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.

View on HN

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.

I'd rather have a few bevy posts every month than the daily deluge of AI articles.

Sure but I can't see how such a trade is either possible or on offer - it's one of the things discussed in the modsplanation blob.

The issue is that that refers to "Show HN" posts. If some engaged dev posts your updates, how is thst different from spamming every Opeani update? That's just organic interest, given that this is the one of the most well known Rust game engines, a mix of two topics that traditionally get attention here

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”).

Please reread it yourself: this isn't a “show HN” submission.

And as you can see, the criteria is “Whether or not it contains significant new information (SNI)” which is indeed exactly the opposite of what you are saying.
