Know how we proudly advertise our service as "no tracking" on our website? We're now one step closer to fully keeping that promise. Thanks to @SISheogorath, our homepage no longer makes third party requests to Google Fonts!

Quick heads up: our @github milestone and @dependabot badges no longer have embedded hyperlinks by default. Unless you use the badge in an <object> HTML tag, you should be unaffected. Otherwise simply add a 'link' query param as explained in our shields.io homepage!

If you host your own instance of Shields, please be aware that we're dropping support for configuration specified inside .env files. Instead, you'll need to either use good old environment variables or a config/local.yml file, as documented here: github.com/badges/shields/bl…

Big thanks to @masonsciotti and @notnotnight! I recently worked with them on improving the @discord integration with @Shields_io, they were both very helpful and friendly. Keep up the good work! 👏

Quite a lot of developers use video platforms to share tutorials, presentations, coding sessions, etc. We now have a @YouTube badge for you! Check it out! img.shields.io/youtube/likes…

The @Shields_io documentation is one of the best I have seen. A README with clear instructions on how to start working on the project, contributing guidelines pointing to a tutorial, coding guidelines and even a high-level code walkthrough. Everything I needed and more, bravo!

We've just published an important security fix for self-hosting users. If you host your own instance of Shields, upgrade now. Users of shields.io are unaffected. If you know of anyone self-hosting Shields, please spread the word! github.com/badges/shields/is…
