Danny Kirchmeier commented on PDFBOX-3283:
------------------------------------------

Fair enough. I have no issue with either decision. 

When I'm comparing similar libraries or tools, I use the release date to get a quick pulse on the project status. Maybe I have too much tech lust, but I tend to skip over projects that haven't seen a release in three or four years. Sometimes I'm surprised to find a community around them, but my gut tells me that any issues I find will go unfixed.

The only reason I filed the issue was because I was surprised at the hoops I had to jump through to find a release date. I hope my issue didn't come off hostile or insulting.

> The site's main page does not report the date for any release. Without a date, I am unable to determine how recently the project has been updated, or if it is even under actively development.
> I was finally able to determine a release date for v2 by going to the release archive: http://archive.apache.org/dist/pdfbox/
> I think previous releases or other bulletins on the main page should also include the release date.
