Today marks the ninety-seventh anniversary of the opening of the Roxy Theater in New York City, which you’ve probably heard of despite owners demolishing it sixty-four years ago. In 1927, with almost six thousand seats, it stood as the world’s largest movie theater.

I know. March has the worst holidays, and only barely usable anniversaries. At this rate, by the end of the month, I’ll need to talk about somebody’s birthday…

Anyway, let’s get to the week’s projects.

I noticed that, somehow in my haste, I didn’t add the Material Design regular expression icon to the repository. Therefore, this week, I broke with my only-going-to-update-libraries plan to fix that oversight.

As an unfortunate side effect, I now have a pile of tiny images floating around the application directory with no organization. I’ll need to think about fixing that, at some point.

Library Updates

As mentioned recently, I needed to bump library versions for Bicker, Fýlakas Onomáton, Generic Board Game, Ham Newsletter, Renewal Database, Scan Data, Slackup, and Zoea.

Next

I’ll almost certainly continue clearing out the backlog of library version updates.
