Why we don't cover software news on FOSS Post?
Because it's pointless to repeat what the original source is already saying in its official release announcement. Other websites do this for clicks and views, but as a reader, you should always prefer getting news from the source rather than some recycled blogspam website.
This is more prevalent in the open source world, where the source is probably more knowledgeable about their software than the journalist (random Internet guy, actually) reporting about it.
Cover only stuff that matters, and leave the fluff to fluffy ones.🌹
