The Release Radar is a post written on the GitHub blog each month to showcase community projects that have shipped major version releases. A post is shipped at the start of the month showcasing community projects from the previous month.
If you're a maintainer, or a contributor on an open source project, and you have a major version release that shipped, we'd love to hear from you.
Fill out this issue to be considered.
If you need help, or want to see an example of a completed form, you can view this issue as a guide. Due to the nature of the Release Radar, and the number of requests, we only feature major version releases.
Major version releases are usually x.0, ie. 1.0, 2.0 etc. Due to the nature of the Release Radar, and the number of submissions we receive, we only feature major version releases. A major version is a ship with major changes and new things we can feature as part of the Release Radar. Whilst most projects use semantic versioning by number (ie. 1.0, 2.0, 3.0), we know not all software projects use this version naming system. If you use a different version naming system (such as version by date, or version by name), please note that in your submission.
Release Radars are posted each month for the previous month's releses. Ie. the February Release Radar will feature projects shipped in February and will be published the first week of March. Make sure we haven't already posted the Release Radar for the monthof your release. For example, if your project shipped on November 29 and you submit on the December 7, chances are the November Release Radar has already been published. Make sure you check this before submitting your project to avoid disappointment.
Projects are chosen by the GitHub Staff each month. By filling out the issue we can take a look at your project and consider it for the Release Radar.
We look at everything, from the top open source projects, right through to weekend hobbies. If you've created something cool that could benefit others, submit it. It doesn't have to be a huge project with hundred of contributors.
Yes you can submit your project multiple times for consideration. Please only submit for each major version release. We like to share the ❤️ around, so please don't get annoyed if we don't feature every release you ship.
Yep you sure can! We love to talk about how projects are being updated. Similar to above though, we do like to share the ❤️ around, so please don't get annoyed if we don't feature every release you ship.
If you'd like to send us images, gifs, or videos for your project, please add these when filling out the form. Issue forms support media uploads for images, gifs, and videos. If you need to add images/gifs/video after you submit, drop your media into the issue as a comment. Hint: it helps to add assets to your submission request! The more assets you include, the more likely you are to be featured in our promo video!
If you submit the form, and you want to add additional information, please add this to your issue as a comment instead of completing a new form. Alternatively you can edit the issue.
