That seems a trifle petty: Just skimming through the list of updates and I'm already impressed by the content, and I've not even gotten to the fixes yet. There is no "one-liner" that will capture this, save perhaps something near-linkbaity like "git 2.2.0 - almost a hundred contributors, 20 brand new, with dozens of updates and dozes of fixes! Whew!" Having said that, the announcement of a point release like this isn't the place to appeal to those who are not git users: This notice is aimed squarely at those who are git users and need to know whether or not they should upgrade. Marketing communication is all about understanding your market, its segments, and the messaging each segment needs. This announcement isn't for newbies or notbies. If there is a grain of truth in your comment, then it is that a separate announcement is needed, a more general press release, aimed perhaps at the wider community, to whit: Team responsible for world's most popular distributed revisioning system announces update Git, the world's most popular distributed revisioning system, has been updated, according to announcements released this morning to the development community. The new release features contributions from over 70 contributors, 20 of whom mark their git release debut. This version, dubbed 2.2.0, contains approximately two dozen fixes to the 2.1 release as well as several dozen backwards-compatible new features. The development team is thrilled and proud of their work and eagerly awaits community feedback. <Insert standard description of git here> <Insert list of major git projects here> <Insert upgrade roadmaps for GitHub and other git-as-a-service providers> <Insert standard description of revision control here> <Insert standard "considering switching to git? look here"?> <Insert standard "new to git? look here"> (All of the above CC-BY-SA, feel free to use as desired.)
