Hi! I recently did receive a mail asking me not to send so many announcements to the list. On the one hand I think that this is a good interjection but on the other hand it collides with the 'release often' commandment. I did announce the several versions of Periodic.rb not because I did want to flood the list but because they did significantly change: 0.1 -> 0.2 did mean a transition did add multi-language support 0.2 -> 0.3 was a transition from ISO 8859-1 to UTF-8 0.4 -> 0.4 did add support for alternative spellings of element names Is there some 'best current practice' for the frequency of announcements?
