  • I got tired of posting release announcements to my blog so I just emailed the announcements to the redland-dev list, tweeted a link to it from @dajobe and announced it on Freshmeat which a lot of places still pick up..

    Here are the tweets for the 13 releases I didn't blog since the start of 2011:

    • 3 Jan: Released Raptor RDF syntax library 2.0.0 at http://librdf.org/raptor/ only 10 years in the making :)

    (yes 13; I didn't tweet 2 of them: Rasqal 0.9.24 and Raptor 2.0.2)

    You know it's quite tricky to collapse months of changelogs (GIT history) into release notes, compress it further into a news summary of a few lines and even harder to compress that into less than 140 characters. It is way less if you include room for a link url and space for retweeting and sometimes need a hashtag for context.

    So how do you measure a release? Let's try!

    Barchart of %diffs between tarball releases. Noticeable differences are raptor 2.0.0 with a big negative change and rasqal 0.9.22 with largest increase.

    Releases that stand out here are Raptor 2.0.0 which was a major release with lots of changes and Rasqal 0.9.21; that changed a lot upwards and it was both an API break as well as lots of new functionality.

    Again Raptor 2.0.0 stands out as changing a huge number of files and lines. Also you can see the mistake that was Raptor 2.0.1 being corrected the same day with Raptor 2.0.2 with a few changes. This didn't seem to get tweeted. However also note that several of the Rasqal releases like 0.9.22 and 0.9.26 changed many files. The 'source lines net' column is the addition of the insert and deletes although some of those lines are the same.

    So now we get to words. Yes, lots of words, most of them by me. Starting with the changelog which is a hand edited version of the SVN and later GIT changes was over 15K words for Raptor 2.0.0. And that gets boiled down lots into release notes, news and then a terse tweet. Since the changelog corresponds roughly to source changes but the news to user visible changes like APIs, you can see that the oddities are again Rasqal 0.9.26 where there were lots of changes but not so much news; it was mostly internal work.

    Now I need to go summarise this blog post in a tweet: Releases = Tweets in 1156 words http://bit.ly/n88ZIQ
