## Staying up-to-date
We have a [official website for imag](https://imag-pim.org), where I post
[release notes](http://imag-pim.org/releases/) and monthly(ish) updates what's
happening in the source tree ([RSS here](https://imag-pim.org/index.xml)).
We also have a [mailinglist](https://imag-pim.org/mailinglist/) where I post
updates and where discussion and questions are encouraged.
## Documentation
This is a hobby project, so sometimes things are not optimal and might go

Developer documentation is also available
[online on github.io](https://matthiasbeyer.github.io/imag/imag_documentation/index.html)
and [on docs.rs](https://docs.rs/releases/search?query=imag), though they might
be a bit outdated.
It might not be up to date, though.
Developer documentation for the last release is available
