Ah, okay. That second version looks more robust anyway, regardless of
protocol version updates. Though it also makes the implicit assumption
that we're not changing the JSON formatter to output everything in a
single line. Ideally, you'd use a JSON parser.

Do you know jq?

$ curl .../summary..|jq ".relays_published"

The output is:

"2017-11-19 15:00:00"

That was the plan. But then we ran into quite a few issues with this
release, which is why we had to put out a patch release shortly. The
announcement will come on Monday. Usually it would come on the same day
or the next day at the latest.

Okay, I think we'll stick with the current plan then and try to get the
announcement out sooner.
