Enhancements:
Allow directories to be forwarded to the sandboxed app as command-line
arguments. This requires xdg-desktop-portal >= 1.7.0. (#6247)
Allow Flatpak apps that are conceptually part ...
I think we should have a rule to allow this kind of post only with a small summary of the update. I like to see them but sometimes the changelog is not worth a post or at least I can save a click if I know it’s a small update with just some bugfix that doesn’t concern me.
There are so many posts like this that are not worth the click, and it’s getting pretty annoying. I would love a rule that says release log dumping is prohibited. I’m all for it. 🙋♂️
The other day I posted another article[1] from linuxiac.com highlighting only important changes, and someone suggested[2] to post link to actual change log, instead of URL to 3rd party article.
Sharing release log is not all about what “I” find as interesting. It is rather a notification to all other users of the software that a list of new features or big fixes are now available.
Not all of us are actively tracking release cycle of tools we use.
Each of us have our own use cases. What I might find trivial, another person who frequent this forum might find really helpful.

I disagree with everything, but let’s focus on the quote here. It’s not that simple! I might use the software, and I would be interested in a new release if it had something exciting. But a lot of releases do not.
The very fact that “software X version Y released!” is posted here signals to me that there’s something special that you are reacting to.
It’s clear to me that you are just release dumping here though. It contributes to the noise of the community, in my personal opinion. (And in my experience, lots of people agree.)
That’s alright. You’re not forced any way to accept my opinion. And, the same applies to me as well.

Each of us have our own use case that may not align all the time. For example, I’m quite interested in literally every release of Nextcloud, Firefox,Flatpak, Docker, Invidious, Redlib and Nvidia (partially) open source driver, based on my own use case. I might not have the same level of interest in other OSS products.
Level of “Interest in a software” is a subjective matter.

The fact that an open source software, I’m interested in, is getting regular updates, and not getting abandoned is quite special to me.

Again, Thanks for your opinion.
It contributes to the noise of the community, in my personal opinion.
Just to be clear, unless there is a specific rule enforced in this forum, your opinion and my opinion are equally valid.
(And in my experience, lots of people agree.)
You don’t need to drag other in, just to prove your argument. Your own opinion should be good enough.
That’s what package managers are for, though. Or add the GitHub repo to your RSS reader if you want the details.
Lemmy is a social media, like others have mentioned in this thread I don’t mind this type of post nearly as much if the person posting adds their opinion/analysis/summary.

Today you are asking the other way around :D

That’s not what I’m asking here, I’m asking you what you find interesting about the release. :D
