Part of #912

A contributor asked for a little more time to finish their section, so I reverted last night's release PR. Here it is again - changes from last night are:

• Graphite section has been added to 'Tooling Updates' (the image was broken so I've fixed as part of this PR).
• A few extra bullet points have been added to Bevy Cheatbook's section.
• I snuck in a tweak to the formatting on horizontal rules, as it's been bothering me for months how cramped they look 😄

⏰ Planning to get this merged at around 9PM GMT (three and a half hours from now), assuming no issues found.

Going to have to push this back till tomorrow as I'm dealing with my second work callout of the evening... fun times 😅

I just noticed a broken link in the rafx post.

This:

[video demonstrating TAA](rafx-youtube-video)

should be:

[video demonstrating TAA][rafx-youtube-video]

I can PR this in a few hours (or feel free to slip it in if that's the easiest way to fix it.)

@aclysma: I'll just fix it here, thanks for the heads up!

I just noticed a broken link in the rafx post.

Nice catch! Might be good to set up some regex like \[[^\[\]]+?\]\([^()]+?\) to detect that as part of the build process, or at least as a step in the release process to check for that.

[aclysma]

There are legitimate cases for the first syntax so I’d expect detecting this sort of mistake would require something more sophisticated (like actual dead-link checking).

I do think running the rendered page through a link checker during final review wouldn’t be a bad idea but I’m hesitant to suggest anything that adds more burden on editors who are already volunteering a lot of time.

[17cupsofcoffee]

I actually think Zola might have some kind of link checker built in, I'll do a bit of digging into that after this newsletter's done.

Several shaders experimental shaders have been added, along with a "point glow" which help lanterns look better.
