Please do not use "autistic" as a slur. That is unkind and uncalled for. Autism is a real disease.

The change means that the person who submitted the post was in error. HN guidelines call for using the original title, with a few exceptions.

The page's title when the posting was made was "Julia v0.7.0 Release Notes", which you can confirm from this snapshot of 4 days ago: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/eb94b8c3d8e8ee2294ed... .

This suggests that you did not even click on the link to learn more about the project before complaining about the lack of context.

The practice I try to do in situations like this is not to complain about the problem, but to figure out the solution to my complaint, and post that. For example, you could have written: "The submitter used the wrong title. It should be 'Julia v0.7.0 Release Notes'. Julia is a programming language for technical computing.

That would be helping. Complaining about such a basic topic is not helping.
