Even with releases of CPython (arguably the primary point of this list) it wouldn't hurt to give an explanation, and certainly with other Pythons, it'd help a lot (PyPy and Jython are probably guessable, but I wouldn't bet on anyone knowing what "IronPython" is without a summary). > Here are a few randomly selected examples of good release announcements: > > http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-announce-list/2012-June/009528.html > > http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-announce-list/2012-June/009509.html > > http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-announce-list/2012-June/009524.html Agreed, those are worth imitating.
