-13"
to "2.1.0 2025-07-05".
Adjusted `next/rules.md` and `next/guidelines.md` so that when they are
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.
Updated `1992/buzzard.2/index.html, `1993/rince/index.html`, and
`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.
Changed `bin/cvt-submission.sh` VERSION from "2.2.2 2025-06-30"
to "2.3.0 2025-07-02".
Rebuild all tarballs, both at the entry and the year level
due recent changes to `var.mk`, `1337.mk`, and `ioccc.css`.
Rebuild sitemap due to the changes above.
Ran `make update` to test and perform the above.
When `bin/cvt-submission.sh` needs to form a `try.sh` file,
it now uses `try.sh.judging`.
Changed `bin/cvt-submission.sh` VERSION from "2.2.1 2025-06-29"
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".
The `bin/cvt-submission.sh` tool no longer will remove selected files
when -n` is used.
The `bin/cvt-submission.sh` tool will not object if a `.gitignore` file
(put there by an IOCCC Judge) is found.
Changed `bin/cvt-submission.sh` VERSION from "2.1.0 2025-06-16"
to "2.2.0 2025-06-29".
The `bin/new-dir.sh` tool use of `sed(1)` to update the year level
Makefile has been fixed.
Changed `bin/new-dir.sh` VERSION from "2.0.2 2025-05-29"
to "2.0.3 2025-06-29".
Tested/testing using potential final round submissions.
We fix/improve the new_entry rule in `template/Makefile.year`
that is used by `bin/new-dir.sh`.
Changed `bin/new-dir.sh` VERSION from "2.0.1 2025-05-18"
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.
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`.
Created `.clang-format` to hold the IOCCC style, a style that
is somewhat similar to the Linux Kernel style.
We moved the building of an initial entry `README.md` file functionality
form `bin/cvt-submission.sh` to a new `bin/gen-readme.sh` tool.
Add `bin/gen-readme.sh` VERSION "2.0.0 2025-06-16".
Update `bin/cvt-submission.sh` to ignore while running `chkentry(1)`,
any submission top level `REDAME.md` file.
Removed unused template file `template/entry/README_md`.
Changed `bin/cvt-submission.sh` allowed minimum `chkentry(1)` VERSION from "1.1.5"
to "2.0.5".
Changed `bin/cvt-submission.sh` VERSION from "2.0.5 2025-05-18"
to "2.1.0 2025-06-16".
Update sitemap.
Tested the above via `make gen_top_html timestamp` on macOS.
Likely an artefact from before the scripts generated html files for the
website - I had two links, one for markdown, one for html, but now only
html is needed for the links.
The questions:
Can I download my submission tarball from the submit server?
Can I delete a submission from the submit server?
were added per brief discussion in IOCCC28.
This typo ended up with a wrong command (in an echo telling what to do
with modern systems - there was a space between the / and what
translates to mullender.alt).
