Some meta discussion: &quot;xyz reaches&#x2F;releases version number 234234.324234&quot; is entirely meaningless and the best way to ensure that nobody will care about your release announcement. Your project may internally have a very well defined and entirely logical policy as to how exactly to change version numbers based on internal project changes, but from the outside this is 100% untrustable and invisible, meaning your 2.0 release could mean anything from &quot;we rewrote the entire thing&quot; or &quot;a set amount of time went by&quot; (see Firefox&#x2F;Perl&#x2F;probably others).<p>If you actually care at all about your release announcement being read, include in the title line the actual benefit the new version provides to people.
