E-Mail Notification When A New Version Is Available

[gabrielt]

How about this: an e-mail notification when a new version is available. This would help us a lot.

You will be notified when you log in as an administrator, the software checks for a new version very night at midnight.

 

You can also follow our blog at http://www.revive-adserver.com/categories/releases/ where we will post a message every time a new version is released.

Count me in as one who would appreciate an email update for new releases. Seems like the only time I update, is when the version we are running gets exploited...

 

I never need to login as administrator for routine ad maintenance, so I never see the update notice. And, more to the point - in the case of critical updates due to security problems, timely notification can't be counted on if going to the config pages is the only way to tell. Going over a month without visiting the config pages is normal for me.

 

I just noticed when signing up for the forums here, that a "receive alerts/emails" option was pre-selected for me. Joining a mailing list might be preferable, but in the mean time - can't that be used to send out notices of updates?

We have no plans to start a mailing list for version upgrade notifications.

 

I've opened in issue in our project management tool, suggesting to add a feature where an notification about a new version being available is also displayed for users who are not a system administrator.
