To be fair he didn't post the project itself in over 4 years. His other submissions related to this project links directly to a new release, which seems ok.
You're right that this submission was unnecessary as there's been plenty of recent general discussions about the project. It would have been better to post a link directly to the new release/changelog and indicate that in the title. That'd probably also lead to fewer upvotes as other HN users would know that this is a feature release, not a new project.
