  Why is this on the HN front page? Is there something particularly noteworthy about this release?

    The noted resumption and likely a small amount of halo effect from the Comparison of Malloc() Algorithms thread two / three days ago.

    I just checked whether it's the first release after Jason Evans stepped down as maintainer, but it isn't. That was the previous release, 5.3.1
