improved "latest releases"?

I try to follow all new releases, but it happens time and again that I miss entries... but why?? If I follow the latest releases e.g. once a week and look at all entries until I reach an entry I already know, should I not see all new releases?

The answer is NO! Because the latest releases section is sorted by release date and not by submit date. This is logical, in a way, but not the way I intuitively expected things to be, because this also means that new uploads appear somewhere inside the list and not on top of the list as I expected.
This way, I miss entries that are not uploaded shortly after their release.

A good example that many users missed is e.g. Rosone by Karoshier - have you seen it?
Rosone
It was upped much later than it was released.

For me, this is a major problem. But how to solve it?
The idea I have in mind is having an additional list that is...
a) sorted by submission date (so that old pages will always be stable)
b) has a date filter for the release date period. A good default could be "from release date" = today and "to release date" = today+2 years

It would also be good to have some kind of "delta report" where one could see all releases that where upped much later than they were released, so that one could track down which releases one has missed in the past.

Yes, additional filters for the latest additions list would do the trick
(it should be possible to define a period from/to, not just "from now until")
I'd appreciate the same format (tabular report) as in latest releases.

However, if this list will not replace the "latest releases" list, I think a comment to the latest releases list should be added to make people aware of that they might miss entries when only following this list in case releases are uploaded later than they are released.
Why? Because it took me years to understand this ;-)
I believe there are more people like me who follow the latest releases list the way I did and with the issues I described... otherwise this list would not be so popular I think.

And a delta report would also be much appreciated!

Hey Perff,

are you looking into this? It would be much appreciated.
Some days ago I missed a release again as it was upped a week later than released, but found it accidentally again.
