Yeast v1.1.4

These docs target Yeast v1.1.4.

v1.1.4 is a patch release focused on publishing the refreshed Yeast and Twarga Academy web experience as a proper stable release.

What Changed

  • the GitHub Pages landing announcement now promotes the free Twarga Academy DevOps bootcamp and links directly to the labs
  • the hero terminal now mirrors the real Yeast workflow: yeast init --template ubuntu-basic, yeast up, and yeast ssh web
  • the navbar GitHub CTA is now a polished star pill with a GitHub icon and graceful star-count fallback
  • the landing page YAML example now uses the real v1.1 instances schema
  • the Twarga Academy landing page now uses the same dark green Yeast visual system
  • Academy course pages now use Yeast green accents instead of the previous purple palette
  • release docs, installer defaults, update examples, and smoke-test docs now target v1.1.4
