Given the traffic on the GWT group, I completely agree that you would have to do a fair amount of filtering in order to the catch the release announcements. Typically we "pin" the announcements to the top of the discussion list, but this is only useful if you use Group's web interface (which I suspect very few use). Along with the announcements, the product itself will periodically check for updates and prompt you when one is found. You won't have seen this notification yet because we're waiting to push 2.0.2 out the door before we update the source file that triggers the notification.
All that said, how about using the GWT Blog to post new release announcements? Subscriptions to the rss feed would then trigger notifications that a new release has been pushed. We're already posting major releases (e.g. 1.7, 2.0), and quite frankly it makes since to do the same for point releases. -- Chris On Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 7:43 PM, Erik Uzureau <[email protected]> wrote: > I did a bit of searching and can't seem to find if there is an email > list or google-group somewhere that posts only release announcements > and/or other pertinent information for users[1]. > > It seems to me (though maybe I'm wrong) that this list hosts the > information I'm looking for but also user questions, problems, etc. > With an average of 88 mails/day (according to google-groups) it seems > like maybe a list with just release announcements might be helpful? > > Erik > > ps.
