THQ Nordic has released a demo for Epic Mickey Rebrushed that offers gameplay up until the boat ride in the first section of the game.

Here's the trailer for the demo on YouTube: youtu.be/P0xHpwEKPYc

As a reminder, the full game releases in one month, on Sepetember 24th.

Copied from linked post:

I'm very happy to announce the release of htmx 2.0. This release ends support for Internet Explorer and tightens up some
defaults, but does not change most of the core functionality or the core API of the library.

Note that we are not marking 2.0 as latest in NPM
because we do not want to force-upgrade users who are relying on non-versioned CDN URLs for htmx. Instead, 1.x will
remain latest and the 2.0 line will remain next until Jan 1, 2025. The website, however, will reference 2.0.

Major Changes

• All extensions have been moved out of the core repository to their own repo
  and website: https://extensions.htmx.org. They are now all versioned individually and can be developed outside of
  the normal (slow) htmx release cadence.

  • Most 1.x extensions will work with 2.x, however the SSE extension did have a break and must be upgraded.
  • The older extensions remain in the /dist/ext directory so as to not break the URLs of CDNs like unpkg, but please
    move to the new extension URLs going forward

• We removed the deprecated hx-sse and hx-ws attributes in favor of the extensions, which were available and
  recommended in 1.x.

• HTTP DELETE requests now use parameters, rather than form encoded bodies, for their payload (This is in accordance w/ the spec.)

• We now provide specific files in /dist for the various JavaScript module styles:

  • ESM Modules: /dist/htmx.esm.js
  • AMD Modules: /dist/htmx.amd.js
  • CJS Modules: /dist/htmx.cjs.js
  • The /dist/htmx.js file continues to be browser-loadable

• The hx-on attribute, with its special syntax, has been removed in favor of the less-hacky hx-on: syntax.

Minor Changes

• We made some default changes:
  • htmx.config.scrollBehavior was changed to 'instant' from 'smooth'
  • As mentioned previously, DELETE requests now use query parameters, rather than a form-encoded body. This can
    be reverted by setting htmx.methodsThatUseUrlParams to the value ['get'],
  • htmx.config.selfRequestsOnly now defaults to true rather than false

Features

Not much, really:

• The selectAndSwap() internal API method was replaced with the public (and much better) swap() method
• Web Component support has been improved dramatically
• And the biggest feature of this release: the website now supports dark mode! (Thanks @pokonski!)

If you require IE compatibility, the 1.x will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future.

This post doesn't directly affect kbin.social users, but it is relevant. It discusses some of the potential pros/cons of Kbin and the pros/cons of Mbin, and also the direction the kbin.earth server is heading.

go1.22.2 (released 2024-04-03) includes a security fix to the net/http package, as well as bug fixes to the compiler, the go command, the linker, and the encoding/gob, go/types, net/http, and runtime/trace packages. See the Go 1.22.2 milestone on our issue tracker for details.

Recently, I've noticed federated threads/comments/votes were lagging behind, and it turns out kbin.earth was being spammed (hundreds in a minute, leading to a couple thousand queued messages after only half an hour) by a Lemmy server with the same exact activity pub message. After blocking the server (feddit.de), federation should now work correctly. If the admins of the server ever fix the issue, I'll be glad to unblock it.

Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

I don't have a lot to say this time, but here's the biggest Interstellar update we've had so far. This update includes almost full support for Lemmy (notification viewing, direct messages, and post creation don't work yet though), there's a new user/magazine mentions feature, user profile pages now let you view a user's comments and follows, and even more listed below. Additionally, Interstellar is now out on Google Play to the public. Here's the full list of new features and fixes that were included in this update:

New

• General Lemmy support, including account login, feed view, voting, commenting, viewing communities, viewing user profiles, searching, and more. The main features not included in this release are viewing notifications, viewing/interacting with direct messages, and creating new posts. Thanks @jwr1 and @olorin99.
• Support for editing your user profile, including the about and uploading a new profile avatar and banner; thanks @olorin99.
• Huge improvements to the user screen, including being able to view a user's threads, microblogs, comments, replies, follows, and followers; thanks @olorin99.
• A new user/magazine mention feature; if a user/magazine mention is detected in markdown, it tries to fetch the corresponding avatar and name and allows you to click to view the user/magazine page if available.
• Support for blocking users, magazines, and domains.
• Support for reporting posts and comments.
• Show a copy button on the open link dialog.
• Show an option for posts and comments to open them in a browser.
• Add local filter to magazines explore.

Fixes

• Add post/comment deletion confirmation.
• Fix account list sorting to go by host, then the local name.
• Fix the coloring for the subscribe button so it's easier to tell when you're subscribed or not.
• Hide the error snack bar for several common errors, including render layout issues and image loading issues.
• Fix empty search error from the search screen.

Just as a side note, those who have the app previously installed will need to re-signin into their accounts and might need to clear their app data if the app doesn't start up, as a few changes have been made with the way accounts are stored.
