Wouldn't it be useful to setup an RSS feed for the releases. That way everyone can easily be notified when a new version is available.

Yes, please, this would be very, very nice.

Patrick is going to add an RSS feed for the Wiki shortly, but it's probably not necessary for new releases, as each branch now has independent notification in in the running software that a new release is available for that branch. It checks to see if an update is available every time you run it.

Hi John,

New releases mean that there are changes to what I'm used to or expect, which can be both good or bad. When I launch EigenD to get ready for a practice session or what not, I'm rarely prepared to deal with the oddities of a new release. So while it's nice to have the software check for new versions, I usually check the website myself each day independently to see what's new because I know I'll have to plan for additional time in my schedule to upgrade to it. That's why I think an RSS feed would be handy, new releases of any branch would simply appear in Mail.

Take care,

Geert
