I think a major release after 6 months is probably ok for a new thread - part of the problem here was the title since the topic is framed as "project as a whole" rather than "diff from last time".

Can you guys suggest a good title that summarizes the latter?

I guess standard HN practice here would be to include the version number in the title (thus implying that the diff is 'a new release') while still clarifying what the project is for users who are new to it.

Since gaspb posted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41302475 first, I think maybe we'll merge the thread thither. (Sorry ibraheemdev! it's on our list to eventually implement some sort of credit/karma sharing for cases like this.)
