+
+[miniquad] is a safe and cross-platform rendering library
+focused on portability and low-end platform support.
+
+This month [OpenGl 2.1/GLESv2][gl2pr] PR got merged, adding support for old
+android phones, virtual machines, and just old computers.
+
+While the PR itself is quite small, it solved a very old design issue:
+[compatibilities proposal][mqcompat]. Fixing this issue opened the door for
+both lower-end backends, like gl1, and higher-level backends. Metal being the
+next in line.
