Hi @durationextender! Thanks for submitting this!

We don't include links that are solely to a crates.io page or a GitHub repo (our README has some guidelines for what we accept in this section of the newsletter). Would you be open to composing some sort of write up of the project (release notes with some detail are fine!).

Thanks for the guidance! I've created detailed release notes:

https://github.com/durationextender/duration-extender-rs/releases/tag/v0.5.0

This includes:

• What's new (float support)
• Code examples
• Why the crate exists
• Safety guarantees
• Breaking changes

Would this work for the newsletter? Happy to adjust if needed.
