Too fresh for freshmeat.net

Yesterday Sylpheed-Claws version 2.2.1 was released. This was a bug-fix release from the stable branch, details of the fixes can be found in the release notes. As per usual, I updated the freshmeat.net project listing.

Today we discovered (and fixed) a failing in the URI check which protects against phishing attacks, and, feeling that this was nasty enough, we promptly released version 2.2.2, (release notes). So I duly updated the freshmeat.net project page again. Shortly afterwards I received a mail from freshmeat saying, 'Since this project has had a front page announcement within the last few days, this second release will not appear on the front page'. We're too fresh for freshmeat!!

UPDATE: It seemed strange that a project could be too fresh to be included on the front page, but the release announcement has also not been included in the daily freshmeat newsletter, that just doesn't seem right.

    Yes - Especially since 2.2.2 is a security-fix release. Well, Freshmeat isn't known for their team's great editing abilities, anyway.
