Effectively a dupe - this just got attention 3 months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39672947, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39677009) and 8 months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38144417).

Once a year has been suggested as the typical maximum frequency: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9775868 . Consider reposting in 2025.

Also, coordinating comments and upvotes won’t do you any favors. It’s an easy way to get all submissions banned.

This is _not_ a repost from our perspective. This is a massive new chunk of features and content (993 pull requests from 256 contributors) including new hot-topic features like Virtual Geometry.

The GP comment is a bit overstated (I doubt anyone is going to ban Bevy posts) but Bevy has had plenty of recent exposure on HN and most release posts are moderated away on HN because the discussion is almost always about the project in general rather than the release, unless the changes are truly monumental.

A long modsplanation here:

That's your last three releases plus something about a foundation, in the last year alone. It's great it's getting traction but it's also quite a bit more than most other projects as it is.

Please reread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9775868. It says one year since it received significant attention, not one year except when a massive chunk of features and content is added. Dan explicitly addresses that case (“but that only applies after the "significant attention" test has been passed”).

> to qualify as a new Show HN there needs to be some major new development, not just a new feature

One could argue a major version qualifies. Apart from the genuine dupe 3 months ago all of these are separate stories.

dang's comment also specifically covers "show hn" posts which this is not. Some clarification from dang would be helpful though.

[troydavis]

Your quote omits the portion where Dan explicitly addressed that case. It needs to be one year since it received “significant attention,” and also major new development. Dan’s post could be worded more clearly, though.

(We’re pretty far in the weeds here, but as long as we’re here – for all intents and purposes, this is a show HN.)

What a bad faith comment. How is a new version announcement a dupe? If you don’t care then you don’t have to comment.

Don’t rely on my assessment, go read https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9775868. If you disagree, don’t tell me, suggest an improvement to Dan.

Wait until you realize Rust new version makes it to the front page every 6 weeks… (It's a bit less true these days because Rust release are much more boring than they used to, but it was definitely the case just a couple years back)
