At this point I really do not know what to make of your posts in this thread. You were asking for a list of changes in a release. We pointed you to the ChangeLog, but you told us that you would merely skim it. And now you tell me, you would prefer to read even longer technical documentation... You keep suggesting the Linuxbrew GitHub issue as an example. However, 99% of the posts in this issue consist of just "Linuxbrew X.Y.Z has been released!". Then follows a link to the ChangeLog. This is exactly what our post to macports-announce or the news section on the website contain: a link to the ChangeLog. The notes for MacPorts releases on GitHub now even have a copy of the relevant ChangeLog section. Furthermore, Linuxbrew is using an issue on GitHub to post announcements. How does this even make any sense? Why would you prefer following this over just subscribing to a mailing list or following an RSS feed? > than follow two mailing lists. Not sure what you mean by this. I suggested that *you* write the newsletter. Make it a "blog post" or "news feed", or even a "issue comment". Nobody is holding you back. Of course the weekly interval was just a suggestion; that is up to you as the author. Rainer
