I *have* only been announcing -major- releases.  There have been a total of *22* 
CPAN releases since 1.14, all in the last couple months, and I only announced 
*3* of them:

  - 1.19_01 - first release in a long time, with major library updates and fixes
  - 1.20    - first stable release of that series; many more updates and fixes
  - 1.24_01 - first amalgamation release

I'll also note that I expect the 1.24_x to go stable very quickly with few 
changes, and that one won't warrant a separate announcement as you suggest; this 
is effectively it.

Granted, not much time passed between these, but that's just because work was 
being done fast.

The point of these very few announcements was to cue dependencies/users such as 
DBIx::Class to major changes so they could be sure to test with them.  You *do* 
like people to test against dev releases and not wait until "stable" to report 
bugs, don't you?

Now, if the real issue you have is that major updates to DBI or DBD drivers or 
other things that DBIx::Class depends on to operate are off-topic for the 
DBIx-Class list, and that anyone who would care monitors dbi-announce/users or 
CPAN recent items, then just say so and I will try to remember to stop posting 
about them here, assuming you will find out elsewhere.
