+_The new [Game of Life example], made with Iced_
+
+Iced is an experimental cross-platform GUI library focused on simplicity and
+type-safety. Inspired by [Elm].
+
+[A new minor version] was released this month containing a bunch of
+improvements:
+
+- An OpenGL renderer powered by [`glow`] and [`glutin`]. It is an alternative to
+  the default [`wgpu`] renderer.
+- A trait-based approach to react to mouse and keyboard interactions in the
+  `Canvas` widget.
+- Basic overlay support, allowing the superposition of interactive widgets on
+  top of other widgets.
+- A drop-down selector widget built on top of the overlay support.
+- A widget that displays a QR code, powered by [`qrcode`].
+- Additional internal enhancements, like event capturing and a faster event
+  loop.
