Yeah that's sounds good and I'm happy for it to automatically send to the Col social media groups I run as like I said in the past I pretty much set them up for promoting FreeCol to general Col fans anyway haha! Like Caleb I have no idea how to set something like that up either though sadly. Hopefully the discord github action supports giving it a specific subchannel within the discord (eg the freecol subchat we've been using) otherwise god knows where it'll end up in the channel. Stian's been doing some cool stuff in that chat lately which is awesome to see as there's a few programmers there who sound tempted to join the team! Also if you guys want a private developer only subchat setup on the Col discord too for the team to communicate without snail mail delays just let me know. :) Oh and does GitHub Actions support posting to Reddit too? As FYI I also set up a 3rd Col community there too which has surprisingly actually now grown bigger than the Facebook and Discord ones!https://www.reddit.com/r/ColonizationGame/ Regards Blake On Sunday, 24 April 2022, 09:03:56 am ACST, Caleb Williams wrote: I think that's an excellent idea.

I also cannot generate the MacOS installer. The Mac bundle can be created using GitHub Actions. We can also automatically both build and publish nightly builds. Release notes can be automatically generated using commit messages (although such a commit log might not be user friendly). It's apparently even possible to automatically post messages to Discord and Facebook -- although I have not tried that before.

WRT to release notes, there is an early draft underway ( https://sourceforge.net/p/freecol/wiki/0.12.0%20Release%20Notes/ ) , albeit it is way out of date and now wrong in places. Notably we need to settle the minimum Java version. In the absence of violent opposition I will commit the well tested patch I have that takes it from 8 to 11.

I think that's an excellent idea. We should go for it. It's beyond my ability and knowledge (and perhaps access to SourceForge). Anything the developers can do to make FreeCol more accessible to the people that are playing the game, the better. Posting to Facebook and Discord would be really helpful too. *Caleb R.
