I feel software release announcements function as a way to "advertise" some relevant software on HN. Why should that be forbidden but Show HN be allowed?

Look at the text on the linked page, it doesn't really advertise or show anything.

Open TTD is fantastic and I'm happy to see it linked on HN. It would be better to link to a page that says something interesting about the project.

Because it isn't news. OpenTTD is 2 decade old project that is mostly recreating a 30 year old game.

If this was 13.0, that'd be one thing, but the top change in this is "Fix: Setting tree lines drawn incorrectly for RTL languages (#11070)"

The page you linked to is also minimally informative to anyone who doesn't already know what OpenTTD is.

Who is this post supposed to benefit?
