#How "stale" is zig.guide?

Hi there, I wrote Zig a couple of years ago but haven't written it for a while. So I wanted to refresh my knowledge and found that https://zig.guide was mentioned as a good resource. However, it seems like it's written for Zig 0.13 while the latest is 0.15.2, and I also heard that 0.15 had some big changes. So I'm wondering if learning Zig through zig.guide is still a good approach, or should I do something else to catch up with 0.15.2.

Get started with the Zig programming language. Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

I recomend looking at the release notes 0.14 0.15

also the 0.15 std docs on the website are out of sync, use zig std to run the docs locally which will be in sync with the std you have downloaded.
you can probaby skim through zig.guide, most of the syntax is the same, though the std stuff is definately out of date. Do that before you read the release notes.

I am mostly assuming you were somewhat familiar with zig, if you werent/dont feel like you are any more then do ziglings (make sure you switch to a tag for your zig version)

lastly there will be more big changes when 0.16 lands.

I can also give the highlights, or answer any questions here.
