Changing the release status classification of your project page does not give any sort of visibility boost, that field is simply a filter for those who want to limit the kinds of pages they are browsing based on completion status. If you’re interested in finding a way to boost your reach in response to an update, then we recommend publishing a “Major update” devlog with substantial update information included. Devlogs may be used to boost the freshness date of your project, which can influence how it appears on our popularity sorting algorithm.
