  • nobody updates it's changelog.

Please see a repo - again.

IMHO lack of complete release notes/changelog on the website (even just pointing to GH releases) and sparse activity on the blog gives misleading impression of project's inactivity and might undermine _wow effect_ given by the first impression on the website (slick syntax + speed).

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

There are no release notes for 0.24.0. Nobody wrote that and maybe nobody will. The changelog is in the 0.24.0 branch, not merged to master yet. I see no problem here.

I think he means that the Crystal Website is not updated with the release for Crystal version 0.20+. As crystal is already at 0.23.1, it looks like Crystal has not had a official update in over a year ( See bottom of the page ).

RELEASE NOTES Crystal 0.20.0 released! 22 Nov 2016 Crystal 0.18.0 released! 14 Jun 2016

Those are just blog posts associated with some releases. Not every release gets a blog post.

The website is probably misleading in that sense.

I'll update it 馃槃 Just show me where, and give me access to deploy!

I think this can be closed. If there is anything to track, it should be in the crystal-website repo.
