I'm seeing the navbar actually appear on top of the content now hiding
the first few lines of the page. That completely hides the new release
banner and partially hides the list of releases making it hard to tell
what release you're actually looking at.

Didn't we decide to get rid of the fixed nav bar already? It seems
like just a recipe for wasting precious vertical space, especially on
small screens like mobile screens.
