+[macroquad] is a cross-platform (Windows/Linux/macOS/Android/iOS/WASM)
+game framework built on top of [miniquad].
+This month's updates:
+
+- The source code of the previously announced [particles editor][particles-web]
+  got [released][particles-source].
+
+- A new `telemetry` module was introduced exposing
+  the frame timing data to any third-party visualisation tool.
+  For in-game profiling data visualisation the `macroquad-profiler` crate
+  is available.
+
+  [A new book chapter "Profiling" was released][profiling-blog]
+  with more information on the subject.
+
+- `physics-platformer` is a new optional crate based on Maddy Thorson's
+  ["Celeste and TowerFall Physics" blogpost][celeste-physics] on platformers physics:
+  [web demo][platformer-web], [source code][platformer-source].
+
+- Also, macroquad was featured in the episode
+  of the [Rust GameDev Podcast][macroquad-interview].
