I did click -- but only because a previous comment made it seem like Lodash was something related to functional programming. If it hadn't been for that comment, I have ignored the post, because I wouldn't have had a clue WTH Lodash was.
Now, sure, people who've already used or heard of Lodash are going to know, but they're probably already following it on Github. :-) The unwashed masses like me won't have any idea.
I guess the key here is to try to make the title give some indication of what the thing is.
[edit] Changelog is there https://github.com/lodash/lodash/wiki/Changelog
Some decisions sound really weird, such as the fact that forEach is now lazy. It is not a standard replacement anymore, and probably break the compatibility for quite a few apps (even if I'm deeply convinced that we should all use the native functions and shim them when needed).
// in 2.4.1
_([1, 2, 3]).forEach(function(n) { console.log(n); });
// => logs each value from left to right and returns the lodash wrapper
// in 3.0.0
_([1, 2, 3]).forEach(function(n) { console.log(n); });
// => returns the lodash wrapper without logging until `value` is called
_([1, 2, 3]).forEach(function(n) { console.log(n); }).value();
// => logs each value from left to right and returns the array
