And they say only Rust makes it to the front page of HN. More seriously is this release particularly notable in the COBOL world? I know very little about the language and I find it odd to find the Changelog of a minor release at the top of the frontpage.

GnuCOBOL seems to be the de-facto standard COBOL implementation on Unix-like platforms these days, so (at least) it is a notable software. They seem to have no actual blog, so the changelog is the best news link I could come up with...

  I don't think this is the de-facto standard, probably moreso Microfocus, or perhaps NetCobol.

    Microfocus dominates on Windows, and rightfully so. Integrating .NET with COBOL was a very good idea for both them and their clients.

      They also have the Java version.

  Nope, that place is reserved for MicroFocus and Fujistu.
