Guess, this time just set main URL to the "Version History"[0] page (as it shows all majour changes in LeoCAD v21.x in one place, including "dark color" mode introduced in `v21.01`). P.S. I just curious why in threads about GIMP[1] and Inkscape[1] releases URLs not replaced to each software homepage...

That "version history" page is just a changelog. It also doesn't make sense unless people know what the project is. The other projects you mentioned are orders of magnitude better known and have been discussed a ton on HN. In that scenario we take a completely different approach. I wrote about this at length here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23071428 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23071428. Funnily enough it happened to be in a thread about Inkscape. When a project has never been discussed before on HN, we routinely change URLs to the project home page so that people get a chance to learn about it. In the current case the project had been discussed before, but only a couple times and not since 2017—that binds more closely to the "never-discussed" scenario than the "much-discussed" one, which is why I changed the URL. If you look at the last paragraph of the post I just linked to, where it says "For obscure projects", you'll notice an explanation of exactly what I did in the current case. But the "no one is unhappy with the mods" part has now officially been falsified!
