Silent release for number 5
A silent release for Distrochooser 5.
Since 21st July 2021 distrochooser.de links to version 5 instead of version 4. I decided to do a silent release instead of a release with a "large" (note the quotes) public announcement. Basically to not get a flood of bug reports at once...
Some numbers
Distrochooser 4 was set online at 21st october 2017. Within it's 1369 days of service it served approx. 677111 results. This means per day almost 500 test results where generated.
Overall: This was the longest time in service of any distrochooser versions, almost doubled the service time of version 2.
Just in comparison:
| Version | Tests | Tests per day | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 15000 | ~ 48 | 308 days (14th june 2014 - 18th april 2015) |
| 2 | 270120 | ~ 370 | 726 days (18th april 2015 - 13th april 2017) |
| 3 | 65945 | ~345 | 191 days (13th april 2017 - 21st october 2017) |
| 4 | 677111 | ~494 | 1369 days (21st october 2017 - 21st july 2021) |
Similar to previous switches, the old version remains online. Distrochooser 4 moved to https://oldv4.distrochooser.de, results generated from this version will be redirected onto this page.
