+====== Update Notice ======
+Will find a time to revisit the Magazines, for now you can find the showcase videos on the Discord.
+--- //[[members:MrValentine:MrValentine]] 2024/04/20 03:50//
+While I wanted to keep the magazine at 32 pages and maintain around 28 pages of content, well 26 when you ignore the index pages, hmm I should change that, I have opted to reduce the number of pages to 20, allowing for 16 pages of content going forward for now, this change is to allow me to focus on the content more, and as the magazine is mainly digital only, I figured it would not be too much of a problem going forward. the 32 pages was a full time job role for a week.
+I hope readers do not mind this change, but I am becoming more and more busy.
+In background news, you may have noticed the website was down over the weekend just recent --- //[[members:MrValentine:MrValentine]] 2023/11/28 10:07// and was a result of an issue with my previous host, I have since migrated both the domain and the hosting package to a new host, the domain transfer is still pending, but fully functional at present, I will update this with the expiry date as I believe due to a transfer fee, has now been extended to 2025, the new hosting price is more feasible going forward.
+More at 11.
+Update: --- //[[members:MrValentine:MrValentine]] 2023/12/15 13:16//
+The domain has completed transfer and is paid up until 26-Jul-2025, hosting is currently paid monthly on an annual contract.
+An additional bit of insight, I have opted to **reduce the frequency of the Magazine**, to a **quarterly publication**, so, the next release will be in __**March 2024**__, as always on the 18th. Also, I have opted to allow the page count to be dynamic but always maintain a power of two page count.
+The reasoning for the reduction in frequency is so that I may put time into the wiki and enhance its content, things are changing and uncertain at present with the Windows development ecosystem, so, I have opted to drop down to Desktop development via DirectX, so, any and all content will be focussed on that route going forward.
+Now, to push out the 4th release.
