+
+[ggez] is a 2D game framework inspired by Love2D.  We're chugging
+along getting everything prepared for a 0.6 release at the end of 2020,
+and a lot of work has been done in the last month:
+
+- All major dependencies have been updated, including a long-overdue
+  update to `winit` 0.23
+- Over a dozen pull requests have been merged, large and small
+- A bunch of old issues have been cleaned up
+
+Major features to look forward to include far better math performance, a
+`MeshBatch` type, better ergonomics on Linux Wayland, and more.  There's
+lots of work still to be done though.  A bunch of issues are out of date
+and need triage, docs need to be proofread, and especially examples need
+be updated and tested on every platform imaginable.  Try out the `devel`
+branch and give it a go!
